Project Server 2007 Deployment & Installation

Our expertise covers all aspects of installation and configuration to ensure your solution is setup to meet your needs. The consulting page discusses the wider implications of deploying Enterprise Project Managemetn with Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 but here we focus on our technical deployment capabilities and approach. Every installation is broken down into four key phases as defined by our Deployment Roadmap

Microsoft Office Project Server can be provided as a hosted solution, removing much of the complexity for clients who prefer to take this approach.

Implementation Checklist & Technical Pre-requisites

Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 requires Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Your current software and hardware configuration will be assessed to ensure it meets the requirements for Microsoft Office Project Server 2007. Users looking to create and update project plans will require Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007.

The implementation checklist will look beyond the technical requirements and focus on assessing business readiness.

Installation

Installation itself usually takes 1 day (single server example) and should be supported by internal technical staff.

Configuration

Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 is highly configurable to meet the needs of each organisation. Establishing resource pools, standard reporting requirements, remote access, additional project codes and links with external systems can all be established at this phase. Linking with SharePoint provides additional benefits for those looking for an effective way to manage project documents and setup an online project space.

Testing / Pilot

The roll-out should be preceeded by a pilot phase, taking a defined set of projects and working them through the system and defined processes.
