Ron manning the Project Hosts table at the Midwest SharePoint and Project Conference
Ron Luchansky (Director of Partner Engagement for Project Hosts – ronl@projecthosts.com) is at the Midwest SharePoint and Project Server 2013 Conference in Chicago and his on-site report is that this year’s event is all about “collaboration” and “clouds.” This includes improving collaboration for end users, and enabling collaboration between partners to deliver world-class Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) and SharePoint solutions. “Clouds” are also on this year’s agenda, as more and more businesses are discovering the advantages of cloud-based business solutions.
Collaboration and Clouds are nothing new to Project Hosts. Project Hosts has been working with both PPM and SharePoint partners and delivering custom clouds for nearly a decade. We’re the recognized leader in this hosting space, working with leading application providers, consultative firm, and training organizations to ensure that medium-sized businesses and large enterprises get the PPM or SharePoint solution that is custom-fitted to their business needs.
If you’d like to know more about the cloud options available to you, visit our custom cloud advantage page, and select the icon in the top right titled “PPM Cloud Choices.” You can also visit our PPM or SharePoint Custom Cloud pages to get immediate information about Project Server 2013 Cloud Pricing, Trials, or other options such as Microsoft’s Project Online.

Project Hosts™ has released an updated version of its online Pricing Configurator for hosted Microsoft Project Server 2013 solutions. The PPM Pricing Configurator supports “what-if” scenarios to aid customers and partners in determining the optimal price point for a custom-configured Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) Cloud solution.The PPM Pricing Configurator is easy to use, includes built-in help for each available option, and once submitted, a pricing summary is calculated and a sample Visio architectural diagram is automatically rendered. Also included is a tool that compares our PPM Custom Cloud prices to the cost of a company hosting Project Server 2013 in their own on-premise, private cloud.
The PPM cloud pricing configurator can be accessed directly at www.projecthosts.com/pricing by selecting “Project Server 2013” at top right.
The system enables Project Server 2013 evaluators and buyers, such as business decision makers, procurement professionals and technology managers to easily perform pricing / configuration calculations against parameters such as:
- Number of Users & Type of Access (i.e. PWA / Project Professional / Remote Desktop / SharePoint only)
- Dedicated Physical and/or Virtual Servers for Project Server, SharePoint and SQL
- Amount of Storage and Backup (based on expected size of database and frequency of backup)
- License Provider (whether licenses are company-owned or rented)
- Active Directory Integration to an on-site AD (for single-sign-on, SSO, capabilities)
- Advanced Reporting from Excel or SQL via OLAP services
- Contract Term (of hosting contract including month-to-month and yearly)
- Comparison to cost of on-premise, private cloud deployments

Ron Luchansky – Director, Partner Engagement for Project Hosts – Convergence 2013
This week we are attending Microsoft Convergence 2013 in New Orleans – learning all there is to know about Dynamics CRM solutions. And now, at about the halfway point, we can report that the event has exceeded our expectations. Not only are we seeing a lot of interest in our CRM and SharePoint Custom Cloud solutions, but many partners showcasing their Dynamics CRM solutions are reporting that customer interest in CRM Clouds is on the rise.
Scott Chapman – CEO Project Hosts (far right) – Joins the band for a few songs at our Partner Event on Bourbon St.
This was also echoed by a number of leading Dynamics CRM solution providers at a private event we held last night at Patrick O’Brien’s on Bourbon St. It was the perfect venue in which to discuss new business, enjoy some great food, overlook the chaos on Bourbon Street from the balcony, and listen to some great Jazz. Scott Chapman, our CEO, even joined in with the band for a few Dixieland songs. Thanks to all who attended.

Project Hosts announced today that it is supporting the new release of Microsoft Project and Portfolio Management, Microsoft Project Server 2013, with its Custom Cloud solutions. With this release, customers and partners now have three distinct cloud options for hosted Project Server 2013 solutions: hosting their own on-premise “private cloud,” a Project Hosts’ PPM Custom Cloud, or Microsoft’s Project Online “standard multitenant cloud.”
Customers can choose to host their own “private cloud” instance of Project Server 2013, either on-premise or in their own data center facility. A Project Server 2013 private cloud offers the maximum degree of customization and configuration to support an organization’s specific security requirements, dedicated solutions architecture, third party applications, custom code, and specialized reporting.
Customers can also choose the just-released Microsoft Project Online offering which is a “standard multitenant cloud.” Project Online delivers an on-demand solution for companies who don’t need dedicated servers, high levels of customization, white-glove service, or support for custom code.
Project Hosts offers a cloud option for Project Server 2013 that combines the benefits of both a standard cloud and private cloud for enterprise customers. Project Hosts’ “PPM Custom Cloud” delivers the business and technology advantages of a private cloud, but without all the costs and complexities of a similarly configured on-premise environment. A PPM Custom Cloud from Project Hosts is designed to allow both Microsoft partners and enterprise customers to precisely define their solution architecture, while also having the ability to directly access and control critical elements of the hosted solution. For a quick comparison of Project Hosts’ cloud family click here.
