Case Study: Large Aerospace & Defense Company achieves faster, more intuitive earned value reporting with Deltek Acumen Risk

Enhanced Usability and Earned Value Reporting with Deltek Acumen

A large Aerospace & Defense company faced a technology challenge when a corporate upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 rendered its Schedule Risk Assessment tool (Primavera Risk Analytics/Pertmaster) obsolete. Already using Deltek Acumen Fuse for schedule analytics, the team needed a modern replacement that improved usability, supported U.S. government Earned Value requirements, and integrated smoothly with existing tools.

The company adopted Deltek Acumen Risk to pair with Acumen Fuse, delivering a clean, intuitive interface (including slider bars for quick risk inputs), scalable handling of very large schedules, and earned value reporting that meets government requirements. Report processing dropped from hours to minutes, customer confidence in contract execution improved, and several government clients even considered purchasing their own licenses—making the transition seamless and highly effective.
