Navigate the Budgeting & Planning software
Budgeting & Planning (B&P) is business intelligence software for project-based government contractors. It is a budget and cost reporting web-based application that integrates seamlessly with Deltek's Costpoint and GCS Premier accounting systems.
It is the fusion of best practices in comprehensive project and operations fiscal performance management, including all of the supporting data architecture and integration processes.
The program integrates company-wide reporting, budgeting, and financial management, which promotes collaboration and cooperation within the project management community.
Launching Budgeting and Planning
The user interface contains links to the various features in B&P. It provides a way for you to interact with the application, (also known as input), and a way for the application to provide feedback, (also known as output).
The user interface offers access to data and tools, depending on the management context you choose. The interface is intuitive, so youll find it easy to move around and find the information you need to check data.
