Upload your picture and away you go! June 26 Professional Services Solution Concept
Using Visio (of course), here's a solution concept I worked on for a customer around integrating Project Server with SAP and either Microsoft CRM or Portfolio Server to devise an end-to-end solution for their global consulting organization. June 21 Welcome to Microsoft Office Project Conference 2007Folks, it's that time of year again. The Microsoft Project Conference is taking registrations. Make sure you get a seat!
April 13 Best Practices Analyzer - Includes Project Server!The Microsoft Best Practices Analyzer for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and the 2007 Microsoft Office System Best Practices Analyzer programmatically collects settings and values from data repositories such as MS SQL, registry, metabase and performance monitor. Once collected, a set of comprehensive ‘best practice’ rules are applied to the topology.
One thing that you will notice is that it does indeed cover Project Server. There are a number of best practices that are specific to Project. For example, if there has been a failure with the cubes or if there are failed queue jobs the Best Practice Analyzer will warn you of these failures. It is important to note that this tool is a read only. It will not make any changes to your environment. You should give it a try.
