About The Customer
VSE Corporation is a broadly diversified government contractor company that focuses on creating, sustaining, and improving the systems, equipment, and processes of the U.S. Government. Established in 1959, VSE's mission is to provide engineering and technical support services to reduce the cost and improve the reliability of Department of Defense systems and equipment. As a government contractor, VSE handles numerous large-scale projects, making cost point analysis crucial for the company. Managing the business side of projects requires the ability to effectively control finances, labor utilization, and risk assessments. The company operates in the United States.
The Challenge
VSE Corporation, a diversified government contractor, was facing challenges in managing the business side of its large-scale projects. The company was struggling with real-time data gathering for current project analysis, which hindered its understanding of the financial status of ongoing projects. This delay in data gathering and analysis led to incorrect invoicing and backlog tracking, causing payment delays from customers. If a project stalled and did not complete on time and on budget, it could have significant consequences for VSE and other government contractors. The company also needed to effectively handle labor utilization and risk assessment to ensure employees were as chargeable as possible and there was financial support for unplanned projects. VSE's previous Business Intelligence capabilities were complex, inflexible, and failed to provide a standardized view of data.
The Solution
VSE Corporation deployed Deltek Costpoint Analytics, Powered by QlikView, to 150 employees in less than four weeks. This solution allowed VSE to analyze Revenue, Profit, Backlog, and Labor Utilization, adding features such as HR Analytics. With QlikView Server (64-bit) and QlikView, VSE easily supports security and visibility while handling the large data volume of nearly 100 million records. The company implemented the solution in a series of phases. Initially, 25 users within VSE purchased the product in various departments such as IT, Finance, and Operations. The goal of phase one was to include senior management in deployment from the beginning. VSE wanted to ensure its senior executives would be able to use the solution without complications.
