/ what hurts
Why GovCons leave Deltek Costpoint
- Implementation runs months and burns $50K–$200K in consulting fees
- Designed around large prime contractors, not small federal contractors
- Requires dedicated IT staff and ongoing admin overhead
- Per-user pricing penalizes growth
- No built-in CPARS narrative builder or risk-detection layer
/ what helps
Why they pick DeliverOps
- Same-day setup, import your award and start tracking in an hour
- Flat monthly pricing, no per-seat tax
- Built by an actual federal contractor who lived these problems
- CPARS narrative builder running through the entire contract
- AI flags delivery slips weeks before they hit your CO
/ make the switch
Built for the way you actually deliver.
