SoftPMO for Teams: A superior model for project team collaboration

Traditional project management software applications are installed on premise, and SoftPMO cloud software gets managed remotely, has a single “code-base” customized to the unique needs of each company. SoftPMO manages the software, not the customer, and the maintenance, operations, and network service get handled by SoftPMO. Finally, our cloud offer gets accessed through a standard web browser, providing agility, and scalability to the customer.


Fast response to unforeseen situations

With SoftPMO cloud deployments, capacity and location planning are no longer in the hands of the customer, but are the responsibility of SoftPMO. This allows companies to respond quickly to any business changes that may arise unexpectedly because operations are handled by SoftPMO.


Access to the latest and best updates

Software updates and renewals are handled by SoftPMO and occur several times a year at no cost to the customer. This ensures that the user interface remains modern and up-to-date with business demands.


Adoption is quick and simple

Users have access to SoftPMO cloud applications on standard web browsers anytime, anywhere. Using web style user interfaces of Microsoft SharePoint 2013, allows for more widespread adoption across the company without the need for detailed training.


Enhanced information security

One of the top concerns of customers is the fear of sacrificing data security when allowing company data to exist outside the internal firewall. According to Microsoft, security is actually increased when using Microsoft SharePoint cloud due to strict ISO security standards that Microsoft must adhere to, in addition to the regular security audits. This means no more worrying about lost laptops with confidential data and scary hacking threats.


Implementation time decreases from months to weeks

Time to value with SoftPMO cloud solutions is significantly lower than with on premise installations. A “go live” for SoftPMO cloud solutions takes typically days, whereas on premise solutions require weeks, or months to implement. Not only is implementation time reduced, but the IT resources required to roll-out cloud solutions are much less.


Decreased risk with subscription based cost model

With a pay-as-you-go, subscription-based cost structure, SoftPMO cloud services require a lower initial investment and a much lower overall costs than on premise. In addition, SoftPMO cloud solutions provide an “easy out” if the customer is dissatisfied with the solution. Therefore, the business risk is in the hands of SoftPMO and not the company itself.


According to Microsoft, “software will never be the same again.”

Increased strategic agility, short deployment times, lower risk and costs – the advantages of SoftPMO cloud computing are compelling.
