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 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, are other technical challenges human errors can cause and result in data loss.
Even organizations I.T. personnel make mistakes too, and when they do, the downtime can be more significant. Data incidents like application errors may result from network misconfigurations and security vulnerabilities—typical technical issues within the company’s I.T. system management. This may be due to a lack of basic knowledge or employee not having their morning coffee. The fact is, 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 up the ransom or perform a system backup recovery (assuming there was a backup).
Ransomware infections are mostly delivered via spam and phishing emails. When employees inadvertently clicked on such emails, the ransomware is activated. Every year, ransomware cost small businesses more than $74 billion, and attacks are still ongoing, further underscoring the need for PMOs and PPMs 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 considering that Microsoft policy does not expressly guarantee a speedy and complete restoration of lost data. The only recommended guide to backup for project managers is FluentPro G.A. Suite Solution.
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.

So, during a disaster—whether caused by human error, a hardware problem, a ransomware attack, or an application error—you can ignore the alarm by simply going over to your backup, locate 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
