OnePlan launched NextGen PPM, a dedicated migration solution for organizations moving from Microsoft Project Online before its September 2026 retirement.
The process is accelerated and automated, promising a complete production migration in less than twelve weeks.
It uses a step-by-step sprint methodology for system setup, data validation, and user acceptance testing.
The migration maps all key project elements—resources, schedules, financials—directly into OnePlan to avoid costly process re-engineering.
The announcement coincides with enhancements to OnePlan's Sofia GPT, an AI-powered personal assistant embedded in the platform.
OnePlan is a multi-year Global Microsoft Project and Portfolio Management Partner of the Year.
A Structured Path Off a Retiring Platform
The impending retirement of Microsoft Project Online creates an urgent need for a reliable migration path. OnePlan's NextGen PPM is designed as a turnkey service, beginning with technical readiness and advancing through focused sprints for configuration, sample data migration, full test migration, and final production cutover. This structured approach, supported by OnePlan's OneConnect technology, aims to provide PMOs and project leaders with clarity and confidence, transforming a complex IT project into a predictable, well-managed transition.
Preserving Investment and Unlocking Modern Capabilities
A core value proposition of the NextGen PPM migration is its focus on preserving an organization's existing project data and structure. By directly mapping all key elements—projects, resources, schedules, financials, and site data—into the new platform, OnePlan enables teams to avoid the high cost and disruption of extensive process re-engineering. This allows organizations to quickly move beyond the migration itself and start leveraging OnePlan's modern capabilities, such as real-time dashboards, advanced portfolio modeling, and integrated financial planning.
Enhanced by AI and Deeper Platform Integrations
The migration offering is bolstered by significant enhancements to the OnePlan platform itself. A key advancement is Sofia GPT, an AI-powered personal assistant embedded directly into the platform that uses natural language to help users automate tasks, generate insights, and accelerate decision-making. Additional new features include streamlined strategic planning tools, built-in real-time reporting to replace external BI tools, and expanded integrations with platforms like Trello, which collectively aim to reduce manual effort and improve time-to-value for new customers.
For enterprises facing the mandatory shift from Project Online, OnePlan's NextGen PPM positions itself as a comprehensive solution that combines a proven migration methodology with a modern, AI-enhanced PPM platform. This allows project offices to transition efficiently while upgrading their strategic management capabilities in a single move.
