IntroductionGovernment contractors face growing pressure to control costs, maintain compliance, improve project visibility, and operate efficiently in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Costpoint is an ERP within the Deltek intelligent platform built specifically for government contractors. It can give organizations the speed, clarity, and control to manage contracts across the project lifecycle, from project accounting and compliance to workforce management, billing, forecasting, and financial operations. Designed for FAR/DFARS-regulated environments, Costpoint can provide the built-in financial, project, and compliance controls needed to support any contract type, from Firm-Fixed Price to Cost+. This interactive tool is based upon The Total Economic Impact™ Of Deltek Costpoint, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Deltek in April 2026. The study was designed to evaluate and quantify the potential operational and financial impact of deploying Costpoint. Based on six interviews with organizations using Costpoint, the study identified four primary areas of value: • Expanded market access through support for CMMC 2.0 and compliance requirements • Improved project visibility to help reduce cost overruns and improve financial control • Administrative efficiencies across invoicing, audit preparation, and expense management • Reduced technology and maintenance costs from consolidating legacy systems and customizations This Dynamic ROI Calculator allows you to customize the study assumptions using your organization’s information to estimate the potential operational and financial impact Costpoint could have on your organization. Use the inputs on the left to customize the analysis and estimate the potential impact that an investment in Deltek Costpoint can bring to your organization.

New Market OpportunitiesOrganizations may be able to bid on more contracts due to Costpoint Cloud GCCM’s FedRAMP Moderate Compliance Certification. By meeting federal compliance requirements, organizations can better compete on net-new Department of Defense (DoD) contract opportunities, for which they might not otherwise be eligible with legacy, on-premises ERP systems. New Market Opportunities
Improved Project Cost ControlGreater data visibility in Costpoint can lead to quicker course corrections before projects close, which can reduce cost overruns and increase margins. Improved Project Cost Control
Administrative Time SavingsOperational efficiency savings reflect reduced manual effort across project-based finance and administrative workflows, including expense processing, billing support, invoice generation, reconciliation, project coordination, and compliance-related activities. Organizations with larger populations of project-charging employees often experience greater administrative complexity and larger opportunities for workflow automation and operational efficiency improvements. These efficiencies may also contribute to faster billing cycles, improved cash flow visibility, stronger operational control, and reduced administrative burden across finance and project teams. Administrative Time Savings
Technology Cost SavingsWhen an organization retires its legacy ERP solution, it also sunsets the associated hosting infrastructure costs (e.g., servers, server rooms, and utilities) required to support it. This can result in the reassignment of a number of FTEs who currently spend the majority of their time dedicated to the organization’s legacy technology. Technology Cost Savings
Quantified cost data as applied to Total Costs
Licensing CostsA combination of platform fees and minimal per-user license costs enables organizations to have secure GCCM cloud hosting and advanced business intelligence functionality. Note that organizations under 300 employees subscribe to Costpoint Essentials+GCCM, and organizations over 300 employees subscribe to Costpoint Advanced+GCCM. Licensing Costs
Initial Implementation CostsInitial costs for a one-year implementation include a combination of Deltek professional services, third-party systems integrators, and internal employee time dedicated to the effort to ensure a successful transition to Costpoint over nine months for an organization. Initial Implementation Costs
Ongoing Support CostsOrganizations can expect to dedicate a number of application managers to support Costpoint’s integration with other enterprise software and to manage the relationship with Deltek. Ongoing Support Costs
Training And Change ManagementWhen an organization first transitions to Costpoint, members of the financial team can expect to receive 30 hours of training time. After the initial implementation period, organizations can budget minimal training time costs. Training And Change Management
From the information provided in the interviews, Forrester constructed a Total Economic Impact™ framework for those organizations considering an investment in Costpoint. The objective of the framework is to identify the cost, benefit, flexibility, and risk factors that affect the investment decision. Forrester took a multistep approach to evaluate the impact that Costpoint can have on an organization. Due Diligence Interviewed Deltek stakeholders and Forrester analysts to gather data relative to Costpoint. Interviews Interviewed six representatives at organizations using Costpoint to obtain data about costs, benefits, and risks. Financial Model Framework Constructed a financial model representative of the interviews using the TEI methodology and risk-adjusted the financial model based on issues and concerns of the interviewees. ROI Calculator Constructed a calculator based on the model in the associated study and in accordance with Forrester and TEI standards. Forrester’s aim is to clearly show all calculations and assumptions used in the analysis. DisclosuresReaders should be aware of the following: This study is commissioned by Deltek and delivered by Forrester Consulting. It is not meant to be used as a competitive analysis. Forrester makes no assumptions as to the potential ROI that other organizations will receive. Forrester strongly advises that readers use their own estimates within the framework provided in the study to determine the appropriateness of an investment in Costpoint. For any interactive functionality, the intent is for the questions to solicit inputs specific to a prospect’s business. Forrester believes that this analysis is representative of what companies may achieve with Costpoint based on the inputs provided and any assumptions made. Forrester does not endorse Deltek or its offerings.
