New guide outlines a proven roadmap to simplify delivery, embrace Microsoft's AI-powered platform, and future-proof project and work management operations
MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / May 20, 2025 / Innovative-e and CPS, both recognized Microsoft Partner of the Year award winners, are proud to announce the official release of their co-authored whitepaper, Modernizing Your Project and Work Management Estate: Why, When, and How. This comprehensive guide delivers a clear roadmap for organizations looking to future-proof their project and work management practices by transitioning from legacy applications and disconnected SaaS to a unified, AI-enhanced project and work management experience on the Microsoft platform.
Innovative-e
Co-written by industry leaders Mike Taylor, CEO of Innovative-e and DigiOps, and Lester Lovelock, Head of Practice for Modern Work Management at CPS, the whitepaper presents a compelling call to action for organizations to align with Microsoft's platform-first, AI-enabled, cloud-native strategy.
"Modernizing now isn't optional - it's how organizations maximize value and stay ahead," said Mike Taylor. "This guide gives leaders the clarity and confidence to harness Copilot and AI today and transform before disruption forces reactive decisions."
Key topics include:
Why platform-first modernization is the new standard
Why transition off legacy and 3rd party apps
How Microsoft's AI-powered tools like Teams, Copilot, and Planner are transforming project execution
Real-world modernization success stories from organizations like Network Rail, Carolinas Telco, and SNHU
Actionable strategies for planning and executing a smooth transition
Since Microsoft stopped innovation on Project and Project Online years ago and feature deprecation is occurring, this whitepaper arrives at a critical moment. It offers a timely resource for project leaders, PMOs, CIOs, and transformation teams navigating change, risk, and the growing demand for AI-powered work.
"Too many teams are stuck managing work in outdated systems that limit collaboration and visibility," added Lester Lovelock. "This paper gives them a way forward - with clarity, structure, and alignment to Microsoft's modern work vision."
