In its favor

Why people choose Deltek WorkBook

The signal that keeps Deltek WorkBook on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.

All-in-one agency ERP eliminating separate systems for project management, time tracking, resource planning, and finance — customers consolidate CRM, PM, and accounting into a single platform.

Implementation team provides hands-on onboarding and customisation, with documented go-lives as short as three weeks for mid-market agencies.

Built-in resource scheduling with worker skills, availability, and utilisation views helps agencies balance capacity against demand in real time.

Agency-specific pipeline management converts leads to projects with integrated budgeting, reducing handoff friction between sales and delivery teams.

Comprehensive finance stack — full AR/AP, multi-currency, inter-company transactions, and subscription billing — means billing errors decrease and profitability visibility improves.

Non-intuitive interface and steep learning curve create adoption friction, especially for non-technical team members unfamiliar with dense project-based ERP systems.

Limited custom reporting, particularly in the finance module, frustrates finance leads who need tailored financial statements and profitability views.

Regular users experience information overload due to the breadth of the platform — multiple modules, dashboards, and configuration options without guided workflows.

Occasional Danish words appearing in the English interface signal localisation inconsistencies that erode confidence in multi-language deployments.

Dashboards and the mobile expense app have been described as not production-ready by reviewers, leading teams to use workarounds for reporting and field expenses.

Platform scorecard

Strengths, weaknesses, and where Deltek WorkBook fits

Grades across six dimensions, plus a SWOT-style view of where the platform shines and where it falls short.

SWOT — strengths, weaknesses, and use-case fit

Strengths

Integrated project management, resource planning, and full financial accounting in a single platform.300+ built-in reports and configurable dashboards for agency performance visibility.Multi-company, multi-currency, and inter-company transaction support for complex agency structures.Mobile apps for iOS and Android with Kanban task view and time/expense entry on mobile.Resource scheduling with skills matching, availability, and utilisation tracking.

Weaknesses

Non-intuitive interface with steep learning curve and information overload for new users.Limited custom reporting, especially in the finance module — finance leads frequently use external BI tools.Dashboards and mobile expense app have been described as not production-ready by users.API has versioned endpoints with deprecation cycles that require integration maintenance.No public pricing — quotes are custom per organisation and require a sales call.

Where it works

Mid-to-large agencies (50+ employees) in advertising, marketing, PR, digital, or professional services that need a single source of truth across projects, people, and finance.Multi-entity firms operating across subsidiaries or inter-company structures requiring consolidated reporting, shared resources, and cross-company invoicing.Project-heavy service businesses with complex billing needs including multi-currency, subscription billing, and time-and-materials versus fixed-fee work on the same platform.Organisations with dedicated IT or operations staff who can manage API version deprecations, configuration settings, and the initial learning curve during onboarding.Agencies transitioning from fragmented tool stacks (separate CRM, PM, time tracking, and accounting systems) seeking a single relational database with project-level cost linking.

Where it struggles

Small agencies or boutique studios with fewer than 20 people who lack dedicated administrators and cannot absorb the steep learning curve or implementation investment.Finance teams requiring highly custom financial reporting or tailored profitability statements—reviews indicate finance leads frequently supplement with external BI tools.Field-based teams relying on the mobile expense app for mileage logging, receipt capture, and on-the-go approvals, as reviewers describe the mobile expense workflow as not production-ready.Organisations dependent on integrations with external systems that require stable, long-cycle API contracts—WorkBook's versioned endpoint deprecation cycles demand ongoing integration maintenance.Multilingual deployments beyond English, since reviewers report occasional Danish words appearing in the English interface, signalling localisation inconsistencies.

What gets migrated

Deltek WorkBook object support

Object-by-object support for Deltek WorkBook migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.

Projects

Fully supported

Projects are the primary container in WorkBook, linking Tasks, Resources, Time, and Finance. We migrate Projects 1:1 including status, dates, budget, and linked custom Dimensions. Project templates export as standard Projects and require re-linkage in the destination.

Tasks

Fully supported

Tasks support Kanban board and calendar views natively. We preserve task hierarchy, assignees, due dates, and status. Subtask relationships map as child Tasks with a parent reference. Custom task fields migrate as standard key-value pairs.

Pipeline Stages

Mapping required

Pipeline stages and CRM pipeline data use a stage-based model in WorkBook. Stage names, order, and win/loss probability percentages vary by organisation. We map each stage to an equivalent destination stage and flag any probability overrides for review.

CRM Contacts

Fully supported

Contacts in the CRM module are distinct from project stakeholders. We migrate Contacts including company linkage, lifecycle stage, and custom fields. Contact-to-Company associations must be preserved to maintain relationship data integrity.

CRM Companies

Fully supported

Companies/Accounts represent client organisations in the CRM. We migrate company records with industry, size, address, and linked Contact associations. Multi-company configurations in WorkBook require careful tenant-level scoping during migration.

Time Entries

Fully supported

Time entries link to Projects and Tasks with hourly rates, billing status, and date. We map billable vs non-billable flags and preserve the approved/pending status. Historical time entries carry audit context that we retain where the destination schema allows.

Expenses

Fully supported

Expenses include mileage, material, and personal expense categories with receipt attachments. We migrate expense records with project linkage, reimbursement status, and approval workflow flags. Receipt files are exported separately and re-attached in the destination.

Purchase Orders

Fully supported

Purchase Orders are tied to Projects and track vendor commitments. We migrate open and historical PO records including line items, amounts, and status. Closed POs migrate as read-only historical records.

Invoices / Accounts Receivable

Fully supported

Invoices are generated from time, expenses, and fixed fees against a Project. We migrate invoice records including line items, payment status, and age. AR balance ageing data is preserved as a snapshot at migration time.

Chart of Accounts

Mapping required

WorkBook's Chart of Accounts includes 21 built-in Dimensions and up to 10 custom Dimensions. Account codes, names, and dimension tags require field-level mapping to the destination's account structure. Inter-company and multi-currency settings must be explicitly carried over.

Resources / Workers

Fully supported

Workers represent team members with skills, availability calendars, and utilisation data. We migrate resource profiles including skill tags, capacity settings, and booking assignments. Active vs archived status determines whether a resource record is live or deactivated at destination.

Custom Fields / Dimensions

Mapping required

WorkBook supports 21 built-in Dimensions and up to 10 custom Dimensions per organisation. Custom field names, data types, and picklist values require manual mapping to destination custom fields. We flag any custom fields with no direct destination equivalent for customer resolution.

Attachments / Documents

Mapping required

Files saved to Projects, Tasks, or Companies export via WorkBook's file storage. We extract file metadata and binary content and re-attach to the corresponding destination record. Large file volumes may require chunked download and upload cycles.

System and Company Variables

Mapping required

System Variables and Company Variables control global settings, numbering sequences, and configuration flags. We export these as a structured settings bundle and flag any that reference deprecated or version-specific IDs for manual review before import.
