Herndon, VA (December 11, 2007) - Deltek, Inc. (NASDAQ: PROJ), the leading provider of enterprise applications software for project-focused organizations, today announced that Challenger Geomatics Ltd. has selected Deltek Vision to streamline its accounting and planning processes. The Western Canadian based Challenger Geomatics provides innovative professional land surveying services throughout Canada and internationally to a wide range of industries including oil and gas, construction and municipal.

"We needed a specialized solution geared particularly toward our type of business. We selected Deltek Vision because it is designed specifically for our project-based accounting and planning application needs," said Dave Thomson, President of Challenger Geomatics Ltd.
