 We hope you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend and were able to spend time with friends and family and used the break from work to rejuvenate! As we get back to tackling our firm's objectives, we at Full Sail Partners have a couple of updates to provide.
You spoke loud and clear and Deltek heard your voice! We are happy to announce that Deltek will be extending support for Vision 6.1 SP4 and 6.2 SP2 through May 1st, 2014. This extension of maintenance support should give your firm plenty of time to properly plan for the future of your Deltek Vision system. Clients on these versions will now receive year end updates. If you have any questions regarding changes in support, please contact us.
As part of our quarterly theme of growth and metrics we felt it was appropriate to mention some of our recent growth with the introduction of our two newest employees, Sean Keller and Stacey Ho. As a seasoned IT professional, Sean assists our hosting clients, and Stacey brings more than 15 years of marketing experience and CRM knowledge to the team as our newest CRM consultant. Check out both of these employees profiles -- they have a bright future here at Full Sail!
Sincerely,
Full Sail Partners

Evaluating Your Business Growth Plan with Metrics: An Introduction

Discover five key tips for a successful Business Growth Plan.
Using Project Management Metrics to Drive Firm Growth
 Although it might seem efficient to have a single indicator of project success that measures the firm's profit growth - for example, project profitability - there are pitfalls with such an approach.

Deltek Vision Timesheet Activity Automation
Activities provide a greater way to gain visibility into communication efforts across the firm about a client. They provide a detailed view of what is going on with a project/firm/opportunity and are critical for providing team backup and covering your backside. You are probably aware of three main ways to create activities in Deltek Vision - Manually (slow), Using MODI (faster but limited), and CMO (even faster but costs more $$).
Full Sail Partners is introducing a fourth option - automated timesheet activities!
Fall in Love: Proposal Automation for PMs
When you think about proposals, most firms think about profiling projects, employee resumes, and your corporate profile. However, most proposals, about 80% on average, are in a letter format and generated outside of Deltek Vision by the Project Manager. Why? Because Project Managers love their Excel spreadsheets and Word documents and most firms believe it's too hard to automate for the different variables needed.
Nonsense! See how other Deltek users increase efficiency and reduce loss of data through automation.
