Enlighten have the expertise to deliver you enhanced Enterprise Project Management (EPM) capabilities through Microsoft Project Server. Microsoft Project Server helps you align projects and programs with strategic business objectives, select an optimal portfolio, manage projects throughout their lifecycle, communicate progress and issues effectively, and leverage integration with Microsoft Office applications.


The Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution makes it easier for you to manage resources, time, projects, programs and portfolios. It also can help your organisation collaborate more effectively, control finances, track time, and analyse information. To see how we have done this for other organisations please click here  to read our case study.


The 2007 Microsoft EPM solution focuses on improving four areas below:

More Visibility and Insights

  • Budget Tracking and Cost Resources allow better financial insight and tracking.
  • The Proposals capability in Office Project Web Access manages plans and activities prior to project approval.
  • The Activity Plan capability of Office Project Web Access helps manage ongoing operations activities after project completion.
  • The Reporting Data Service permits easy user reporting with common business reporting tools such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
  • With the Cube Building Service, users can easily select data to build portfolio analyzer cubes for sophisticated analysis and reporting.

Easier To Get Started

  • For simple task tracking you can use the new Project Task List in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services technology then import this into Office Project Web Access.
  • Enterprise Templates and the Project Guide establish repeatable processes that capture best practices.
  • You can use familiar tools such as Microsoft Office Outlook for entering progress or Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007 for creating dynamic reports.
  • Office Project Web Access and Project Workspaces enable your team to collaborate over the Web.

Enterprise Ready

  • Get information about high-level resource allocation for proposed projects with Resource Plans.
  • Individuals other than the assigned resource can provide status updates on tasks by using the Assignment Owner feature.
  • Timesheets support fiscal periods. Financial fields, such as cost codes, enable you to report on hours that are separate from the progress made on tasks, and more.
  • With Server-Side Scheduling, users can build a custom Web user interface without requiring process schedule changes to be made in Office Project Professional 2007.
  • Programs enable easy management of multiple sub-projects and their cross-project dependencies in a coordinated fashion.
  • Deliverables help track and manage cross-project dependencies.

Extensible and Programmable

  • Office Project Server 2007 now uses the Microsoft .NET Framework so our development team can now customise Project Server to your requirements.
  • The Event Model in Office Project Server 2007 supports use of Windows Workflow Foundation to integrate business processes with your project work.
  • The Project Server Interface exposes the functionality and data that your client applications need to integrate with Office Project Server 2007 or to extend its functionality.
