Migration Options – Hosted / Build New
Why You’re Seeing This
- You don’t currently have your own servers (on-prem or cloud).
- You chose not to explore migration costs.
The most practical path forward is a hosted or newly built Project Server solution.
Recommendations
- Stay put for now — if you’re using Project Online today, you can keep working without disruption.
- Start exploring options — since you don’t have existing infrastructure, begin evaluating hosted Project Server vs. building new in the cloud or on-prem.
- Talk with your partner — confirm their migration expertise. Or, if they don’t specialize in this, we can help.
Don’t Forget
- Licensing: Confirm your EA or volume licensing for SQL, SharePoint, and Project Server if you plan to build new.
- Support: Hosted options typically start around $1,100/month — useful for OpEx budgeting.
- Timeline: Even if you don’t need to migrate right away, start planning so you’re ready before deadlines hit.
Benefits of Hosted / Build New
- Flexibility: Choose hosted (OpEx) or in-house build (CapEx).
- Security: Gold Partners handle backups, patches, and uptime if hosted.
- Scalability: Start small and add resources/users as needed.
Hosted vs. Build New
| Option | Cost Model | Who Manages | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosted | Monthly OpEx (~$1,100/mo) | Gold Partner | Orgs without IT overhead |
| Build New | One-time CapEx + infra costs | Your IT team | Orgs with CapEx budget & IT resources |
