Our Migration Process
Assess Your Current Environment
The migration process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your Project Online environment. This assessment defines the precise migration scope, identifies potential risks and technical challenges, and provides a solid foundation for developing an accurate migration schedule, effort estimate, and overall project cost.
- Review your existing environment
- Inventory settings, projects, and sites
- Identify items requiring manual rebuild
- Define the migration scope and effort
- Keep the assessment fully read-only
- Deliver a costed migration schedule
You receive:
An assessment report, approved scope, and costed migration schedule.
Build the New Environment
Install and configure the required on-premises Microsoft platform. If an existing environment is available on-premises, a review process will be conducted to identify any changes needed before migration.
- Install and configure SQL Server
- Install SharePoint Server and configure Project Server
- Review any existing infrastructure
- Test the platform before migration
- Document the completed environment
You receive:
A tested, configured, and documented Project Server environment.
Map Users and Migrate Settings
Match Microsoft 365 accounts with internal directory accounts. Project owners, resources, assignments, and timesheets remain connected to the correct users, and Project Online instance settings are matched to the new environment.
- Match cloud and internal user accounts
- Validate owners, resources, and users
- Resolve inactive or unmatched accounts
- Approve the final migration scope
- Document the approved user mapping
- Migrate settings (lookups, custom fields, etc.)
- Transfer calendars and work periods
- Recreate workflow stages and phases
- Move resources and calendars
You receive:
An approved user mapping and migrated settings

Migration Rehearsal
- Confirm active and archived projects
- Run a full end-to-end rehearsal
- Keep both environments unchanged
- Preview the new platform experience
- Measure the required cutover time
- Correct issues without service risk
- Agree the go-live date and window
You receive:
A rehearsal report, confirmed migration scope, and an agreed go-live plan.
05
Migrate Projects and Sites
- Move schedules, tasks, and assignments
- Retain dependencies and constraints
- Preserve baselines and actuals
- Transfer documents, lists, and files
- Retain project-site version history
- Resume safely after interruptions
You receive:
Your projects and project sites on the new platform.06
Go Live and Provide Support
- Compare source and target environments
- Validate every migrated object type
- Issue a written pass or fail result
- Direct users to the new platform
- Orient administrators and users
- Provide a complete handover pack
- Deliver post-go-live expert support
You receive:
A detailed verification report with formal written results, a signed-off go-live, complete handover, and post-migration support.
Start with an Assessment
If the assessment determines that your organization is not yet ready to migrate, you still receive a comprehensive understanding of your current Project Online environment, the estimated migration effort, and clear recommendations to help you prepare for a successful migration.
While there is no obligation to proceed with the migration immediately, it is important to note that Microsoft Project Online is approaching retirement. Organizations that choose to defer migration should be aware that, once the service is retired, access to Project Online data will no longer be available unless the data has been migrated or archived beforehand.
- Complete visibility before commitment
- Clear scope, schedule, and cost
- A practical migration readiness view
- Independent value from each phase
