AIM is the third Software Equity Group client sold to Deltek in the past 14 months. Deltek acquired Welcom, a global leader in earned value management (EVM) and project portfolio management (PPM) solutions in March 2006, and C/S Solutions, Inc. (C/SSI), the world’s principal producer of Business Intelligence tools for the EVM marketplace, in July, 2006.

“The acquisition of AIM is the latest step that Deltek is taking in delivering the market leading solutions for EVM and enterprise project management markets,” said Kevin Parker, president and CEO of Deltek. “These acquisitions combined with our robust and growing EVM partner ecosystem position Deltek as the obvious and preferred provider of EVM solutions.” This acquisition will add approximately 40 employees to Deltek.

California-based AIM provides consulting services based on implementing a complete EVM solution, as well as the PMWorks suite of products that offer practical guidance for implementing and using a quality project management control system. Founded in 1993 by Mark Patlan and Craig Scott, AIM has quickly established itself as an EVM leader and has led many of the federal government’s project office efforts to implement integrated systems.
