Deltek Vantagepoint integration consulting
Connect Deltek Vantagepoint to the rest of your business.
Deltek Vantagepoint runs projects, time, billing and client relationships for many architecture, engineering and consulting firms. We build the connections and tools around it, so pursuits, timesheets and invoices stop being copied between systems.

How it starts
What happens after you reach out.
You work directly with a senior builder from the first call to launch, not a hand-off to a junior team. How we work
Before we start
What we need from you.
- Someone on your team with admin rights sets up our access. We walk them through it.
- You choose what the connection can see and change, and you can switch it off at any time.
- We build and test on sample data before touching live records.
Technical details for your IT team
Your Vantagepoint administrator opens Utilities, Integrations, API Authorization and adds a new authorization for the connection. Vantagepoint shows a client ID, a secret and your database name, which the connection uses to sign in (see Deltek's guide). The connection also signs in as a Vantagepoint user, so we ask for a dedicated user with a role that reaches only what it needs. Generating a new secret or deleting the authorization cuts the connection off. Versions before 5.0 share one authorization across every connection, so we check your version first.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do we have to replace Vantagepoint?
No. Vantagepoint stays your project and accounting system. We build around it and connect what it doesn't reach.
Doesn't Deltek already connect to our other tools?
Deltek and other vendors offer ready-made connectors, and you should use one if it fits. Custom work makes sense when your process spans several systems or needs judgment.
Does this work if we host Vantagepoint ourselves?
Usually, yes. The same authorization exists in cloud and self-hosted setups. We confirm your version and how the connection reaches your server before quoting.
What access do you need from us?
An authorization your administrator creates and a dedicated user with a limited role. You can turn either off at any time.
Are you a certified Deltek Vantagepoint partner?
No. We're an independent integration consultant and development team. We build with Deltek Vantagepoint's official developer tools and approved access, using the access your team grants, and we work alongside your Deltek Vantagepoint admin or implementation partner rather than replacing them.
