Effective project and portfolio management depends on having accurate, trusted workforce data. For organisations using ELMO Cloud HR & Payroll, Altus provides a Microsoft‑native PPM platform that can integrate with HR and payroll systems to support better resource planning, forecasting, and delivery oversight.
Altus is designed to integrate with line‑of‑business systems, including HR and payroll platforms, so organisations can align project delivery with real workforce capacity and availability.
Key Capabilities
Line‑of‑business system integration
Altus supports integration with enterprise systems beyond project tools, including HR and payroll platforms. This allows workforce data from systems like ELMO to be referenced in project and resource management processes.
Improved resource planning and forecasting
By aligning project resource demand in Altus with workforce data held in HR systems, organisations gain more accurate views of capacity, utilisation, and future staffing needs.
Single source of truth for delivery data
Altus aggregates project, portfolio, and resource information into Dataverse, providing a consistent data foundation that can be connected to systems such as HR and payroll for reporting and analysis.
Microsoft Power Platform foundation
Built on the Microsoft Power Platform, Altus enables flexible integration patterns using Power Automate, APIs, and configuration options, supporting alignment between Altus and HR systems like ELMO without custom point solutions.
Enterprise reporting and insights
With data consolidated in Dataverse, Altus supports Power BI reporting across projects, resources, and workforce‑related metrics, helping leaders make informed decisions based on consistent information.
For many organisations, workforce data lives in HR systems while project demand lives elsewhere. This disconnect makes it difficult to plan realistically, forecast demand, or understand delivery risk.
By integrating Altus with HR and payroll systems such as ELMO Cloud HR & Payroll, organisations can:
- Align project demand with real workforce capacity
- Improve accuracy of resource plans and forecasts
- Reduce manual data reconciliation across systems
- Support workforce‑aware portfolio decisions
- Strengthen reporting and governance confidence
Altus provides the PPM layer that brings project delivery and workforce data together inside a secure Microsoft 365 environment.
