Project Server 2010 provides some compelling reasons to upgrade; enhanced reporting & business intelligence (BI) and with Web Based Project Edting are just two of them.
Project Server Migration Process
When upgrading Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2010, There are three options, these options are all available to users upgrading from Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2010:
-
- This option migrates your project data and your project workspace data. This option is appropriate when you have to upgrade both Project Server and the associated SharePoint workspaces.
-
- This option only migrates your project data. This option is appropriate when you do not have to migrate your project workspace data.
-
- This option upgrades your data and Office Project Server 2007 settings on the existing server.
Due to the significantly enhanced database structure the process is not a pure upgrade but a migration of the data between the solutions. Project Server 2010 is also based on 64 bit technology which previous versions of Project Server were not.
Another consideration must be SharePoint. Project Server 2007 required Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) to be installed, with Project Server 2010 you MUST have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition installed - so associated SharePoint workspaces may also be upgraded.
Why Migrate?
Project Server 2010 provides a substantial change to Project Server 2007 and provides numerous improvements, both in terms of functionality, performance and usability.
Equally the new Microsoft Project Professional 2010 also introduces a number of highly requested improvements, including timeline view and team planner resource view.
