Microsoft Office Project Server
Microsoft Office Project Server is a project management and scheduling server solution
developed by Microsoft. It leverages Windows SharePoint Services as its foundation,
and utilizes both a web interface and Microsoft Project as the client application.
The challenge in using a standalone scheduling application is that there is a need
to constantly update the baseline schedule with consumption of resources, material
and labor on the site and update the progress of the project. In addition as change
occurs in the contract management system schedules need to be updated. A lack of
integration between contract administration and scheduling processes invalidates
the baseline schedule and creates additional work.
To Address this problem Aurigo BRIX supports connectors to Microsoft Project Server
2007. The connector allows for two-way synchronization between the two applications.
Key Features:
- Contract Items (BOQs) and Work Break down structures are synchronized between the
systems.
- Activities in Project Server are scheduled and base-lined.
- Schedule Dates are synchronized between the two systems.
- Approved work progress captured in BRIX automatically updates the schedule.
- Approved Change Orders are automatically synchronized with Project Server.
