Cognitive Technologies can install, configure and/or upgrade Microsoft® Project Server® and SharePoint®, to help your team's work, collaborate and communicate more effectively.

As an experienced, certified Microsoft Partner, Cognitive Technologies can install, configure, and deploy a Microsoft® Project Server® or SharePoint Server® solution (2007 or 2010). And if you are running any version prior to 2010, we can upgrade it to help you attain better performance and assist with change management.

Implement Microsoft Project Server® or SharePoint Server®

Is your organization ready for better tools and processes? Our experienced staff has implemented ProjectServer and SharePoint or all types and sizes of organizations. We are experts at planning, implementing, training and supporting Microsoft® Office Project or SharePoint® into an enterprise. Cognitive Technologies’ professionals have led clients through all aspects of implementation from first time install to overhaul of old or existing platforms and technologies.

Upgrade Project Server® and SharePoint®

Many organizations consider the migration from one generation of technology to the next a daunting project—and it can be, if your staff has never done it before. It’s even more challenging to migrate to the latest technologies when you have multiple instances of either Microsoft® Office Project or SharePoint® Servers throughout your enterprise. Cognitive Technologies’ professionals have led clients through all aspects of upgrading platforms and technologies to the latest Microsoft® versions.

Using our upgrade tools, processes, and expertise, we can consolidate and safely migrate your Project Server or SharePoint data to 2007 or 2010. Our team of experienced project management, SharePoint, and Project specialists offer a comprehensive approach to upgrade and integrate Microsoft Project and Microsoft SharePoint Server into the organization.

Key benefits of upgrading include:

  • Enhanced system stability—Faster open/save/publish through Active Cache and improved integration between applications
  • Enhanced system performance—Can run in 32- or 64-bit mode
  • Improved navigation and user interface—Tabs, breadcrumbs, and customizable sidebars
  • Improved content management—Versioning and check-in/check-out features and the ability to implement records/policy management rules
  • Improved administrative functionality—Overhauled Server Settings pages and redesigned Central Administration site
  • Added reporting capabilities—Cross-project reporting and data aggregation, as well as improved alerts
  • Added work flows—Enables better process implementation for PMOs and management

Upgrade and consolidate

Some clients require the consolidation of multiple instances of Microsoft® Office Project Server in addition to the standard upgrade migration. In this case, Cognitive Technologies provides the following additional services to ensure overall success:

  • Identify competing fields that need to be changed prior to consolidation, common or overlapping fields that can be merged, and unique fields that can stand alone;
  • Resolve custom outline code and custom field issues;
  • Devise a comprehensive, combined security model to meet the needs of multiple business units;
  • Conduct comprehensive beta testing across multiple business units.
