Switch to Fresh Projects
Deltek Union Square, now known as Deltek PIM, has long been used by architecture, engineering and multidisciplinary practices as an ERP platform for managing projects, finances and operational reporting.
If your practice is reviewing its options, you’re likely reassessing whether a traditional ERP system is still the right fit for how your firm operates today.
Replacing a legacy ERP system is not just about finding similar features. It’s about restoring visibility, confidence and alignment across your firm.

Fresh Projects provides adoptable practice performance software built specifically for professional services firms in the built environment.

Deltek Union Square, now known as Deltek PIM, has been widely used across professional services in the built environment. However, many firms have found that traditional ERP-style systems introduce operational complexity that can make day-to-day use difficult.
Practices commonly report challenges such as:
-Complex implementation and heavy configuration
-Finance-led interfaces that delivery teams struggle to adopt
-Reporting that requires specialist knowledge
-Delayed visibility into project margins
-System fatigue across multi-office teams
As firms continue evaluating Deltek PIM and similar ERP systems, many are taking the opportunity to reassess what modern practice management software should deliver. Increasingly, practices are looking for platforms that provide clear financial visibility without the operational overhead typical of ERP environments.
