Migrate your CAMMS data
CAMMS is an enterprise project and performance management platform with modules for planning, risk, budgeting, and workforce. It targets large organisations in government and regulated sectors who need structured project governance at scale.
In its favor
Why people choose CAMMS
The signal that keeps CAMMS on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Award-winning functionality recognised by Capterra — CAMMS.Project won Best Functionality in 2017 against 580 project management competitors, attracting organisations that prioritise depth of features over breadth of integrations.
End-to-end project governance — CAMMS covers the full project lifecycle from planning and budgeting through risk management and stakeholder reporting in a single structured platform, reducing the need for multiple tools.
Regulated-sector readiness — government and public-sector organisations in the UK, Ireland, and Australia have used CAMMS for compliance-heavy project portfolios where structured audit trails are mandatory.
Customisable workflows and approval chains — CAMMS allows organisations to define their own stage gates, escalation paths, and sign-off workflows, making it adaptable to varied governance frameworks.
Centralised reporting and analytics — the platform consolidates project status, budget variance, and risk exposure into management dashboards, giving executives a single view across the portfolio.
No public API for bulk data export — CAMMS lacks a documented REST or GraphQL API, making automated migration difficult and forcing customers to export data manually through the UI or request database exports from their IT team.
Outdated user interface — several long-term users describe the CAMMS UI as dated and unintuitive, particularly in the project management and reporting modules, which increases training time for new staff.
Slow performance at scale — organisations with large portfolios report that CAMMS becomes sluggish when handling hundreds of concurrent projects, especially in browser-based sessions.
Complex licensing and deployment overhead — enterprise pricing combined with on-premise deployment requirements create a high total cost of ownership that prompts migration to cloud-native alternatives.
Limited integration ecosystem — CAMMS does not offer native connectors for popular tools like Jira, Monday.com, or Slack, forcing teams to work around gaps that cloud-native PM platforms handle out of the box.

Pricing tiers
CAMMS pricing overview
Camms uses bespoke per-customer pricing rather than a public rate card. Annual subscription fees depend on the modules selected (Risk, Compliance, Audit, Policy, Strategy, Project, ESG) and the number of named users, with the full bundle typically including updates, upgrades, technical support, and hosting. There is no free tier and no published self-serve pricing on cammsgroup.com.
Custom (sales-led)

What gets migrated
CAMMS object support
Object-by-object support for CAMMS migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Mapping requiredProjects in CAMMS are the top-level containers. We extract full project hierarchies including sub-projects and carry over project status, owner, dates, and cost centres. Custom project properties require explicit field mapping against the destination schema.
Tasks
Mapping requiredTasks belong to projects and carry status, assignees, start/end dates, and effort estimates. We map task structures preserving parent-child relationships. Task-level attachments require separate file-handling and may need manual re-linkage in the destination.
Risks
Mapping requiredRisks are linked to Projects and contain likelihood, impact, owner, and mitigation plans. We extract the full risk register and map risk scores to the destination's risk model, noting that CAMMS uses its own severity and probability scales.
Issues
Mapping requiredIssues are related but distinct from Risks in CAMMS. We extract issues with their status workflow, priority, and linked project context. Issue-to-risk associations require explicit cross-object mapping during migration.
Budgets
Mapping requiredBudget entries in CAMMS track planned cost against actuals per project or work package. We export budget lines including cost codes, periods, and variances. Currency formatting and cost code schemas vary between deployments and must be normalised.
Meetings
Mapping requiredMeeting records contain agenda items, attendees, and minutes. We extract meeting content and link them back to the originating project. Meeting attachments (documents, PDFs) are extracted as files and re-linked in the destination.
Documents
Mapping requiredDocuments attached to projects, tasks, or risks are stored in CAMMS's document management layer. We export files in their original format and recreate folder structures in the target system, preserving version history where the destination supports it.
Users and Resources
Mapping requiredUser accounts, resource allocations, and utilisation data are extracted from CAMMS workforce modules. Role-based access assignments require mapping to the destination's permission model. Inactive users can be flagged for exclusion during import scoping.
Custom Fields
Not in this platformCustom fields defined by individual CAMMS deployments are not governed by a stable schema and have no documented export mechanism. We do not migrate custom fields automatically; we flag them for manual review and advise customers to document their custom field requirements before migration scoping.
