The Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solution is a collaborative project and portfolio environment based on Microsoft Project Professional, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Project Server. The entire solution is commonly referred to as "MS Project Server".
MS Project Server is designed to provide visibility and to support decision making for organizations managing a portfolio of projects. It is unique in the EPM and Project Portfolio Management (PPM) space based on its ability to support a wide variety of users including Executives, Project Managers, Functional (Resource) Managers, and Knowledge Workers.
Pinnacle's clients have seen improved, smoother adoptions for an MS EPM solution based on its flexibility and users' familiarity with the major components of the MS EPM solution. MS Project is the de facto standard for project management tools world-wide. In fact, even Microsoft's competitors either rely on MS Project as part of their solutions or advertise their product as being "as easy to use as MS Project or having the look and feel of MS Project".
MS SharePoint has been adopted by 80% of Fortune 500 companies to manage their enterprise content and business work-flows and collaboration. A large number of vendors are designing their ERP, CRM, Product Lifecycle Management and other Enterprise systems to integrate with MS Project Server and SharePoint. This makes MS Project Server a natural choice for organizations implementing Enterprise Project Management or Portfolio Management Solutions.

Our proven successes in adoption of EPM and PPM solutions help our clients to quickly realize a return on investment and improve their project and portfolio performance.

Solid system integration is often critical to ensure that MS Project Server Systems provide quality information to Executives, PMs, and PMOs involved in making the necessary financial decisions to improve Project, Enterprise Project and Portfolio Management success.
