Integrations

You can do the standard file-based integration and other integration capabilities approved by Deltek.

The preferred integration method for all Deltek Cloud Solutions is through the Maconomy API. In cases where the API cannot handle the volume or scenario, each solution has standard file-based integrations or has the capability for customers and services to build their own file-based integration. In those scenarios, the following protocols are supported for transport of files to a place that the application can operate on files:
  • Primary Method: The customer provides Deltek with access to an Amazon Web Services S3 location where the customer places files for Deltek to pull into the Deltek AWS infrastructure.
  • Secondary Method: The customer provides Deltek with access to a customer maintained secure FTP (S-FTP) site where Deltek can pull files from the customer into the Deltek AWS infrastructure.

Deltek currently does not support customers pushing files into the Deltek AWS infrastructure for security reasons. In order to ensure customers are protected, pulling files into a guaranteed location where they can be scanned and assessed from a security perspective is the supported approach. Customers or their consulting advocates are not allowed to circumvent the supported methods above by creating extensions that would allow for files to directly be imported into the Deltek Cloud for any applications.

Deltek currently does not support a direct connection for pulling or pushing files to a 3rd party vendor that Deltek is not contracted to directly. The supported method in this scenario is to have the customer interface with third parties and then provide a secure location, as mentioned above.

The following integration capabilities are available with the Enterprise Cloud standard offering:
  • Maconomy RESTful API *recommended approach
  • SOAP
  • Standard Maconomy Import Programs
  • Business Objects Query as a Web Service
  • ODBC read-only access (add-on required)

Other integration capabilities may be available based on Deltek review and approval of detailed technical requirements.

Examples include:
  • File-based integrations
  • Secure FTP, Deltek push/pull; direct from the customer
  • S3 Bucket (customer-owned); Deltek push/pull
Examples of integration types NOT supported:
  • ODBC write or update
  • Direct SQL bulk data loads
  • Secure FTP from 3rd party; Customer push/pull
Warning: If you have any planned integrations which use any method not mentioned in this section, a Design Document must be submitted to the Deltek Cloud team for approval. Design Documents can be submitted using a Support Case with Subject “Integration Design Document for DCO Review.”
The Design Document must contain the following information:
  • Name of integration.
  • How is it installed and configured.
  • Exactly what is installed e.g. a list of files, what executables, etc.
  • What communication protocols are required e.g. outbound https/443.
  • Any additional information that may be useful to know.
