Publishing Project Information to company Intranet

R

Rob Broschard

We are in the process of implementing MS Project Server 2002 and we would
like to be able to automatically publish project information to our
company's intranet site. We don't want to purchase a CAL for all of our 3000
users to use Project Web Access. Also, we want it to be automated and easy
to use. Does anyone have similar needs? The solutions I have been told are
to manually save projects in HTML or develop custom reports with Crystal
reports. I was wondering if there are other solutions.

Thanks,
Rob Broschard

Hi,

We are in a similar position. We have 8,500 plans and
about 3,500 users. We want a small number of executives,
planners and managers to have access to all of the plans
on the web. They must also be able to print from the
web. The problem is:
If you have an enterprise resource in the global resource
pool, it takes this as a license need even though you are
not using the timesheet option.
If you want to use timesheets, you need to purchase cals
for each one of these (about 1 million dollars before
discount). We are considering using an alternate
timesheet system so as to avoid these costs.
The licenses and CALs are done on a trust basis and so
long as you can justify the number of CALs against actual
users, then you do noyt have to purchase additional
licenses (I think you get about 10 free).

Thanks

Whatever you do... DO NOT USE A TIMESHEET VENDOR NAMED
TENROX! They are extreamly un-ethecial.. we got burnt 40k+.
Make sure you read the VERY FINE print on the contracts
before you sign....
good luck

Rob:

Take a look at what the combination of SharePoint Portal server and Project
Server can do in this regard. If all you want is view capability this might
be a more powerful solution for you.

We are extremely proud of our award winning products, customer
satisfaction rates, and a history of consistent revenue growth,
profitability and customer retention that would not have been achieved
without the long term collaboration of and partnership with our
customers. We understand how important every single customer is and we
value their business. Hundreds of satisfied customers and our track
record are the best proof of how hard we try to make every single
customer extremely satisfied. I will be more than happy to discuss this
or any other specific cases where clients did not realize the required
spirit of partnership, the need for strategic planning and executive
sponsorship, and the mission critical nature of enterprise software
investments.
