Protecting your projects in Microsoft Project Online is FluentPro’s Specialization.

The loss of critical project data while working with Microsoft Project Online is an existential threat to organizations’ strategic goals. Project Management Office (PMO) directors and Project Portfolio Management (PPM) administrators strive to have a global, informed view of each project. The aim is that when every other important element is in place, directors and administrators can easily predict all problems before they occur. Unfortunately, this has not always been the case. Organizations are still vulnerable to technical issues such as human error or negligence, hardware error, and application error, and data loss happens now and then. But you can start protecting your projects with these five steps.

Step #1. Know what poses a threat to your project

Human error accounts for 75% of the problem of data loss. We are humans, not programmed robots. We all make mistakes:

  • Human error can occur when staff unintentionally delete a whole or part of an essential company’s information or misplaced spreadsheets.
  • Hard drive damages.
  • Liquid/substance spills.
  • Software corruption and system hard drive formatting.

Even organization’s I.T. personnel make mistakes too, and downtime can be more significant when they do. Data incidents like application errors may result from network misconfigurations and security vulnerabilities. This may be due to a lack of basic knowledge or employee not having morning coffee. Data loss does occur, underscoring the problem it poses to PPM administrators and PMOs directors in achieving project objectives while using Microsoft Project Online. Data loss causes enormous financial and productivity loss for organizations. For instance, a technical issue like ransomware is another major threat to vital company files. It locks out companies and prevents them from accessing their files forever—unless they pay the ransom or perform a system backup recovery (assuming a backup).

Ransomware infections are primarily delivered via spam and phishing emails. When employees inadvertently click on such emails, the ransomware is activated. Every year, ransomware costs small businesses more than $74 billion. This underscores the need for PMOs and PPM executives to have a robust backup recovery solution that stretches boundaries. The fact is that even if PMOs and PPMs executives have all the elements for adequate data backup and recovery from disaster, they still require a reliable Project Online backup and recovery.  Microsoft policy does not expressly guarantee a speedy and complete restoration of lost data. FluentPro G.A. Suite Solution is the only recommended backup guide for project managers.

Step #2: Know how FluentPro backup and recovery solutions address the threats

Hundreds of small and large-scale businesses have adopted FluentPro’s Project Online backup recovery system solution, and the reasons are apparent. The FluentPro Product is a compatible data backup and recovery solution that pairs flawlessly with Project Online and helps companies mitigate Microsoft Project Online risk of data loss. It has complete features and functionality by which you can backup your projects, contents, and configurations. As a Project Online user, you can select when to backup, what to backup, and what you want or do not like to restore. So, during a disaster you can ignore the alarm by simply going over to your backup, locating the area of damage and restore to your desired point. Backup and recovery, including configurations, is easy to do with FluentPro. Just go over to your Project Online’s Connection Settings to add an additional account and start your projects’ backup.

Step #3. Know how FluentPro products work

FluentPro G.A Suite is a complete toolkit with capabilities that exceed backup and recovery challenges.

FluentPro G.A Suite acts as a “Governance and Administration” component by which companies can change project management, perform administration, clone PWAs, create development, carry out training, and environmental testing for new projects, and migrating from development environment to production is a change companies can perform while on Microsoft Online.

With FluentPro G.A Suite, you can create a backup schedule, perform an on-demand backup and restore data from a backup copy. You can also copy all your PWA Configurations from one or more PWA to another, including copying project plans. With its Cloud backup functionality, you can generate configurations for PWA and create a full copy of it to overcome common backup challenges.

All FluentPro products are essential for end-to-end backup structure and effective disaster recovery solutions.
