Microsoft SharePoint 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.
