History
editDeltek was founded in 1983 as Deltek Systems by father and son Donald and Kenneth E. deLaski (Deltek was short for deLaski Technologies).[5] The company had a successful IPO in 1997 and was publicly traded until 2002.[8][3] After the tech bubble burst in the early 2000s, the company went private again.[8] Then, in 2005, the private equity firm New Mountain Capital bought 75% of Deltek’s shares.[8] In 2006, the company had around 11,000 customers, including Bechtel Corp., Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, and Verizon.[8] Deltek went public for the second time in 2007, and raised $162 million with its initial public offering (IPO).[9] New Mountain reduced its stake in the company from 75% to around 59%.[3]
In July 2012, Deltek put itself up for sale.[3] At the time, the company had a market value of around $800 million.[3] In August, the company was bought by Thoma Bravo LLC for $1.1 billion and again went private.[2][1][10][4] In 2013, Michael Corkery was named president and CEO, and Michael Krone was named the CFO.[5][11] In July 2016, Deltek acquired the Nottingham, UK-based company Union Square Software.[12] Also in 2016, Deltek became part of Roper Technologies’ portfolio of companies when Roper acquired Deltek for $2.8 billion.[6][13] In 2020, the company had approximately 3,000 employees in over 12 locations around the world.[14] In 2023, Deltek claimed 95% of public sector spending across the U.S. federal, state, local, and education market, and public sector spending in Canada.[5] In Europe, the company mainly works with consultants, architecture firms, and engineering firms.[5]
In 2022 and 2023, Deltek was named one of America's best mid-sized employers by Forbes and Statista Inc.[15] In 2022, the Washington Post included Deltek as one of the Top Workplaces of 2022.[16] Deltek is also rated TSIA Outstanding and has the J.D.
