The client’s organization was using Microsoft’s Project Server 2010 for seismic data processing services. With the emergence of Project Server Online (MSPO), Microsoft stopped providing mainstream support for this solution.
Client’s existing report database was enormous in volume, which increased the time taken to load and refresh individual reports. Backed by our offerings under Infosys Cobalt, we helped the client upgrade to Microsoft Project Server Online (MSPO) ,thus allowing them to reduce the loading time of the reports and the operating expenses.

- Transitioning to MS Project online without disrupting normal business processes
- Difficulty in accessing project data from any place and at any time
- Sluggishness in loading and refreshing reports owing to the sheer volume of the report database
