UK-Based Event Management and Consulting Firm KTS Selects Deltek’s Cloud ERP Solution

Deltek, Inc. today announced that KTS Events, an event management and consulting firm based in the UK, has chosen the cloud ERP solution Deltek First to better manage its projects, reduce administration time and better service its clients.

KTS Events, located in Milton Keynes UK, is a fast-growing event management and consulting firm. As a full service event design and production agency, KTS Events offers local, nationwide and international corporate event services.

KTS Events reached a point where running its business using Excel spreadsheets was not enough to efficiently service its clients and manage its many diverse projects. The company needed a solution that could help it improve the visibility of its entire project lifecycle, from bidding on new projects to successfully delivering those projects for its customers. Built specifically for fast-growing professional services firms, Deltek First was the perfect match for KTS Events because it offered world-class, industry-specific capabilities with the low cost and ease of use of the cloud. With the purchase of Deltek First, KTS Events will improve the way it services its clients and deliver its projects. In addition, KTS Events will reduce administration substantially because it no longer needs to rely on manually updating multiple spreadsheets on a daily basis. With these measurable improvements delivered by Deltek First, KTS Events will streamline its operations and have a platform that can scale with the company as it grows its business.

“Deltek First will improve how we manage our projects, reduce our administration time and ultimately help us service our clients in a better way. We have used Excel spreadsheets and Sage to support us previously but it took too much manual time for us to run our business with disparate systems and did not support our time-driven business processes. With Deltek First, we get a solution which requires no IT resources from our part and which is fully integrated and supports our project-based business process and growth in an optimal way. We have always kept a careful eye on how we perform for our clients and with Deltek First we get a solution that helps us both in supporting our existing customers and will aid us in finding and working with new ones,” said Katie Savage, Managing Director, KTS Events.

“We are excited to welcome KTS Events to our fast-growing list of Deltek First customers around the world that are leveraging the advantages of the cloud to power their businesses,” said Neil Davidson, Managing Director, Deltek UK. “It is in our DNA to make software solutions for project-focused and time-driven companies such as KTS Events. With Deltek First, we offer an affordable and scalable cloud solution which is tailor-made for fast growing professional services firms. We look forward to supporting KTS Events’ growth as they get an even better visibility of their entire project flow and can focus on their core business, namely servicing their clients.”
