Microsoft PPM Solution Envisioning for Public Sector

Massive transformation in the public sector means that portfolio, project and transformation offices are busier than ever. Yet many are still held back by inefficient manual processes, disconnected data sets and the ever-ongoing struggle of engaging stakeholders. Meet others in similar positions in the public sector, and understand the opportunities at your fingertips to address these challenges with the Microsoft cloud platform already owned by your organisation.

Understand how Microsoft cloud services can be deployed quickly and with little budget

As most public sector organisation are already invested in Microsoft cloud, there is an obvious path: apply the platform you already own to the challenges of the PMO. This event will help you make sense of Microsoft services so you can create a deployment strategy that meets your maturity and budget. 

The modern Microsoft Project is at the heart of this, and so are services like Teams, Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI. An amazing platform to unite all your data in one place, as the basis for collaboration, automation, integration and great reporting.

Audience

This event is for PMO Leads or similar senior roles from public sector organisations, who want to gather the information they need to formulate their own tooling strategy, with the aim of making best use of their Microsoft cloud to address Project Portfolio Management challenges.
