A Modern, Intuitive User Interface
Easy scheduling and planning to keep your projects on track.
Migrate Confidently to the New Microsoft Planner
Prepare for the Future of Project Management
Project Online retires on the 30th of September 2026. CPS helps you move smoothly to Microsoft’s intelligent, all-in-one Planner platform; with zero data loss and full team adoption.
Introducing Planner
If your organisation is still using Microsoft Project Online or on-premises versions such as Project Server 2013, 2016, or 2019, or even platforms like Monday.com, Asana, Trello, Smartsheet, or Project Operations or Project Service Automation (PSA), it’s time to explore the next generation of solutions.
Microsoft’s focus is now on the new Planner (Project for the web) —a modern, cloud-based platform that provides flexibility, innovation, and seamless collaboration.
Planner is your future-ready PPM platform:
- Manage all your work, from tasks to portfolios, in one intelligent system.
- Stay on track with AI-powered planning.
- Collaborate seamlessly across Teams and Microsoft 365.
- Build custom workflows and real-time dashboards using Power Platform and Power BI.
Seamless Integration with Microsoft 365
Work effortlessly within Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and more to centralise communication and resources.
Power Platform Integration
With the Microsoft Power Platform, the new Planner transforms into a customisable, enterprise-level PPM system. Build automated workflows, real-time dashboards, and advanced reporting tailored to your needs.

Our proven migration approach
At CPS, we make the transition to Microsoft Planner simple and secure. Our structured methodology ensures that every step is covered:
Assess & Plan
We start by reviewing your current ecosystem—whether that’s Project Online, Project Server, or other tools. Together, we define your future requirements, licensing needs, and stakeholder goals. We’ll also help build your business case, outlining costs, benefits, and ROI so you can secure buy-in with confidence.
Design & Prepare
Next, we design your new Microsoft Planner environment. This is where we reimagine integrations, workflows, and dashboards, ensuring your new solution aligns with your strategy while unlocking fresh opportunities with Power BI and Microsoft 365.
Migrate & Validate
When you’re ready, we migrate your data, permissions, and configurations into Planner. Every migration includes testing and validation to make sure your environment is accurate, stable, and ready for everyday use.
Adopt & Optimise
Finally, we support your teams with training and adoption programmes, while putting governance and reporting structures in place. From there, we help you unlock automation and AI features so your new solution doesn’t just replace Project Online—it drives measurable business value.
What You'll Achieve
The focus on innovation and cloud-based solutions means that legacy platforms and disconnected tools will increasingly fall behind. By making the move to the new Planner, you’re investing in a modern, future-proof PPM solution that delivers:
Unified Collaboration
Improved teamwork across your Microsoft ecosystem.
Scalable Platform
Works for both small projects and enterprise portfolios.
