Top Reasons to Choose Microsoft Project Server 2010 Over Other PPM Solutions

December 31st, 2010


There are a variety of PPM / EPM solutions out there which all aim to provide Enterprise Project & Portfolio Management, however this article focuses on the newly released Microsoft Project Server 2010 and the Top 5 reasons why it has to be the number 1 choice for any organization!

Reason 1: It was developed by Microsoft

Microsoft spend a small fortune on R&D, $9.5b to be exact (2010), that probably explains why they have been ahead in the software game for such a long time. Now I’m not saying that that amount is spent entirely on Project Server, but they do spend substantially on other solutions which integrate with Project Server and in the instance provide the basis for it, i.e. SharePoint as well as Windows Server, SQL Server and the whole Office Suite and they are spending an unrivalled amount on cloud computing which is where technology is headed.

With that kind of investment and the fact that Project Server is now a mature solution, your organization can rest assured that they are investing in a stable and proven solution. In fact Microsoft have invested massively in ensuring that this latest version of Project Server is bug free from the outset, not only have Microsoft invested heavily of their own resources but a huge worldwide community has been engaged in the Beta test programme to ensure a reliable and problem free product from the get go. It is unlikely that competing products can match the investment or number of Beta testers that Project Server 2010 has enjoyed.

A final fact on this, Microsoft technology is so widely used & accepted that even a large number of competitor PPM solutions utilize Microsoft technology in the background!

Reason 2: Microsoft Licensing & Deployment Costs

A large number of organizations will already have Microsoft license agreements in place which result in competitive pricing compared to standalone PPM solutions i.e. Planview. So whilst it may not be the cheapest, it’s certainly not the most expensive and remember you’re not just buying software, you’re buying in to a solution that is widely used and very well supported too which will reduce the cost for deployment & ongoing support.

Reason 3: Microsoft Office Integration & Usability

The use of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and on and on) is again unrivalled, walk in to any office the chances are they are typing away on Word / Outlook, crunching numbers on Excel or preparing presentations on PowerPoint – Project Server 2010 integrates seamlessly with all of them and comes with a familiar user interface which will result in less spend on training on a standalone or bespoke package.

Reason 4: Support & Community

MS Project & Project Server users form the basis of a very large user community that is well supported by Microsoft and a large number of Microsoft Certified Partners, search online now and you will find that support is very easy to find through partners, online forums and community boards. Do the same with a niche solution and you’ll find there’s very little support from a ‘community’ you will often be heading straight back to the vendor or a very small partner community. This increases the price for support & maintenance and your reliance on the supplier.

Reason 5: SharePoint 2010

Project Server 2010 is built on SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. Does SharePoint need an introduction? It provides a platform on which organizations can build powerful content management and collaboration systems. Business intelligence, enterprise search and a plethora of other concepts and features are supported by the tool. If you have not already adopted SharePoint be assured that you will be using it before too long.
