What Does Integrating Deltek Cobra and Microsoft Project Mean?

Posted by Pinnacle Management Systems, Inc. on Monday, November 19, 2012

Pinnacle has integrated Deltek Cobra and MS Project or MS Project Server for many US Government Agencies and Suppliers.

There definitely is a need to understand how Deltek Cobra and MS Project integrate technically, but often the real challenge is building a solid WBS, Integrated Master Schedule, Control Accounts and tying these to Costs. Pinnacle clients often reach out to us because of our deep expertise in the tools that make up an EVMS. In some cases the work truly is about integration, Cobra technical issues or simplifying the Cobra MS Project operating process. But, in most cases, especially for companies new to EVM, there is a more fundamental requirement.

Often challenges faced by companies are building (or refining) WBS’s, Schedules, Control Accounts and Costs. This is essential to implementing a sustainable and successful Earned Value Management System.  

These EVM artifacts need to be built properly to satisfy your client’s expectations and to make the Deltek Cobra and MS Project integration possible. Integrating Deltek Cobra with your financial systems is very similar. In this case you’ll need to line up your timesheet and cost accounting information with your Control Accounts.

All of this should really be considered part of the integration of Cobra and MS Project.
