Project Server Archive & Recovery

1. Within Microsoft Project Server, there is no out-of-box functionality for automatically archiving projects (with associated Workspaces) on completion and recovery when needed.

2. System performance issues (incl reporting) as result of build-up of old/ completed projects e.g. PWA pages fail to load, experiencing time-out issues.

3. System administrative burden. Administrators spending a lot of time undertaking numerous manual steps to hide/delete completed projects resulting in huge administrative burden.

Note: Manual steps undertaken involve adding projects to deny security groups or manually deleting projects or simply hiding projects from views. 

4. The manually hidden/deleted project schedules are completely divorced from their associated workspace.

5. Issues with Traceability of completed projects for audits, lessons learned, and follow ups. Users unable to easily access old completed project data for audits or to re-use/apply learning in new projects of similar type, after manually deleting, hiding etc.

6. Unable to easily recover data. Administrators not able to easily recover deleted Project and re-link to Workspaces.

7. System adoption issue as users unable to follow through the entire project lifecycle. Old completed projects remain visible when projects are accessed via Project pro or PWA.

1. Flexibility - Configuration application to easily map your existing system metadata/custom fields which can be used for mass archiving and recovery.

2. Multi-tenancy - supports multiple instances of PWA on same environment/farm.

3. Windows Application and Web based administrative tools for mass archive & recovery for remote access. Filtering capability for attributes such as completed projects, owner, type, department and more.

4. Automated Archiving based on User Defined Rules for Untended Continuous Processing.

5. Batch processing for Archive and Recovery, scheduled for off-peak times.  Scheduled timer job for administrative mass archive and recovery jobs.

6. Automated clean-up of system backups as the projects are archived. Choose either to clean-up all system backups or retain last copy.
