Why Take

Deltek Vision

to the Cloud

Determining the best use of financial and physical

resources is a challenge A/E/C firms face every day.

Solving business challenges is a priority, but when it

comes to IT, maintaining infrastructure can take critical

time away from what matters most.

Deltek is dedicated to delivering innovative solutions to

our clients, such as Vision in the Cloud.

What exactly is the cloud?

?

In most businesses, you manage your applications and

save your data via a shared corporate network to on-

site servers. “The Cloud” moves those servers off-site,

giving you better, more secure access to the important

data you need without the maintenance headache.

patches and other tasks take your valuable IT

resources away from the projects you need them

projects that directly impact your business and

leave the maintenance of your Vision

applications to the Deltek Solutions experts.

Focus Experts on Core Business

With Vision Essentials, focus your limited IT resources on the projects that

improve your core business, not just managing IT infrastructure

and hardware doesn’t break down on schedule

making it difficult to budget for the unexpected.

expenses with one simple subscription fee.

deltek.com/first

With Vision Essentials, you pay one subscription fee that you can easily

budget for and rely on year after year. Without the unforeseen financial

burdens, you can better leverage your IT budget for projects that impact your business most.
