MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 1999--

Deltek Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTK) (www.deltek.com)

Kisinger Campo & Associates recently chose Deltek(R) System's Advantage product as its financial management system.

Kisinger Campo, a 165-person firm specializing in transportation and construction engineering, purchased Advantage after an extensive six-month evaluation of financial management applications. The firm is headquartered in Tampa, Florida, with offices in Georgia and North Carolina. (www.kcaeng.com). Harper and Shuman, which Deltek acquired last year, developed Advantage in 1997.

Controller Ron Gott said, "The selection of a financial management system was very important to us for two reasons. First of all, a strong accounting system increases the value of our business and gives us a competitive advantage when we bid on projects. Second, our project managers wanted to be able to access detailed project information more easily." According to Gott, "The Deltek/Harper and Shuman name kept coming up when we talked with other engineering firms. The fact that a high number of firms in the ENR Top 100 use their products was very reassuring. We also found Advantage was priced competitively with the other offerings."

Deltek financial management systems are used by 170 of the Top 500 design and engineering firms and 38 of the Top 100 pure design firms ranked by Engineering News Record for 1999.

Gott had narrowed the choice to two systems after attending the PSMJ Shootout held in Chicago, on April 20-21, 1999, where design firms attending the shootout voted Advantage the clear winner in 7 of 11 categories, including flexibility in project budgeting and access to project information. He found it helpful to compare several systems at once and confirm that Advantage was the right choice.

"Our project managers made the actual decision to go with Advantage and it was unanimous. They particularly liked the project budgeting features, the ability to review project totals prior to posting, and the ease in accessing project data any time." Gott likes the "excellent on-line Help system, the SQLServer-based architecture, the ease of data exchange with other programs, and the solid plans for web-enabling the entire system."

Kisinger Campo purchased Advantage in late June, will run tests over the next three months, and then begin to run parts of the system in parallel until January 1. "We hope to be live in the early part of the year 2000," says Gott. "Our project managers are looking forward to access at that time."
