Support Best Practices and Standards
With Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management you can implement standards and best practices for consistency and compliance across your organisation.
Organisation-wide consistency
Deploy enterprise templates to standardise data and reporting across your project portfolio. Define consistent properties for resources and projects, so you can fairly evaluate and compare costs, performance and utilisation rates across your organisation.
Customisable Project Guide
The Project Guide is a built-in, interactive, step-by-step aid that walks you through the project management process. You can customise the tool to promote your own project management methodologies for organisation-wide compliance and consistency.
Collaborate and Track Progress
Empower project teams to view, share and update project information and progress via the web or from Microsoft Outlook.
Flexible Information Access
Let partners, executives and team members view and interact with role-specific project data through Microsoft Office Project Web Access - the web portal in the Enterprise Project Management Solution - just by using a browser. Automatically send updates through email. Or integrate Project Server Web Parts into a dashboard to look at with other information for a complete view of your business.
Outlook Integration
Enable team members to view and report progress on tasks from their Outlook Calendar. Team members can easily keep track of project tasks alongside other Outlook appointments and provide project managers with updates for accurate reporting.
Centralised Document Management
Enhance knowledge sharing and improve the quality of project deliverables. The integration of Project Server with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services enables teams to centrally manage and track project-related documents. Windows SharePoint Services requires Windows Server 2003.
Manage Resources
Get accurate information about resource utilisation and skills across your organisation.
Centralised Resource Management
Manage resources effectively across your organisation using a central enterprise resource pool. Evaluate resource workload across projects with the help of resource availability graphs.
Resource Optimisation
Assemble the best team for each project using powerful resource management tools that facilitate the staffing and assignment of resources to tasks considering resource skills, availability and more.
Resource Planning
Use the new proposed booking feature to plan ahead by tracking potential resource assignments for projects in the proposal phase.
Analyse and Report
Support better analysis and decision-making with powerful portfolio management, reporting and modelling capabilities.
Project Portfolio Views
Use the roll-up portfolio view of projects in the Project Centre to monitor key performance metrics and quickly identify projects that are behind schedule or over budget.
Relevant and Timely Analysis
Gain insight into projects with the Portfolio Analyser, a flexible analysis tool that allows you to interact with real-time project and resource data to identify trends and problem areas throughout your portfolio.
What-if Scenarios
Evaluate options for addressing at-risk projects. The Portfolio Modeller tool enables you to model the impact of changes to schedules and resource assignments across your portfolio so that you can prioritise work effectively.
Business Integration
Get the most out of your investments in line-of-business systems for a complete view of your business activities. Integrate the Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management Solution with your existing business processes and applications and databases using industry standards like XML and SOAP.
