Case Study: COWI achieves higher utilization and profitability with Deltek Maconomy

Using Deltek Maconomy to institute A ‘One Company’ management approach to achieve higher utilization and better profitability

COWI, a global consulting group with more than 6,000 employees, was struggling to unify operations after rapid growth and acquisitions left it with more than 15 disconnected financial systems. The company needed a more aligned “one company” approach and a solution better suited to a professional services business than traditional ERP tools. It chose Deltek Maconomy to support project, resource, and financial management across the firm.

Deltek implemented Deltek Maconomy along with change management consulting and training to drive adoption across COWI’s global organization. The result was streamlined processes, better access to timely information, improved project profitability visibility, and increased billability and utilization. COWI expects Deltek to help lift EBIT margin by 1 to 1.5 percent, with ROI payback targeted within 2 to 3 years.
