HERNDON, Va., Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Deltek, the leading global provider of software and solutions for project-based businesses, recently announced new enhancements to its purpose-built solutions for government contractors. These innovative features build upon Deltek’s decades of experience delivering project-based businesses the solutions they need to run their organizations. These include adding additional functionality to Deltek’s AI-powered business companion, Dela™, as well as several updates focused on addressing the unique requirements of aerospace and defense manufacturers.

Deltek announced new enhancements to its purpose-built solutions for government contractors.

Deltek Costpoint is the leading ERP software for government contractors, offering an all-in-one solution that connects project data and processes, automates tasks, incorporates AI, ensures compliance with government regulations, and delivers projects on time and on budget. Costpoint furthers its commitment to purposeful innovation and successful projects with its latest updates, including:

A Smarter Digital Assistant: Costpoint customers can have more in-depth conversations with the AI digital assistant, Ask Dela, with expanded capabilities that broaden the types of questions they can ask, improve responses, offer the ability to dig deeper by asking follow-up questions, and give access to chat history. This allows users to accomplish tasks more quickly without having to open related applications or create additional queries.Greater Convenience with the Costpoint App Integration for MS Teams: Costpoint has streamlined the experience so that users are able to enter time, submit and approve timesheets, and use Ask Dela without navigating away from Microsoft Teams. By meeting users where they are already working, this streamlined experience saves time and makes everyday tasks more efficient.Up-to-Date Compliance with Government Security Requirements: Deltek Costpoint GovCon Cloud Moderate has achieved FedRAMP Moderate Ready status, and Deltek is committed to helping government contractors stay compliant with all requirements – including the recently proposed updates to the DoD’s CMMC enforcement rules – to ensure they are able to win and maintain highly competitive contracts.Re-imagined Time and Expense: In addition to Costpoint’s Interactive email time submission feature, firms can increase productivity and visibility with a reimagined time and expense entry experience, giving them the ability to enter time within applications they’re already using. The new Quick Entry Expense Report makes it easier and quicker to enter expenses from one simplified screen.

Deltek is also incorporating Dela capabilities within its other solutions to provide greater efficiency and automation around the entire project lifecycle. Building on previous updates, GovWin IQ is rolling out its Smart Suite, which pairs analyst expertise and Dela’s AI-powered technology, so that government contractors can quickly and easily research and identify opportunities to win more contracts. These features allow users to rapidly glean answers to important questions and drill down into the data, leveraging the power of AI to make the best-informed decisions for business growth. Expanding on the power of Dela, additional features are also being released within the Deltek PM Compass and Deltek Talent Management solutions.

With a special focus on addressing the needs of the A&D manufacturing industry, other key product updates include the integration of Ask Dela within ProPricer and the release of Cost Volume Pro, a new product from ProPricer that streamlines proposal submission package creation and management. Deltek also recently released customer-requested enhancements for its quality assurance solution, TIP Technologies, as part of its commitment to improving the production process for manufacturers.

Envision Marks First International Application of SAFc at Global Citizen NOW, Providing Environmental Attributes Corresponding to 10 Tonnes of CO₂ Emissions Reductions

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Envision, a global leader in green technology, expanded its Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificate (SAFc) solution internationally as the Sustainability Partner of Global Citizen NOW: Perth. This marks the company’s first international application of SAFc, demonstrating a practical pathway to integrate aviation decarbonization into the sustainability practices of major global events.

For this event, Envision delivered environmental attributes corresponding to 10 tonnes of CO₂ emissions reductions. These reductions are linked to the actual production and use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with the associated attributes recorded and retired through a leading global Registry to ensure transparency and traceability.

Alongside this initiative, Envision’s Australian team participated in the event’s broader programme, including discussions on clean energy investment and industrial decarbonisation, bilateral meetings, and the Capital Mobilization Roundtable and Masterclass. Through these engagements, the team exchanged perspectives with leaders from business, investment and the climate community on Western Australia’s potential role in the next-generation green industries, while exploring opportunities to strengthen collaboration, mobilize investment and accelerate the clean energy transition.

Co-hosted by Global Citizen and the Government of Western Australia, the summit took place ahead of COP31, convening representatives from governments, businesses, philanthropic foundations, and First Nations communities to advance clean energy access, climate resilience, and inclusive economic development.

The Perth SAFc initiative builds on Envision’s SAFc application at the 26th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) in Xiamen in September, where the company demonstrated how SAFc could address the air-travel emissions of a major conference. Global Citizen NOW: Perth represents the next step—applying this model internationally and demonstrating its potential as a scalable solution for companies and major events seeking to tackle aviation-related emissions across global value chains.

The initiative also reflects Envision’s broader approach to corporate decarbonisation. Across wind and solar power, energy storage, green molecules, net-zero industrial parks, and green computing, Envision is developing integrated solutions to help companies tackle emissions across their operations and value chains.

“Envision will continue to explore the application of green fuels across aviation and international events, foster collaboration throughout the green fuel value chain, and support aviation’s low-carbon transition through transparent, traceable environmental attribute management,” said Bella Zhang, Head of Global SAF at Envision.

LINYI, China, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — When a Malaysian buyer experienced a sudden toothache during the Linyi Mall International Buyers Conference in China, he found help in an unexpected place.

A member of ChinaMarket‘s “Little Bees” service team, Chen Fuqing, promptly accompanied him to a local hospital and assisted him throughout the visit.

It was a small act of kindness, but it reflected something important about doing business in Linyi: international buyers have people they can turn to when they need help.

During the international buyers conference, ChinaMarket established its “Little Bees” service team to assist overseas visitors throughout their stay in Linyi.

From welcoming international buyers and arranging market visits to connecting them with suppliers, helping bridge language barriers, and responding to unexpected situations, the team works to make the sourcing experience easier and more comfortable.

A recent song released by ChinaMarket captures the spirit of the city:

“Come to Linyi, a city that welcomes you with open arms.”

In Linyi, global buyers can discover business opportunities, build partnerships, and experience the warmth of genuine hospitality.
