Ames Laboratory Selects Deltek Enterprise Suite; Government Contracted Research Facility Becomes Second Deltek DOE Lab Client.

HERNDON, Va. -- Deltek, the enterprise resource planning (ERP) vendor of choice for project-based businesses, announced today that Ames Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy research facility operated under contract by Iowa State University, has purchased Deltek Costpoint(R), the back-end accounting solution at the core of the Deltek Enterprise(TM) suite.

Deltek will provide Ames with financial and project accounting, reporting, resource planning and business performance management tools to handle budgeting, forecasting and planning. Ames also purchased Deltek Time Collection and employee expense to account for more than 420 full-time and part-time employees and 200 non-paid associates.

"With our broad range of scientific priorities, Deltek provided an ERP solution that we felt would meet all of our project requirements," said Mark Murphy, CFO at Ames Laboratory. "Deltek's extensive background in government compliance and job costing enabled them to provide us with a tailored solution that will address the distinct needs of our business."

For more than 50 years, the Ames Laboratory has sought solutions to energy-related problems through the exploration of chemical, engineering, materials, mathematical and physical sciences. Ames Laboratory was established in the 1940s with the successful development of the most efficient process to produce high-purity uranium metal for atomic energy.

"Deltek's solutions play a valuable role in streamlining the organizational tasks of research facilities like Ames Laboratory," said Rick Lowrey, Executive Vice President of Deltek.
