Did you know that it has become necessary for a project manager to perform a Microsoft Project Online to Project Server migration? The reason is apparent. Microsoft has officially announced Project Online end of life. So, for large organizations, moving to Project Server Subscription Edition is an excellent option for getting all the enterprise-grade capabilities of Project Online. However, no matter the reason for migration, the process can be highly challenging. That’s why this guide was created to help you with the technical support and expertise needed to achieve success.
Issues with Project Online to Project Server Migration
During the migration of Project Online to Project Server Subscription Edition, organizations face several challenges that call for urgent solutions. These challenges include:
- Data complexity. Each data point you intend to migrate has distinct complexities and, as such, requires careful planning and technical know-how. For example, when configuring Project Server Subscription Edition, you need to ensure that data is correctly migrated and manage PWA configuration after migration.
- Time-consuming. MS Project Online migration to Project Server Subscription Edition involves moving project data. This process is time-consuming and resource-intensive, especially when projects are moved manually.
- Data loss. When organizations choose manual migration, human errors, such as the incorrect naming of project files or an inadvertent deletion of data, become more likely. These can lead to damaging or permanent loss of mission-critical data.
- Downtime. Manual migration can lead to disruption of project operations and downtime. This can undermine stakeholders’ trust and incur reputational damage.
These challenges are the reason project managers are seeking a better way to achieve migration success. But the question is, is there a solution that guarantees a smooth Project Online to Project Server migration?
