Microsoft Project Server 2010 (Includes Software Assurance)

Microsoft Project Server 2010 enables medium-sized and large organisations to better manage projects and project portfolios, collaborate across the entire enterprise, and effectively analyse and report on both projects and programs. Microsoft Project Server 2010 is accessed via its clients, Microsoft Project Professional and Microsoft Project Web Access.

Microsoft Project Server 2010 is the successor to Microsoft Project Server 2007, but it also integrates many of the features of Microsoft Project Portfolio Server, which is no longer available. Microsoft Project Server 2010's portfolio management features allow organisations to identify, select, manage, and deliver portfolios of projects, programs, and software applications (collectively known as investments) that align with their strategy.

A new demand management module captures all work in a centralised repository, allowing organisations to develop and deploy effective governance workflows in order to manage project investments throughout their life cycle and to drive accountability and control. When Microsoft Project Server is used with its web client, Microsoft Project Web Access, users have a simple Web interface to access a range of functions like timesheets, proposals, projects, programs, and activity plans.

Microsoft Project Server 2010 also adds the Fluent user interface, which simplifies navigation by replacing menus and toolbars with a set of task-based tabs known as the Ribbon.

Service Pack 1 includes new and previously released security, performance, and stability updates for Microsoft Project Server 2010.

Microsoft Project Server 2010 is built on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and is designed for use with Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise and Microsoft Project Professional 2010 as part of the Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solution. The EPM solution is suited for organisations that need strong coordination and standardisation between projects and project managers, centralised resource management, or higher-level reporting for projects and resources.

This product includes a server license. Each user or device that accesses Microsoft Project Server must have a Microsoft Project Server user or device client access license (CAL), whether the access is through Microsoft Project or through Microsoft Project Web Access, the Microsoft Project Server web client.
