Dulles, VA, October 15, 2024 – Unanet, the leading provider of project-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) for the government contracting (GovCon) industry, today announced that Zaden Technologies (Zaden) has selected Unanet ERP GovCon to grow strategically.

Zaden provides software automation solutions in areas such as development, security and operations (DevSecOps), cloud computing, and cybersecurity. The company leverages artificial learning to reduce costs and enhance digital transformation for customers in the defense, commercial, health care and aerospace sectors. Zaden’s newest software product is an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled model-based systems engineering tool called Icarus, that quickly modernizes legacy systems for government enterprises. It is attracting interest from capital investors and bringing multiple new business opportunities into the company’s pipeline.  

As compelling as those opportunities are, leaders at Zaden recognized that to capitalize on these benefits, the company must upgrade its systems, starting with its off-the-shelf financial and accounting software. This software required cumbersome workarounds, costly plug-ins, and lacked the sophistication to scale with their ambitious growth goals.

After formally assessing multiple ERP solutions during a rigorous and thorough
evaluation process, Zaden landed with Unanet, primarily due to Unanet’s proven ability to deliver a purpose-built solution that government clients trust to enable defense contract audit agency (DCAA) compliance and the system’s streamlined integration with timekeeping, accounting, and payroll.

“Government clients know that Unanet ERP GovCon is built from the foundation with strong DCAA-compliance controls,” said Valentine Nwachukwu, president and CEO of Zaden. “As a GovCon startup, indicating that we’re using Unanet will demonstrate our maturity in financial management, instill confidence that our firm is DCAA compliant, and support our efforts in bidding on prime government contracts.”

Approved business systems are becoming a major differentiator in bids, according to Unanet’s most recent GAUGE Report, a widely referenced benchmarking analysis that highlights trends, best practices, and business challenges for GovCons. The findings from this year’s edition highlight the growing significance of business systems as an indicator of compliant, high-quality service delivery—and a key competitive differentiator for GovCons when they bid on new business.

Today, more than 2,000 GovCons have selected Unanet ERP GovCon and Unanet CRM because the solutions have the right mix of functionality and accessibility while also offering the ability to scale and grow seamlessly.
