What is Deltek ConceptShare?

Deltek ConceptShare (acquired in 2018) focuses exclusively on the review and approval process for creative teams in large companies. The vendor says that by integrating online proofing with workflow automation, ConceptShare helps shorten the review cycle so that users need fewer iterations, save time, and deliver better output.

The vendor’s value proposition is that with their solution, companies can move away from using manual checklists and relying on email to request reviews and gather feedback. According to the vendor, unlike competitors ConceptShare integrates proofing and workflow automation to measure and improve creative approval processes.

Good program for digital graphic reviewing

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were asked by the client to use Deltek ConceptShare as part of the interior graphics reviews that were being done for the interior of the project by another group. The owner wanted us to be secondary reviewers of the images in case the locations included other Architectural elements that may influence the space (I.E. access panels, fire extinguishers, etc...). The software allowed us to see the proposed graphics from the designer and directly make comments within the program for the owner to review.
