Migration Options – Hosted / Build New (Simple Migration)
Why You’re Seeing This
- You don’t currently have your own servers (on-prem or cloud).
- You asked for a ballpark migration estimate.
- Your answers point to a simple migration scenario.
This means your environment should be faster and cheaper to migrate, provided you secure hosting or build new infrastructure.
Recommendations
- Stay put for now — continue using Project Online while you plan next steps.
- Evaluate hosting vs. build new — hosted starts at ~$400/month; building new is a CapEx investment in licenses + infra.
- Plan for migration — a simple migration usually ranges $5k–10k depending on scope.
- Talk with your partner — if they don’t specialize in migrations, we can help.
Don’t Forget
- Licensing costs: Project Server, SQL, SharePoint, and Windows Server licenses are required if you build new. Confirm with your Microsoft partner or EA licensing team.
- Hosting: If you don’t want to manage infrastructure, Gold Partners can host Project Server for you. We can help put you with the right partners and can help walk you through the process and migration.
- Project data: Export/import of projects keeps costs lower.
Benefits of a Simple Migration
- Predictable costs: $5k–10k migration + clear hosting/build pricing.
- Faster setup: Simple environments move more quickly.
- Flexibility: Choose OpEx (hosted) or CapEx (build new).
