New Microsoft Project Server 2010 for Enterprise Project Management book based on BeMo Content Pack

Posted on June 13, 2012 by | 1 Comment

BeMo is very proud of the new book written by James Bulmer for project managers / project planners who are responsible for developing and maintaining projects and programs using either Microsoft Project Professional 2010 connected to Project Server 2010 or Project Web App (PWA). The book explains the Project Server administrative options that control the actions project managers can and cannot take when using Project Server 2010. It also covers Project Server’s Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) and Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities.


Best of all “Microsoft Project Server 2010 for Enterprise Project Management” solves a major pain point for anyone that wants to learn and practice as they go since it is based on the BeMo Content Pack. The BeMo Content Pack is based on the fictional Contoso Company and delivers a similar experience as documented in numerous publications on Project Server 2010. Being deployed as an option on BeMo Cloud, the BeMo Content Pack does not require any special hardware or any virtualization software. All you need is Internet Explorer and an internet connection. The BeMo Content Pack comes with:

  • 8 Role-based logins
  • 120+ enterprise resource pool
  • 20+ projects and proposals all with customized project sites
  • Two sample programs, one of a inserted three project schedules and one of two inserted project schedules
  • The out-of-the-box Project Server Sample Workflow
  • A Project Portfolio Management (PPM) strategy that is linked to the Sample Workflow.
  • A customized Business Intelligence (BI) experience (requires BI service option on your BeMo Cloud )
  • A comprehensive 75-page guide

To buy James’ book – Microsoft Project Server 2010 for Enterprise Project Management – simply go to http://www.buybooksontheweb.com/Search.aspx?kw=bulmer&typ=Author. As an added bonus for the people who acquire the BeMo Content Pack, it has a 180 page Lab manual that relates directly to the Chapters in the book.

James, again, you have done an amazing job! Your book will become quickly a bible on how to learn Project Professional and Project Server 2010!

One good reason to use Project Server 2010 hosted vs. On Premise – Better Uptime

Posted on January 5, 2012 by | Leave a comment

One of the main reasons to go Hosted vs. On Premise solution is the ability to truly measure the uptime of your Project Server 2007 or 2010 infrastructure. As many of you are aware, Microsoft Project Server is not the simplest solution to manage (Windows Server, IIS, SQL, SharePoint, Project Server, and more) and making sure that all the appropriate applications and services are always up to date and fine-tuned require a very deep knowledge of all the pieces.

We know at BeMo (http://www.bemopro.com) by experience, that not many IT departments truly know how (of course, most of them will claim the opposite) to get the best performance out of their Project Server 2010 solution.

At BeMo, we know that uptime SLA is one of the core metrics that our customers care about and BeMo takes it very seriously – we use Uptrends (www.uptrends.com) – a third party to independently measure and report our uptime. Monthly, we published our official uptime SLA on our blog (http://blog.bemopro.com ), our Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/bemopro) and via our Tweeter (@bemopro) accounts and, even back it up via a financial compensation if we happened to not meet our 99.9% uptime guaranteed SLA. None of our competitors offer such a transparency in their SLA measurement.

BeMo had a very good 2011 year concerning our Project Server 2010 uptime SLA – an average of 99.96% over 12 months! We are very confident that we can compete very well against any of BeMo competitors but also beat, hands down, most of any ‘In-House IT department’ managing their internal Project Server 2007 and 2010 solutions.

If you have any questions, send us an email at info@bemopro.com

BeMo just revamped its website and has compiled a bunch of useful information to help decision makers, implementers and users realize the benefits of hosted Microsoft Project Server 2010.

Amongst other things, BeMo included high-level video demonstrations of Microsoft Project, Comparison chart for hosted services, Best Practices from TechNet (Business Intelligence, Demand Management as well as Time and Task Management) and an overview of BeMo hosted services.

Project Server 2010 made easy by BeMo- Review by Project MVP Gerard Ducouret

Posted on December 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

On December 18. 2011, Gerard Ducouret, Project MVP from Pragma-soft (www.pragma-soft.com) published a nice article in French about his review of BeMo Cloud – you can find the original article @ http://www.pragma-soft.com/faq2010/faq.htm?lien=28.htm

Here is the English translation of the same article

Tempted by hosted solutions, we tested BeMo Cloud hosted Microsoft Project Server by BeMo. BeMo was founded by two former Microsoft employees: Joël Lachance and Bruno Lecoq. Joël Lachance is francophone, which will reassure some French decision makers :)

BeMo Cloud is a solution delivering Microsoft Project Server 2010 hosted on shared servers (Multi-tenant). This offering is ideal for 1 to 100 users (and can be deployed in less than 30 minutes). The package we tested included the following features:

  • High availability
  • Project Server 2010 Business Intelligence (BI)
  • 1 GB of data storage per user.

We were particularly interested by the response time. They are quite satisfactory. For the Project Server functions that are not required for Business Intelligence, we found the response time similar to those of an ‘in-house’ deployment. For Business intelligence functions which involve Remote Desktop Services (formerly Terminal Services), the response time was slightly longer, but remain quite good for you to still have a good experience with the product. We appreciated the responsiveness of the BeMo technical support because the setting of everything that revolves around BI is not very straight forward; workaround were always provided within few hours after the submission of the problem.

With BeMo hosted solutions, complication normally associated with setup and maintenances are now things of the past.

We also tested the access to our database through the BeMo Lite application running on an iPad 2. It is extremely handy and allows easy monitoring of the tasks progress via your iPad. There is not yet the management of the time sheets, but this feature is promised (at the date of December 15, 2011) for the coming weeks.

We believe this solution offered by BeMo can significantly interest small and medium-sized businesses which do not have the financial means to finance an IT department.
