Migration Options (Complex Migration)
Why You’re Seeing This
- You already have servers available (cloud or on-premises).
- You asked for a ballpark migration estimate.
- Your answers point to a complex migration scenario.
This usually means multiple custom fields, workflows, integrations, or a larger project management team that increases complexity.
Recommendations
- Stay put for now — keep working in Project Online while you prepare for migration.
- Plan ahead — complex migrations typically start around $50k+, with scope depending on integrations, workflows, and customizations.
- Engage experts early — your partner may not have the migration experience needed. We’ve done these before and can help guide you.
Don’t Forget
- Integrations: ERP, HR, or Jira links require careful planning and testing.
- Workflows: Custom workflows may need to be redesigned or re-implemented.
- Custom fields/views: Large numbers of fields and views add to migration effort.
- Resources & projects: The more data you bring over, the more planning is required.
- Licensing costs: Project Server, SQL, and SharePoint licenses are required. Work with your Microsoft partner or EA licensing contact to scope costs alongside migration.
Benefits of Planning for Complexity
- Preserve existing processes: Your workflows and integrations carry forward.
- Scalability: Complex environments are built to handle more users and data.
- Expert support: Gold Partners and specialists can ensure a smooth transition.
