An appearance was made at Wednesday’s ITCF conference by a stand from US accounting and ERP software vendor Deltek. I was aware of the business from monitoring various US-based websites, but I hadn’t appreciated that they were also active on the eastern side of the Atlantic (they have a London office and one in Welwyn Garden City). Still, with none of their potential UK competitors (eg: Causeway, COINS) present, perhaps they reckoned this was a good event to build some recognition in the UK.
Their literature, freely distributed around the conference venue, did expose Deltek’s US origins – I am not sure if UK buyers would be particularly swayed by talk of Federal contracts, etc.
