Modernized Communication and Smarter Collaboration: What’s New in Deltek PIM

In today’s fast-paced project environments, staying connected, organized, and efficient isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. That’s why the latest Deltek PIM release delivers powerful updates that help teams communicate better, reduce admin time, and keep projects moving forward.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new:

Modernize Your Email Experience with the New PIM for Outlook Add-In

With the latest Deltek PIM release, teams now have the flexibility to modernize their email workflows with the new PIM for Outlook add-in, built for Microsoft’s evolving Outlook for Windows platform. This new experience offers a refreshed interface and seamless integration with Deltek PIM—ideal for teams ready to adopt the latest Microsoft tools.

But here’s the best part: if your team prefers to stick with Classic Outlook, nothing changes. The traditional Deltek PIM add-in continues to be fully supported, so you can transition on your own timeline without losing any functionality.

• Choose when (or if) to adopt the new Outlook experience
• Enjoy full PIM email management support either way
• Admins can configure based on team readiness
• Original Outlook add-in remains available for on-prem Exchange users

This flexibility ensures that no matter where your team is in its Microsoft journey, Deltek PIM keeps your email workflows running smoothly.

Modern or Classic Outlook? PIM works seamlessly with both.

Microsoft Teams Integration Just Got Smarter

The last release introduced a Microsoft Teams integration, allowing project teams to start Teams conversations around published Deltek PIM documents. This release includes enhancements to that integration, helping teams avoid miscommunication, reducing rework, and keeping project conversations clear and actionable.

• Improved conversation formatting makes it easier to follow project discussions.
• A brand-new Teams Conversations dashpart within Deltek PIM helps teams track and manage PIM-linked Teams conversations in one place.
• You can now unlink documents from a Teams conversation directly from Deltek PIM. If all files are removed, the PIM share is deleted while the Teams post remains.

Track, manage, and clean up Teams conversations right from Deltek PIM.

User-Requested and Other General Enhancements

The latest Deltek PIM release includes several behind-the-scenes upgrades that streamline workflows and respond directly to customer feedback via the Deltek Idea Portal:

• Smarter Email Publishing: MSG files now match EML functionality in Universal Document Control (UDC) Bulk Publish and Local File Management. That means easier mass importing and automatic extraction of “to/from” attributes—saving time and improving accuracy when linking emails to contacts and projects.
• Improved ‘My Snags’ Button: Enhancements to this feature make it easier to track and manage field issues directly within Deltek PIM.
• Learning Made Easier: The Deltek Learning Zone now redirects users to the new Deltek Learning Hub for a more modern, centralized training experience.

These updates may seem small, but they’re designed to reduce friction, eliminate manual steps, and help teams stay focused on delivering great work.
