Microsoft Project Server Migration Services

Migrations provided by MS Project Server Experts since 2007

Project Server migration has become essential for organizations running legacy on-premises deployments like Project Server 2013, 2016, 2019, or PWA sites. As businesses outgrow outdated infrastructure and face shifting Microsoft support timelines, upgrading to modern Project Server versions, hosted solutions, or cloud alternatives delivers enhanced project portfolio management (PPM), improved scalability, and alignment with current business priorities.

This urgency intensifies with Project Online retirement approaching on September 30, 2026. The Project Online EOL forces thousands of organizations to rethink their PPM strategy, as Microsoft sunsets this SaaS solution and directs customers toward Project Server Subscription Edition (SE) or other platforms. Apps4Rent's Microsoft-certified engineers specialize in these complex Project Server migrations, leveraging proven techniques and 24/7 phone, chat, and email support to ensure seamless transitions during this critical industry shift.

Why Upgrade Microsoft Project Server?


Continued Microsoft Support

Most Microsoft on-premises solutions, including Project Server, follow a 10-year support lifecycle. Upgrading to newer Project Server versions or modern cloud alternatives ensures continued access to Microsoft's technical support and security updates.

Updated Project Features

With every new release, Microsoft adds updates to Project Server while depreciating legacy redundant features. Businesses should upgrade to the latest Project Server Subscription Edition (SE) or modern hosted solutions for ongoing support.

Bug And Security
Fixes

Unlike Project Online, Microsoft provides security and performance updates for Project Server in releases. Many of these vulnerabilities will be left unresolved if enterprises do not upgrade the existing Project software installation.

Business Requirement Alignment

With newer technologies, existing projects, data, and workflows must be modified to cater to changing business requirements. Legacy on-premises Project Server can have compatibility issues, that can be solved by migrating or upgrading.


Why Microsoft Project Server Hosting?


Improved Service Availability

Migrating Project Server to the cloud ensures better availability of the software. It does not rely on the computing resources of local devices and is installed in servers in data centers with backups, ensuring that it is always available.

Predictable Operational Costs

Hosting Microsoft Project in the cloud ensures that the operational expenses are predictable for maintaining the solution. This is useful for individuals and businesses that do not have adequate infrastructure or computing resources.

Enables Online
Access

While on-premises Project versions offer hybrid options, full cloud migration can be challenging. Apps4Rent’s Microsoft Project Server hosting solution modernizes access for older versions.

Scalable Computing Resources

Project Server is a highly scalable project portfolio management solution. It is only limited by the physical infrastructure restrictions. Project Server cloud hosting provides scalable computing resources to overcome these challenges.
