Portfolio Server 2007 vs. 2010

[Scott Morrissey]

We have many custom fields, workflow steps, projects, ect. loaded in
Portfolio Server 2007. When we look at going to the new MS Project/Portfolio
2010 version, how much of this can be migrated to the 2010 version? Will we
have to re-build a lot of this from scratch in 2010 - or will there be a
migration tool to bring most or all of this configuration and data forward
into 2010? I asking specifically for PORTFOLIO configuration and data - not
Project data.

My belief is that there is no official migration path from PPS 2007 to MOPS
2010. I'd check to see if third party vendors opt to create any tools though.

The Gateway will continue to function so you can continue to use PPS2007
in parallel with MOPS 2010, as you then migrate by creating new projects
in MOPS 2010 until you can retire PPS.

(This is based on a quick review of the Ignite slides from the Project Conference
last September.)
