Deltek is leveraging artificial intelligence and automation to help government contractors manage contracts, from identifying opportunities to closing out contracts.
In a blog post published on the company’s website, Deltek said that through its AI-powered platform, Dela, it is providing business development teams with the tools to improve compliance, transform project management and win more business.
AI-Enabled Opportunity Identification
According to Deltek, the company’s GovWin IQ platform uses AI to help contractors identify and qualify opportunities early in the acquisition cycle.
GovWin IQ’s features such as Smart Search, Smart Tags and Smart Fit Scores enable users to evaluate leads based on historical data, agency experience, performance history and opportunity title.
Through early visibility and initial opportunity qualification that such tools provide, Deltek said contracting teams could spend more time on strategic research and pursue the right leads.
Streamlining Strategic Planning, Market Research & Proposal Generation With AI
Deltek stated that AI-powered tools like Smart Summaries support strategic planning and market research by analyzing large volumes of data and turning them into actionable insights, enabling business development teams to assess competitors, analyze procurement documents and learn about buyers.
According to the company, AI capabilities within GovWin IQ could help proposal teams draft outlines, compliance matrices and initial drafts of proposals, with more features arriving soon.
Ask Dela could provide insights into opportunity details, evaluation criteria and compliance requirements. Users can also use Ask Dela to quickly find the functions and features that they need to accelerate processes.
With AI-driven capabilities and automation, Deltek noted that contractors could better manage proposal pricing, cost and compliance data to win bids.
Deltek said tools like ProPricer and BOE Pro automate labor and material estimating, converting Basis of Estimate justification text into priced inputs.
By integrating AI into workflows, Deltek stated that contractors operating in highly regulated sectors, where proposal compliance is critical, can focus on the most promising opportunities, make informed pursuit decisions and craft competitive proposals that address their buyers’ challenges.
