Herndon, VA. Consolidated Operations Group, Inc. (“COG”) announced that they have become a Consulting Partner in the Deltek® alliance partner network. COG is a full service provider of core financial, information technology, human resources, and organizational strategy / management consulting services to mid-sized Architecture, Engineering, Legal, and project-based management firms. Deltek Vision® is a web-based enterprise software solution designed for A/E and professional service firms.

Headquartered in Chicago, COG has had primary accounting & administrative responsibilities with A/E firms for high profile projects in 39 States in North America, Asia, and Europe using Deltek software products. In 2004, COG formed the Chicago Vision User group, which provides education, best practices, and newsworthy information to its membership.

Deltek and COG have recognized the need to focus their resources on what they each do best. "In order to create a sustainable competitive advantage we must tap the resources of others to make continuous advances in an ever-changing competitive marketplace," remarked Stephen Rittenhouse, President, and Founder of Consolidated Operations Group.

Through this alliance, COG will deliver consulting services to A/E firms using Deltek Vision applications and support the channel of Deltek re-sellers. COG offers a complete package of accordant services, which includes system assessment, conversions, implementations, upgrades, training, and custom reporting. As a Deltek Consulting Partner, COG complements the extended enterprise model by presenting a single face to clients and customers. Rittenhouse remarked that the Deltek extended enterprise model is a formula for sustainable innovation, service, and depth, i.e., it is made up not just of its employees, its board members, and executives, but also its alliances with business partners, collaboration with its suppliers, and integration with its customers.

COG has formed alliances with several CPA firms to enhance its full service offerings such as audit, reviews, compilations, statutory, tax return preparations, and planning. In addition, COG utilizes outside legal counsel(s) to assist with business structuring, re-organizations, mergers, and the formation of subsidiary companies.

About Consolidated Operations Group
Rittenhouse stated that, "COG was formed because of a void that existed in the professional services environment. For the past thirty years, this environment has become competitive, heavily regulated, and prone to the risk of malpractice claims. In short, the ownership of professional service firms has been forced to concentrate on their core business and less on the day-to-day administrative and clerical duties. Because the needs of every business are different, our clients have the option of utilizing COG for consulting services or contract us for their mainstay operational day-to-day project accounting / management, cash management, budgeting, billing, payables, time / expense reporting, reporting, profitability analysis, and credit management."
