Our clients run the full range of project management maturity, and they are in different maturity levels in their experience with Microsoft's Enterprise Project Management tools like Microsoft Project, Excel, SharePoint Services, and Project Server, and they are often implementing Microsoft Project Sever to reach quite different organizational goals.

Maturity Assessment

(If you are interested is our maturity assessment please contact us)

Initially, we always help a client determine their functional maturity so that they can set obtainable implementation goals, and select the Enterprise Project Management feature set that would be most useful for their organization.

PSSI's Project Server Implementation model

Our EPM Implementation approach or model consists of the following five phases:

• Planning and Analysis

• Software Installation & Testing

• EPM Configuration & Testing

• Custom Enhancements

• PM & EPM Role Based Training

• Go Live

These phases cross three client objectives or phases:

• Phase I - Pilot/Prove Solution

• Phase II - Implement Single Dept/Division

• Phase III - Implement Next Business Area

Typically we begin working with a client at Phase I. However, we can begin working with a client at any one of these phases and it is not unusual for an organization to ask us to begin working with them in Phase II or III after they have completed Phase I on their own or with another Microsoft partner.
