When vetting PPM solutions, evaluation committees will assess competing products from a business perspective, but also through an IT lens. PPM solutions must score well in both categories to be successful, by ensuring that a product’s functionality meets business requirements, and that it aligns with the organization’s IT requirements and enterprise architecture strategy.
The Microsoft® Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solution provides a scalable, connected, and extensible platform that has the flexibility to meet most business requirements and align with the organization’s enterprise architecture standards. With the familiar Microsoft® SharePoint® user interface in Microsoft® Project Server 2010 and the Ribbon interface in Microsoft® Project Professional 2010, it is even easier for users to get started, reducing training requirements, and driving adoption and satisfaction. The EPM solution connects with related Microsoft technologies to provide a familiar and unified work management platform, ensuring that organizations gain additional value from their Microsoft platform investments.
Microsoft® Project Server 2010 simplifies administration through an improved console that provides one-stop-shopping for both project and portfolio management capabilities. Improved administration helps to ensure that project management offices (PMOs) can spend less time managing the system and instead focus on monitoring the project and portfolio management (PPM) process. The enhanced Project Server 2010 application programming interface (API), Project Server Interface (PSI), and connection with Microsoft® SharePoint® Server 2010 and Visual Studio® 2010 provide developers with the required tools and resources to integrate with third-party systems and successfully build and deploy custom solutions. The EPM Solution builds on the scalability and performance improvements of Project 2007 to continue to meet the needs of large, distributed organizations.
