HERNDON, Va. - March 22, 2013 - Deltek, Inc., the leading global provider of enterprise software and information solutions for professional services firms and government contractors, announced today it has been selected as a finalist for the Third Annual Institute for Excellence in Sales & Business Development (IES&BD) Awards in the Sales Innovation award category. The award winners will be announced at the IES&BD Award breakfast gala on April 12 at the USA Today Headquarters Building in Tyson's Corner, VA.

Awards will be presented in five categories that recognize and celebrate sales & business development operational excellence. The five categories are for Excellence in: Sales Innovation; Sales Training; Team Building, Management and Development; Alliance Management; and Customer Partnering.

"Congratulations to the 2013 IES&BD finalists for delivering such superior sales & business development operational excellence," said Fred Diamond, Founder of the Institute for Excellence in Sales & Business Development and President of DIAMOND Strategic Marketing. "It's incredible to see the level of accomplishment that our finalists and winners continue to exhibit as they create and deliver innovative customer-centric approaches to grow their businesses, meet customer needs, and bring valuable solutions to the market."

"Deltek is honored to be included as a finalist in this category. Our sales team was tasked with creating a new 360-degree view of clients and prospects through our CRM system to ensure we have a complete perspective on the companies we are targeting. Their innovative approach to making needed system and process changes while still using the system itself - akin to changing the tires on a moving car - was a huge success. Throughout the transition to our new 360-degree view, they continued to sell effectively and helped us have an incredibly successful year," said Mike Corkery, president and CEO of Deltek. "On behalf of the entire organization, I congratulate our sales team on this accomplishment."
