Case 01 — Architecture & Engineering

Upgrade-safe Maconomy extensions for a European AEC group

Challenge
A multi-office architecture and engineering group had accumulated years of in-house Maconomy customisations built outside Deltek's supported extension points. Every upgrade required weeks of rework, and the finance team had stopped trusting the customised reports.
Approach
We audited every existing customisation, rebuilt the critical ones as supported workspace clients and Extender scripts, and introduced a versioned deployment process with regression tests. Custom reports were moved to a dedicated reporting layer that read from Maconomy through the API.
Outcome
Maconomy upgrade cycles dropped from weeks to a single weekend. The finance team regained confidence in project-level reporting, and the client has rolled forward through two subsequent Maconomy releases with zero customisation-related regressions.

Case 02 — Management Consulting

A custom delivery platform that replaced five spreadsheets

Challenge
A mid-size management-consulting practice was running engagement planning, staffing, status reporting and margin tracking across a tangle of Excel files and email threads. Onboarding a new partner took weeks, and monthly margin reporting was always late.
Approach
We designed and built a custom delivery platform in .NET and TypeScript, hosted on Azure. The platform consolidated engagement records, staffing, timesheets and margin views into a single application and read master data from Maconomy through a lightweight integration layer.
Outcome
Monthly margin reporting moved from day 15 of the following month to day 3. Partner onboarding dropped to a day. The five legacy spreadsheets were retired.

Case 03 — Professional Services

Maconomy ⇄ CRM ⇄ BI integration for a global advisory firm

Challenge
A global advisory firm operated separate teams on CRM, Maconomy and a BI platform, with no reliable synchronisation between them. Sales was quoting deals that finance later had to reshape; leadership could not see a single picture of pipeline versus delivery.
Approach
We built an event-driven integration layer that brokers data between CRM, Maconomy and the BI warehouse. Each flow is idempotent, monitored and auditable, with retries and dead-letter handling to keep finance's source of truth intact.
Outcome
One consolidated pipeline-to-delivery view for leadership, and a noticeable drop in finance rework on newly-won deals. The integration layer has since absorbed two additional downstream systems with no rewrite.
