Microsoft Office Project 2003 Offerings Microsoft Office Project 2003 provides two offerings for your work and people management needs: Microsoft Office Project Standard 2003 is the standalone desktop program for Microsoft Office users who want to effectively plan, track and communicate project information but who do not require Web-based coordination or collaboration with other project participants; enterprise standardization across projects; or the ability to manage enterprise resources from a central resource pool. Project Standard 2003 is ideal for Microsoft Office users who want to make an impact at work, and helps them plan, manage, and communicate project information, resulting in increased productivity and effectiveness. The Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution brings together client, server, and Web-based technologies to enable organizations, departments, and teams to efficiently manage their projects, people, and processes through familiar tools. The Microsoft Office EPM Solution consists of the following core Microsoft Office Project 2003 products and technologies. Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003 is the Microsoft Office enterprise project management program in the EPM Solution. Project Professional is used by project managers for effectively planning projects, optimizing resource assignments, and implementing repeatable project management processes. Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 is the extensible platform that supports the EPM Solution. Project Server 2003 enables organizations to centralize and standardize project and resource information for greater visibility and consistent reporting across an entire work portfolio. Microsoft Office Project Web Access is the Web portal in the EPM Solution. Project Web Access provides project teams with access to information stored in Project Server and promotes participation through familiar Web-based tools. This document focuses on new features and functionality in Microsoft Office Project Standard 2003.
