  • (IT) Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) Tool Assessment Report
    Rutgers University Information Technology (IT) Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) Tool Assessment Report Provided by the IT PPM Committee Tool Assessment Working Group December 1, 2020 Version 1.0 Executive Summary In January 2020, the Information Technology Project and Portfolio Management (IT PPM) Committee formed a working group to review and recommend an enterprise IT PPM tool for Rutgers. As the working group was getting underway and beginning to review enterprise tools, the COVID-19 pandemic began. Given the significant financial impact to Rutgers caused by the pandemic, the working group altered their course. Rather than continuing a review of relatively large and expensive enterprise tools, the working group decided to review tools that are currently available and already in use at Rutgers, and that can be adopted at a relatively low cost by RU departments. This report provides a review of three IT PPM tools: • Microsoft Planner • Smartsheet • Microsoft Project Online. Each of the three tools described in this document offers low-cost or no-cost user licenses. Two of the tools (MS Project Online and Smartsheet) provide for a wide range of project management needs. MS Planner provides a more limited range of functionality. This report provides background on the IT PPM Committee Working Group, describes the Working Group process, provides an analysis of the three tools, and suggests how this analysis can be used by departments as a foundation for further evaluation and decision-making. Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a high-level assessment of certain project management tools readily available at Rutgers in order to assist departments in their decision making regarding PPM tool selection.

PART II: OFFICE 365 FEATURES PART III: HOW OFFICE 365 CAN BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS PART IV: PLANNING FOR YOUR MIGRATION PART V: THE POST-MIGRATION CHECKLIST 1 | THE AVENTIS GUIDE TO OFFICE 365 PART I: WHAT IS OFFICE 365, AND WHY ARE WE HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT IT? Office 365 is one of the most talked-about new additions to the business environment, and for good reason. Microsoft’s cloud-based version of Office has helped reinvent the company by offering businesses a subscription model that allows them to rent their software with an annual or monthly subscription rather than buying it. With its ability to streamline office collaboration, reduce the costs of hardware storage and maintenance and improve productivity overall, Office 365 is proving to be an investment that can actually save companies money. And since upgrades are automatically included, users benefit by not having to shell out money for the latest version, while at the same time being able to enjoy the most up-to-date features. The pivot to a cloud-based version of Office has proven incredibly successful for Microsoft, and today more than half of all business users who use Office products are using Office 365. Microsoftpredicts that number will rise to two- thirds by fiscal year 2019, and their gamble on the cloud platform is paying off for both the software giant and its customers. With greater tools for collaboration, Office 365 is designed to keep all team members working on the same page, in real time, regardless of whether they’re across the room or across the country.

    THE OFFICE 365 FRIENDLY INTRANET Unify your entire digital workplace with Colibo’s Office 365 friendly intranet. www.colibo.com “An Office 365 intranet is not a magic pill that EXTEND will meet all collaboration, communication and document management challenges of a THE VALUE company.” Sergey Golubenko Team Lead and Solution Architect OF YOUR ScienceSoft OFFICE 365 With more than 1.2 billion users worldwide that use some kind of Microsoft Office product or service, Microsoft is inevitable in the digi- tal landscape of both small and large scale enterprises. All depending on which Office 365 licensing model your organiza- tion uses, Office 365 consists of many standalone applications, such as Teams, Yammer, OneDrive, Office Online, Sway, Planner, SharePoint Online, Exchange, Skype for Business, Stream, Flow and it seems like there is a new icon available each time you log into your Office 365 dashboard. No doubt that each application has great functionality that are brought into play as elements that strengthen the digitization in the organiza- tions. However, the problem with the elements in Office 365 is, that they to a great extent are missing a glue that logically ties them together. The individual user in larger organizations is exposed to so much func- tional complexity in Office 365 and several analysts claim that most users only use 20% of the functionality. In the following guide we will give you an overview of Colibo for Office 365. We will show and tell how Colibo as a Workplace Integra- tion Hub will act as “the glue” that will tie your Microsoft apps together and extend the value of your Office 365 environment.
