A new collaboration combines Deltek’s project-based ERP platform with Cognizant’s transformation expertise to enable faster, lower-risk cloud migrations, support complex multi-country deployments, and set the foundations to help scale AI adoptions
Deltek®, the intelligent platform powered by Dela
AI, has announced a new strategic partnership with Cognizant to scale service delivery to support the implementation of the Deltek Maconomy ERP application for complex enterprise organisations across the UK and Europe.
The collaboration brings together Deltek’s project-based ERP and financial management capabilities with Cognizant’s consulting, transformation, and integration expertise – providing end-to-end support across implementation, upgrades, cloud migration, and ongoing managed services.
Accelerating cloud adoption for better consistency
Together, the two organisations aim to support businesses looking to move away from legacy systems by accelerating cloud adoption, improving visibility across projects and financials, and enabling large-scale, multi-country deployments with a focus on data consistency, governance and operational standardisation.
Neil Davidson, group vice president, Deltek said: “For project-based organisations, business transformation is no longer optional. To embed technology, including AI, effectively and realise its value, organisations must first address the fundamental barriers that limit visibility, performance, and growth.
“Too often, modernisation happens incrementally, without tackling these structural challenges. Overcoming this requires a more joined-up approach across finance, projects, and data, built on a modern, platform-based ERP foundation. With the right technology and experienced partners like Deltek and Cognizant, organisations can achieve meaningful transformation while maintaining continuity.”
Rohit Gupta, UK&I managing director, Cognizant added: “Enterprises are under pressure to move faster, serve customers better, and do more with less. But scaling AI adoption often stalls in pilots due to fundamental challenges such as legacy tech, governance, and data readiness.
“By combining Deltek’s enterprise technology and our transformation expertise, we look to give clients a practical way to strengthen their finance and operational foundations while preparing for an AI-enabled future.”
More informed decision-making in a growing digital climate
According to joint client Kantar, “Working with Cognizant and Deltek gave us the confidence and capability to deliver one of the most important finance transformations in our organisation. The combined team brought deep product expertise, delivery discipline, and a collaborative approach that made a complex upgrade feel seamless.
“Their partnership enabled us to validate thousands of test cases, manage integrations, and move to the latest release of Deltek Maconomy without disruption to the business.
“With both teams working together, we were able to move faster, help reduce delivery risk and realise value much sooner than we could have achieved alone.”
The collaboration reflects the growing demand from organisations seeking end-to-end, platform-led transformation, where modern ERP, connected data, and AI capabilities come together to improve performance and enable faster, more informed decision-making.
