MS Project Server Subscription Edition Services
Keep the project management capabilities you need, with the expertise to implement, optimize, and support them.
Project Server Subscription Edition gives organizations a powerful, highly configurable project and portfolio management environment. But getting long-term value from it takes more than installing the software.
Advisicon helps organizations implement, migrate to, optimize, maintain, and support PS-SE across the full Microsoft PPM ecosystem.
Is Project Server Subscription Edition Right for You?
PS-SE can be a strong fit for organizations that need:
- Greater control over their project and portfolio management environment
- On-premises or self-managed infrastructure
- Specific security, compliance, or data requirements
- More sophisticated PPM capabilities than lighter-weight work management tools provide
- Continued investment in the Microsoft Project and SharePoint ecosystem
- A highly configurable environment that can support established PMO processes

Health Assessments & Remediation
When performance problems or technical issues arise, it isn't always clear whether the cause lies in PS-SE, its supporting infrastructure, or the way the environment is configured.

A well-configured environment delivers value only when the people who manage and use it have the knowledge and support they need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Project Server Subscription Edition?
Project Server Subscription Edition (PSSE) is Microsoft’s on-premises project and portfolio management (PPM) solution. It provides many of the familiar capabilities organizations rely on in Project Online while allowing you to host and manage your own environment in the cloud, through a hosting provider, or on your own infrastructure.
How is PS-SE different from Project Online?
Project Online was a Microsoft-hosted cloud service, while PS-SE runs in an environment your organization manages or arranges through a hosting provider. PS-SE can preserve familiar project management processes and provide greater control over infrastructure and configuration, but it requires ongoing server administration, maintenance, and updates. Its architecture and capabilities also differ from newer Microsoft cloud-based solutions.
Is PS-SE still a good option after Project Online retirement?
Yes. PS-SE can be a practical option for organizations that want to preserve established project management processes, minimize disruption for users, or maintain greater control over their environment. The right choice depends on your technical requirements, infrastructure, security needs, budget, and long-term strategy. Advisicon can help you evaluate whether PS-SE fits your organization’s needs or whether another solution would be a better investment.
Can Advisicon help if we've already migrated to PS-SE?
Absolutely. Advisicon can help improve, maintain, and support an existing PS-SE environment, even if your migration is already complete. We can assess your configuration, troubleshoot issues, improve reporting, support user adoption, and identify opportunities to improve performance and reliability.
Can Advisicon take over an environment implemented by another partner?
Yes. Advisicon can assess an existing PS-SE environment regardless of who implemented it. We’ll review its configuration, technical health, and support needs before recommending a practical transition plan for administration, maintenance, troubleshooting, or optimization.
Can you migrate custom fields, workflows, reports, and historical data?
Advisicon can assess your existing configuration, custom fields, workflows, reports, and historical project data to determine what can be migrated, what needs to be rebuilt or reconfigured, and what requires an alternative approach. Our MUVE migration tool helps streamline migration activities, but the final scope depends on your environment, customizations, and technical requirements. We’ll identify key considerations during discovery and migration planning.
How often should PS-SE be patched?
Microsoft releases monthly public updates for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, which underpins PS-SE. Keeping your environment current helps address security vulnerabilities and maintain stability and supportability. Advisicon can help plan, test, and coordinate updates based on your environment, maintenance windows, and operational requirements.
Do you provide ongoing PS-SE administration and support?
Yes. Advisicon offers ongoing support tailored to your environment and business needs. Services can include administration, patching and maintenance, proactive monitoring, troubleshooting, configuration assistance, health assessments, and strategic guidance to help keep your environment reliable and aligned with your organization’s needs.
Can you help troubleshoot performance or reporting issues?
Yes. Advisicon can investigate performance and reporting issues across your PS-SE environment, including application configuration, infrastructure, data, and reporting components. We’ll work to identify potential root causes and recommend practical solutions based on your technical setup and business requirements.
Can you work directly with Microsoft when an issue requires escalation?
Yes. When an issue requires Microsoft’s direct involvement, Advisicon can work with Microsoft Engineering Support on your behalf. Our experience across the Microsoft project management ecosystem helps us communicate technical challenges, provide relevant context, and coordinate next steps toward resolution.
