Microsoft Project Server 2010

UMT Consulting SA has been closely involved with all version of Project and Project server ever released by Microsoft, as the implementation of EPM software is one of our niches. UMT Consulting SA is very excited about the 2010 release, as this is the biggest improvement and effort spent on, especially Project server 2010, since the initial launch of project server 2003. Through the years Microsoft has grown the MSP (Microsoft Project Environment) from a stand-alone application to a fully fledged, integrated, communication and collaboration environment.

The biggest investment areas that Microsoft focussed on during the architecture and development of Project Server 2010 can be seen as contained within the image below:
