Everything You Wanted to Know About the Blackbox Connector for HRIS + Deltek (But Were Afraid to Ask)

Connecting your HR systems to Deltek doesn’t have to be complicated — or manual. Our Blackbox Connector for Deltek Vantagepoint bridges your Human Capital Management (HCM) and HR Information Systems (HRIS) with your ERP, automating employee data, PTO balances, and more between platforms like Paylocity, ADP, Paycom, and others.
During our webinar, How to Successfully Integrate Your HCM and HRIS Systems with Deltek, we fielded tons of great questions from firms eager to make their HR data flow seamlessly. Below, we’re sharing the most common questions — and our expert answers — to help you better understand how the Blackbox Connector can simplify your world.
Q: Is a Deltek Ajera integration available?
A: Not today, but we’re ready when you are.
The Blackbox Connector is production-ready for Deltek Vision and Deltek Vantagepoint. However, since Ajera includes API endpoints for employee data, similar functionality is absolutely possible.
We often partner with clients who want to pioneer new builds — you bring your requirements, we bring our integration expertise (and a head start with our existing codebase).

Q: How do you manage real-time employee data in Paylocity?
A: The Blackbox Connector’s got it handled.
Paylocity’s webhooks don’t catch every change, so our Connector treats them as “change alerts.” When triggered, it immediately fetches the full, authoritative employee record via API. This ensures your data is always accurate — even for fields not included in the webhook.
You can also configure on-demand or scheduled syncs, so your HR and Deltek data are always in lockstep.
Q: Can PTO balances live in the HRIS and still flow into Vantagepoint?
A: Absolutely.
The Blackbox Connector automatically pulls PTO balances from your HRIS and updates them in Deltek Vantagepoint for each employee. That means team members can still request PTO in Vantagepoint, and those requests will show up accurately in resource planning.
No more double-entry or outdated balances — just clean, synced data.
Q: How does the “on-demand full sync” work?
A: You’ll love this one — it happens right inside Vantagepoint.
The Connector adds a workflow button directly in Deltek, allowing you to trigger a sync for one employee or everyone at once. Easy, flexible, and totally under your control.
Q: We use Paycom. Can you integrate with that?
A: We sure can — with your help!
We’ve already solved 50% of the equation on the Deltek side. To build out Paycom support, we’d need a partner client to collaborate with us on specs and testing. Once it’s done, Paycom becomes part of the growing Blackbox Connector HRIS family.
Q: Which payroll systems are on your roadmap?
A: Paylocity, ADP, Paycom, and Paycor are all in the mix.
We expand based on client demand — and love collaborating with firms that want to shape what’s next.
Q: Can data flow from Vantagepoint to my HRIS?
A: Yes!
The Blackbox Connector pushes critical fields like the Deltek Employee Number and Company assignment (for multi-company setups) back into Paylocity or other HRIS platforms. This helps ensure both systems stay aligned — and your HR and accounting teams stay sane.
Q: What tech stack powers the Blackbox Connector?
A: A little secret sauce, a lot of automation.
It’s not Zapier, N8N, or PowerShell (though those tools wish they could keep up). The Blackbox Connector uses proprietary integration layers and serverless technology — plus more caffeine than we care to admit — to securely and efficiently connect your systems.
Q: What if my HRIS doesn’t have open APIs?
A: We’ve got options.
APIs are our first choice, but when they’re not available, we can securely process delimited data files (like CSVs) from SFTP sites. Everything runs on our in-house iPaaS for full control and peace of mind.
Q: Does the Blackbox Connector support multi-company updates?
A: It does — beautifully.
The Connector leverages Deltek’s native multi-company functionality, automatically creating new EMCompany rows via API calls to reflect company changes. No manual terminations or rehires required.
Let’s Get Your Systems Talking
