Microsoft Project Pilot Project Once an organization has planned its movement to enterprise project management and has decided on using Microsoft Project and Project Server, a key element to the deployment strategy is a Pilot Project. A Microsoft epm Solution Pilot Project includes installing Microsoft Project and Project Server for a sub-set of the organization and a sub-set of the total project list.

Our view of a Pilot project is that it is not a Proof of Concept but that it should be part of the earliest wave of deployment so that concepts planned during the design of the epm environment can be tested on production data and fine-tuned as required. This is the first live test of the epm strategy and, while the commitment may have already been made to move to the Microsoft epm Solution, the final configuration of what that solution will deliver may not have been determined yet.

HMS can assist you in a guided Pilot Project to move forward with your implementation of the Microsoft epm Solution including Microsoft Project and Project Server. Our technical staff will install the necessary software and then guide you through initial configuration and training so that this critical early phase of deployment goes smoothly. Since each organization is different and has different objectives, please contact us to so we can discuss how much effort this project will take.
