A successful ERP implementation isn’t measured only by meeting the go-live date. It is measured by a properly configured system, properly trained personnel, and confidence in the data output. Redstone GCI’s Deltek Costpoint consultants strive to ensure clients not only meet their go-live date but also feel operationally ready to run and use their ERP system. In this article, we focus on what a Costpoint implementation with Redstone GCI looks like from discovery through go-live. Our implementation approach is structured around more than system configuration. It is guided by government contracting expertise, operational understanding, and the compliance considerations that shape how government contractors need Costpoint to function.

Implementing any new ERP system is no small task. As you probably know, Deltek Costpoint is a complex system. Complex doesn’t have to mean complicated. No need to stress. This is where a strong implementation partner and a strong internal implementation team play an important role. What drives the success of an implementation? Detailed planning, effective communication, training, hands-on testing, data reconciliations, and a commitment by company personnel to see the project through every “first” after go-live.
