Does Microsoft plan to move away from requiring a direct network connection
(ODBC) between Project Pro and Project Server with its next release?
Unfortunately, this requirement is causing us serious problems and is making
us rethink how/whether to implement Project Server.
I work for a consulting firm. I am most often working from a client site,
connected to the client network. All of our clients are justifiably
sensitive about network security, and most block the ports required for
establishing a VPN connection back to our home network and Project Server
(from within Project Pro). Yes, I can of course still connect to PWA, but
PWA doesn't provide the critical project plan management functionality I
require while at the client site working with my team.
Port 80 connectivity capability (like was provided in the current release of
Outlook) would be a HUGE BENEFIT for us. I have to believe there are others
who also see the network connectivity issue as a barrier to implementing
Project Server.
Anone have any insight into MS's plans and/or thinking along these lines?
Thanks -
