Polaris is an emerging small business that provides services to the federal government and commercial entities including information technology, management consulting, engineering and training. It needed to establish a sophisticated financial management system that could keep pace with its growing business, while simultaneously maintaining DCAA compliance on its government projects. Polaris required a solution that could deliver access to accurate information at a moment's notice - allowing the company, as well as auditors - to easily track general and administrative expenses, fringe expenses, overhead, and total company performance.

Polaris chose Deltek because it provided the industry knowledge and financial infrastructure that will be the backbone for the company. Deltek First has the government contracting capabilities that will grow with Polaris as its business expands in both GovCon and commercial markets. Leveraging the power of the cloud, Deltek First GovCon Essentials provides everything small government contractors such as Polaris need to be profitable and compliant, including managing the books, controlling project costs and meeting labor and time keeping requirements.

"Making the leap to Deltek was a strategic investment for our business and one that will benefit us and help us thrive today and in the future," said Joe F. Edwards, CEO of Polaris Technology Solutions. "Deltek is the government contracting industry standard and its Deltek First solution is an important part of our focus to grow and expand into new markets."

"Deltek First GovCon Essentials was made for companies like Polaris, offering a turnkey solution for cost accounting and doing business with the federal government," said Tom Mazich, Deltek's Executive VP and General Manager - GovCon. "By using Deltek as a key component of its financial foundation, Polaris is armed with the cutting-edge financial management capabilities it needs to reach its growth and profitability goals."
