Migrate your iPlan data
Enterprise project management system for mid-to-large organizations with integrated portfolio tracking, resource scheduling, and workflow automation across project portfolios.
In its favor
Why people choose iPlan
The signal that keeps iPlan on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Integrated portfolio management covering requirements, problems, timesheets, and metrics in one platform reduces tool sprawl for complex project organizations.
Comprehensive transparency across project structures, employee schedules, and resource interdependencies gives executives a single view of program health.
Automated metrics reporting on earned value helps organizations identify schedule and budget variances without manual spreadsheet consolidation.
Pre-built editable project plan templates allow teams to accelerate planning cycles without starting from blank structures.
Comprehensive knowledge management and workflow automation reduce friction for teams managing multi-phase project delivery.
Enterprise pricing and licensing costs become prohibitive as organizations scale project count and team size.
Limited third-party integrations with popular development, design, and communication tools restricts ecosystem connectivity.
Complex administrative configuration requires dedicated IT resources to maintain and customize the platform effectively.
Infrequent interface updates and dated UX create friction for teams accustomed to modern SaaS design patterns.
Support response times and escalation processes frustrate organizations with critical production issues.

What gets migrated
iPlan object support
Object-by-object support for iPlan migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects are the primary container in iPlan and export cleanly with metadata including status, dates, budget, and owner assignments. We map the project-level hierarchy directly to destination Projects and preserve the parent-child portfolio structure.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks export with standard fields including name, description, start/end dates, status, priority, and assigned resources. Task-level custom fields are preserved as custom properties in the destination system.
Milestones
Fully supportedMilestones export with their target dates and association to parent Projects. We reconstruct the milestone timeline in the destination PM tool and flag any milestones with no linked tasks.
Subtasks
Mapping requiredSubtasks are exported as child Tasks in most destination platforms. Where the target PM tool does not support nested task hierarchies, we flatten subtasks into a flat task list with a parent-reference field.
Resources
Mapping requirediPlan Resources (employee database) export with name, role, and availability schedules. Resource calendars require transformation to match destination capacity planning formats.
Timesheets
Mapping requiredTimesheet records export with hours logged, date, project association, and task linkage. We map hours to the destination's time-tracking object and flag any timesheet entries with orphaned project references.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields on Projects, Tasks, and other objects require explicit field-type mapping. Dropdown, numeric, and text custom fields map with minimal transformation; formula and rollup fields are recreated as calculated fields in the destination where supported.
Workflows
Mapping requirediPlan workflow automation rules encode criteria and actions in a proprietary format. We extract the logic as conditional rules and map them to equivalent automation constructs in the destination PM tool, noting any unsupported action types.
Knowledge Base
Mapping requiredKnowledge articles export as structured content but lack consistent tagging taxonomy. We preserve article text, attach linked files, and map categories to destination folder or label structures.
Billing Records
Mapping requiredBilling and financial tracking data exports from iPlan but requires invoice and payment mapping to destination accounting or billing modules.
Reports and Analytics
Not in this platformiPlan report configurations and dashboards use proprietary visualization schemas that cannot be directly migrated. We export the underlying data so reports can be rebuilt in the destination platform.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments associated with Projects, Tasks, or Knowledge articles are extracted and uploaded to the destination system's document management area, preserving file names and upload timestamps.
Pipeline Stages
Not in this platformPipeline stages are an enterprise feature with limited export support. We capture the stage names and order from source metadata but do not migrate stage-specific automation rules.
