  February Feature Spotlight: Project Server Integration

The Microsoft Corporation has extended the capabilities of Microsoft Project and Windows SharePoint Services with Project Server 2007 and Proejct Web Access. Microsoft Project Server stores your company's project information in a central database, protected from unauthorized access and corruption. What this allows is project management and execution in a truly collaborative environment. Project Managers can delegate and manage the tasks; Project Administrators maintain security defining users and access rights; and user execute on their assigned tasks and update their progress through the use of Microsoft's familiar productivity tools.

The Project Center, a feature within Project Server, is an invaluable tool that supports reports across an organization at the project level. Through it, managers can drill down into project details, while the project stakeholders can obtain snapshot views of project health, resource allocation, project risks, and budget.

Integration with the Microsoft Office System is key with the Microsoft EPM solution.  This integration keeps the learning curve to new EPM tools at a minimum.  What's provided is an increased return on investment on tools you already own like Microsoft Project, Excel, Outlook, Visio, and SharePoint Technologies. 
 
Here are some of the many benefits to using Microsoft's integrated EPM Solution: 

 § Budget tracking and cost resources provide better financial insight and tracking.
 § The reporting data services permits easy user reporting with common business
          reporting tools such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.       
 § For simple task tracking, use the new Project Task list in Microsoft Windows 
          SharePoint Services technology then import into Office Project Web Access.
 § Project Web Access and project workspaces enable your team to collaborate
          over the web.
 § Use familiar tools such as Outlook for entering progress or Excel and Visio for
          creating dynamic ports.
 § Get information about high level resource allocation for proposed projects
          with resource plans.
 § Programs enable easy management of multiple sub projects and their 
          cross-project dependencies in a coordinated fashion.
 § Assign and track tasks across all projects with resources updating their 
          tasks via timesheet, project center, or Outlook tasks.
