Project Management Software | Campana & Schott

Many PM tools are implemented—but rarely used. The reason is rarely the software itself, but rather a lack of alignment with the organization and poor implementation quality. We advise you on tool selection, implement the CS PPM Power Suite as a standalone Microsoft-native solution, and ensure that your PM tool is truly adopted. This gives you more than just a tool: transparency into your portfolio, resources, and budgets—serving as the foundation for better decisions.

Why PM Tools Fail—and How We're Doing It Better

The problem is well known: Companies invest in PM software that ends up gathering dust on the shelf after implementation. It’s too complex, not tailored enough to their own processes, and not sufficiently integrated into their day-to-day work. The result: Projects continue to run in parallel in Excel and email.

At the same time, the pressure is mounting: Microsoft is discontinuing Project Online as of September 30, 2026. Tens of thousands of organizations are faced with the question of how to upgrade their PPM solution—without losing their accumulated data and processes and without ending up in another tool dead end.

Important Information: Microsoft Project Online Is Being Discontinued

Microsoft has announced that Project Online will no longer be available as of October 1, 2026.
To help you prepare, we are providing you with all the relevant information and alternatives:

Have You Ever Been In This Situation?

Low user acceptance

“We implemented an expensive PPM tool—but after six months, hardly anyone is using it anymore.”

Transformation & IT Management

Uncertainty Surrounding the Successor to Project Online

“We're using Microsoft Project Online—and we don't know what will happen after it's discontinued.”

IT Management / CIO

Lack of integration with Microsoft 365

“We want a tool that fits into our Microsoft 365 ecosystem—without a new technology stack.”

Business & IT Management

Project management software rarely fails due to a lack of features. More often than not, the tool doesn’t fit the processes, isn’t accepted by users, or requires a great deal of effort to integrate into the existing IT landscape. At the same time, the discontinuation of Microsoft Project Online is forcing many companies to rethink their strategy. We help you select the right solution, implement it successfully, and embed it sustainably into your daily workflow.

Many PM Tools Are Introduced. Only a Few Are Actually Used.

A lack of buy-in, complex processes, and poor integration cause project teams to fall back on Excel, email, and siloed solutions. As a result, transparency, manageability, and the expected benefits fall by the wayside.

We help you select the right project management software, successfully implement it, and embed it sustainably within your organization.

With the CS PPM Power Suite, we offer our own, fully Microsoft-native PPM solution with an active AI roadmap. Developed based on our hands-on experience in management consulting—a combination rarely found in Europe.

Methodology and technology from a single source.

We’re not just implementers—we understand project management methodology. That’s what makes our tool implementations more sustainable and effective than purely technical projects.

Project Online Migration: Best Practices.

We have carried out Project Online migrations for a wide range of customers and developed a proven migration strategy—to ensure minimal risk and maximum data continuity.

Adoption instead of implementation.

We design tools with the user in mind. Our implementation processes incorporate change management, training, and communication—not as afterthoughts, but as core elements.

Our People Make the Difference.

What sets us apart in the market isn't just our methods—it's the people who bring them to life. Experienced, principled, and approachable.
