Case Study: Teledyne Brown Engineering saves an estimated $1M and shortens month-end close with Deltek

Government contractors saving an estimated $1M using Deltek® solution

Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE), a government contractor serving space, defense, environmental and homeland security clients, faced a complex back-office challenge: a failed ERP deployment, time-consuming billing and receivables processes driven by frequent contract changes, and inefficient manual expense and month‑end workflows that tied up staff and cash flow.

TBE engaged Deltek to implement Costpoint (in nine months), deploy Costpoint EDI to send invoices to the government WAWF system, and automate time and expense processing. The changes cut average receivables carrying costs by an estimated $1M over four years, automated ~9,000 annual expense reports saving 10–15 minutes each (about $30K+ yearly), dramatically improved Days Sales Outstanding and cash flow, and reduced month‑end close from ~6 days to 1 day—improving both financial performance and staff quality of life.
