Architecture, engineering, environmental, and professional services firms with 20–500+ employees evaluating, implementing, migrating, or optimizing Deltek Vantagepoint.
Project-based or retained engagement scoped to the specific phase — evaluation, implementation, migration, optimization, or ongoing managed support. Timelines vary from 8-week focused upgrades to 9-month full implementations.
Deltek Vantagepoint · Deltek Vision (migration path) · Deltek Vantagepoint Cloud (AWS)
Full Vantagepoint implementation for firms adopting a purpose-built ERP for the first time. Covers evaluation, configuration, data migration, integration, training, and go-live support. Typical timelines range from 4–9 months depending on firm size, module scope, and data complexity.
Structured migration from Deltek Vision to Vantagepoint — including data migration, workflow redesign, user retraining, and configuration optimization. Three engagement levels (Supported, Assisted, Directed) scaled to the firm's internal readiness and complexity.
For firms already running Vantagepoint but underutilizing its capabilities. Assessment of current configuration, identification of gaps, and reconfiguration of modules to deliver the operational and financial value the platform is designed to provide.
Ongoing retained support for system administration, configuration changes, troubleshooting, and strategic advisory. The platform evolves alongside the business — ensuring the system keeps pace with growth, acquisitions, and changing operational requirements.
Project-based firms operate differently from product companies or general service businesses. Revenue is recognized over time. Profitability is measured at the project level. Resource planning drives both delivery quality and financial performance. Billing is complex — multiplier-based, cost-plus, lump sum, time and materials — and often varies across clients and contract types within the same firm.
Generic ERP systems don't accommodate this. They force project-based firms into workflows designed for manufacturing or retail, creating workarounds that compound over time. Spreadsheets return. Reporting fragments. Leadership loses visibility into the metrics that actually drive the business.
Deltek Vantagepoint is purpose-built for this operating model. It connects project management, resource planning, financial management, CRM, and business intelligence in a single platform — designed specifically for architecture, engineering, consulting, and professional services organizations. More than 30,000 organizations worldwide rely on Deltek to run their project-based operations.
Rhodium Digital has been implementing, migrating, and optimizing Vantagepoint (and its predecessor, Deltek Vision) since 2007. As a Deltek Platinum Partner and Rising Star Americas Partner of the Year, the team brings direct experience across hundreds of engagements — from 20-person engineering firms to multi-office, multi-entity organizations managing complex project portfolios.
Project Management & Command Center — 360-degree visibility into every project from planning and budgeting through resource allocation, execution, and closeout. The project command center consolidates schedule, budget, scope, and team data in one view — surfacing potential issues before they affect delivery or margin.
Financial Management — Project accounting, revenue recognition, percentage-of-completion, accounts payable and receivable, general ledger, and cash management configured for how project-based firms actually operate. Interactive billing tools accelerate invoicing and reduce cycle-to-cash timelines.
Resource Planning — Identify the right people for each project based on skills, availability, and utilization targets. Build profitable project plans with actual resources, optimize allocation across the portfolio, and gain visibility into future capacity needs before staffing gaps become delivery problems.
Time & Expense Capture — Capture time and expenses on any device with workflows that reduce friction and improve compliance. Accurate time capture is the foundation of project profitability — firms using Vantagepoint consistently recover billable hours that were previously lost to manual processes or delayed entry.
CRM & Business Development — Pursuit tracking, pipeline management, client relationship history, and go/no-go analysis integrated with project delivery data. Vantagepoint CRM is project-centric by design — connecting business development directly to how work is delivered and how clients are served.
Business Intelligence & Dashboards — Role-based dashboards and configurable reporting that give leadership, project managers, and finance teams the specific views they need. No generic reports. No manual data pulls. Visibility structured around the metrics that drive decisions.
Cloud Deployment — Vantagepoint in Deltek's Cloud, powered by AWS, eliminates on-premise infrastructure costs and maintenance. Automatic updates ensure the platform is always current. Daily backups replicated across multiple locations protect against data loss. Intrusion detection, data encryption, and SSL transmission provide enterprise-grade security without the internal IT overhead.
Evaluate — Not every firm needs the same platform, and not every firm is ready for a full implementation. Rhodium Digital begins with a structured assessment of current systems, operational processes, organizational requirements, and growth trajectory. If Vantagepoint is the right fit, the implementation is scoped to deliver maximum value against the firm's actual priorities — not a generic module checklist.
Implement — Chart of accounts, project structures, billing formats, approval workflows, security roles, and reporting hierarchies configured to match how the organization operates. Data migration from legacy systems — including Deltek Vision, Ajera, BST, and spreadsheet-based environments — with validation protocols that ensure accuracy before go-live. Role-based training designed for how each team interacts with the system.
Migrate — For firms running Deltek Vision, the transition to Vantagepoint is a structured migration, not a rip-and-replace. Vantagepoint is the reimagined next generation of Vision — built on the same data foundation with a modern browser-based interface, reengineered workflows, and expanded functionality. Rhodium's migration engagements cover data migration, workflow redesign, user retraining, and configuration optimization. Three engagement tiers — Supported, Assisted, and Directed — accommodate firms at different levels of internal readiness.
Optimize — Many firms running Vantagepoint are underutilizing the platform. Modules sit unconfigured. Reporting doesn't reflect current business needs. Workflows haven't been updated since go-live. Rhodium's optimization engagements assess current configuration, identify gaps, and reconfigure the system to deliver the value the original implementation didn't — or that the business has outgrown.
Support — Retained engagement for ongoing advisory, troubleshooting, configuration changes, and system administration. The platform evolves as the business does — new projects, new offices, new reporting requirements, acquisitions, and organizational change all place demands on the system that require experienced support.
