To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with an Office 365 PPM implementation, Forrester interviewed four customers with multiple years of experience using Office 365 PPM. Microsoft Office 365 PPM is a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering that helps organizations improve resource management, increase project management performance, and improve visibility into projects, programs, and portfolios. As a cloud-based solution, Office 365 PPM also reduces infrastructure costs and removes the need for costly software upgrades. Additionally, Office 365 PPM easily scales with business growth while providing synergies with Office 365 products and integration with SharePoint and Power BI.

Some highlights:

• Office 365 PPM delivers ROI of 301%
• Improved visibility into project performance reduces project budget overruns by 5%
• Migrating to a cloud-based SaaS PPM solution allowed organizations to save $162,000 annually
