Custom Development

We provide a wide range of custom solutions to help you integrate your Microsoft EPM platform with other systems in your enterprise. We specifically target automation around system inputs and outputs. Our most popular customizations include HR system integration for Resource Pool management, Financial System integration for cost and billing applications, and digital dashboards, reports and SharePoint custom site templates for better information distribution.

HR Data Integration

Current and relevant human resource data is among the most precious for enabling accurate resource reporting through your EPM system. For many organizations, this data is constantly changing and often elusive. Finding the right person in the organization to manually maintain resource data often seems impossible as well; talk about a hot potato! We've recognized and focused on this universal requirement by developing a suite of back-end interfaces for updating HR data into Project Server's resource taxonomies that can accept data from any authority.

HR system integration eliminates the cumbersome task of capturing new hires, transfers and promotions by integrating this data from HR systems where the data is first captured, and synchronizing those changes with the EPM system. Our back-end functionality includes capturing changes to the underlying RBS and other custom outline code hierarchies and updating the code value structures along with resource data. Starting each EPM business day with an up-to-date resource pool is the human equivalent to beginning each day with a healthy breakfast.

Financial Systems Articulation

Whether you want to retrieve cost data from your ERP system to help your Project Managers control project budgets and costs or you need to push work data back to your ERP system to drive payroll or billing applications, we can help you streamline the data interchange process and make sense of the foreign data once it's in Project Server. Like managing tasks, there's always multiple approaches to solving problems with Project and Project Server. Our goal is to help you get the most from your integration efforts with the least amount of effort and cost.

Knowledge Transfer

Once your EPM system starts producing the performance feedback you're hoping will allow you to better control your process, you still face the challenge of delivering it into the hands of managers and team members in a way that's both relevant and easy to access. While Project and Project Server do a great job of delivering this data in formats familiar to professional project managers, delivering feedback to management and stakeholders often requires finesse slightly beyond the native formats and capabilities in the application interface. Fortunately, Microsoft provides a robust set of tools to enhance these capabilities. Executive dashboards with summary data, customized SharePoint project sites that deliver more than just out-of-the-box information and automated web-based reports that enable users with self-service push and pull reporting are all popular enhancements we regularly develop for our customers.
