Deltek names CrunchTech Solutions its top ‘rising star partner’
UAE-based CrunchTech Solutions has for the second year running bagged a Global Partner of the Year Award from Deltek, a global software vendor to the professional services and consulting world.
In its annual ‘Global Partner of the Year Awards’, Deltek recognises its partners – accounting firms, consulting firms, systems integrators, software specialists and more – that have over the past twelve months provided outstanding accomplishments to both Deltek clients as well as the US-headquartered software group itself, across multiple regions and areas of expertise.
Of the eleven winners of this year’s award competition, eight are headquartered in the United Stats (where Deltek is headquartered as well), with Dubai-based Crunchtech Solutions the only Middle East-based partner among the cohort of winners.
An authorized partner for Deltek’s Acumen solution, CrunchTech has over the years built an extensive track record in helping project-based businesses adopt and optimise Acumen. The firm was founded in 2017 by former thought leaders and architects of project management software vendors (including Deltek) and focuses mainly on clients in the engineering and construction consulting space.
Acumen is Deltek’s solution for project scheduling and execution, and includes tools such as Acumen Fuse (a schedule diagnostics tool that helps pinpoint and optimise bottlenecks) and Acumen Risk (an integrated cost/schedule risk analysis tool).
“Our partners amplify enterprise software offerings for project-based businesses, and help expand the Deltek customer base around the world,” said Mike Hines, Vice President of the Global Partner Alliance at Deltek. “It is an honour to recognise CrunchTech Solutions for their outstanding achievements and innovation.”
In 2022, Deltek and CrunchTech also teamed up in the area of thought leadership. At the Construction Technology Festival held in Riyadh in December, the two companies served as joint industry sponsors and held a keynote on how they have helped consultancies focused on the built environment with delivering projects with more speed and efficiency.
Beyond the Acumen solution, other Deltek platforms that support consulting firms include Maconomy (ERP solution for project-based businesses), Vantagepoint (an ERP specifically for consultancies), and Cobra plus Acumen (project portfolio management).
The ten other winners of Deltek’s Global Partner of the Year Awards were: Infotek Consulting, Silversoft, Baker Tilly, Premier Consulting & Integration, NetQuarry, SilverEdge, Rhodium Digital, i3 Verticals, Aktion Associates, and Full Sail Partners.
