Deloitte lands ERP consulting contract

Deloitte Consulting LLP received a blanket purchase agreement from the Defense Department to bid on enterprise resource planning implementation projects valued at $1 billion, the company said today.

Deloitte is one of five companies with agreements to complete for task orders to support SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft implementations.

The agreements were awarded under the Defense Department's Enterprise Software Initiative, a project designed to implement a software enterprise management process within the Defense Department.

The agreement will allow Defense Department agencies to purchase a range of commercial off-the-shelf software implementation service from Deloitte. The services include configuration, integration installation, data conversion, training, testing, object development, interface development, business process re-engineering, project management, risk management and quality assurance.

Under the terms of the agreement, the New York-based professional services firm can receive orders for ERP implementation support from all Defense Department agencies.

The other firms are Accenture Ltd., BearingPoint Inc., Computer Sciences Corp. and IBM Corp.
