For Immediate Release



Deltek’s new Clarity study provides A&E firm leaders with the industry’s most comprehensive study of the financial performance of today’s firms and their outlook on the market; findings to be presented at the 2013 Deltek A&E Growth Tour being held May 14 thru June 11 in various cities across the U.S.

HERNDON, Va. – May 14, 2013 – Deltek, Inc., the leading global provider of enterprise software and information solutions for professional services firms and government contractors, has released the 34th edition of the Deltek Clarity Architecture and Engineering Industry Study – a comprehensive report that provides key metrics on the financial performance of today’s A&E firms and insight into their outlook on the market. Deltek experts and industry leaders will present the survey results during the 2013 Deltek A&E Growth Tour, held May 14 thru June 11. Companies that can’t join Deltek on the tour can attend a June 18 webinar to hear the results of Deltek’s latest study.

The last five years have been a financial roller coaster ride for most A&E firms, but the good news is that many have started the climb back up, as shown in the results of the Deltek’s Clarity Industry Study. The study summarizes survey responses from senior executives in the A&E industry on their performance in 2012 and expectations for 2013. The Clarity study assesses dozens of key operating metrics, including Net Labor Multiplier, Overhead Rate, Utilization Rate, and Operating Profit Rate, that show steadily improving financial performance for A&E firms in the United States. By comparing their organizations against high performers, firm leaders can benchmark their success against peer firms, and plan for the future based on the market outlook that is a key part of the report.

The Clarity study will be presented on the 2013 Deltek A&E Growth Tour across the U.S. with events in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta and Chicago. These free, half-day events will feature experts from Deltek, as well as industry leaders from organizations such as Greenway Group, Morrissey Goodale, PSMJ Resources, and Rusk O’Brien Gido + Partners.

“While A&E firms are still feeling the effects of the economic recession, many signs are positive for the industry. Our latest Clarity A&E report along with other industry indicators, such as the AIA’s Architecture Billings Index, show that opportunities are increasing and firms are growing,” said Claus Thorsgaard, Deltek’s Executive VP and General Manager – Professional Services. “As we unveil the results of our new report, we are providing A&E firms with insight into how the best organizations are performing, and this level of insight will enable A&E firms to make smarter, more strategic decisions that contribute to profitable growth.”
