Microsoft Project Server: Enterprise Project Management for Large Organizations
A centralized platform for managing project portfolios, resources, and reporting at scale. Available as cloud or on-premise.
About the product
What is Microsoft Project Server?
Microsoft Project Server is an enterprise-grade platform for centralized management of projects, resources, and portfolios across the entire organization. It is designed for large enterprises where multiple projects run simultaneously and require a single point of control.
Unlike the desktop version of MS Project, Project Server operates as a cloud or on-premise system where every team member can access it via a browser, track task progress, and update status in real time. The PMO gains a consolidated view of the entire project portfolio in one place.
