“…we needed a tool that both supported our framework and the users. It had to be in the cloud, and it had to be fully supportive of our methods and processes. But perhaps most importantly, it had to appeal to our users: we knew that management’s visibility of benefits would happen if users embraced the use of the tool in their day-to-day jobs…”
Sean Nairn, Head of Product Services, BPAY Group
Our innovative approach using pmo365 was very important to the successful adoption of Microsoft Project Online. The Power BI component for BPAY allows them to focus on their business objectives all the time, providing the right service at the right time, in a true DevOps fashion.”
Laith Adel, General Manager, pmo365
Solution 1: A Cloud-Based Solution
pmo365 is entirely cloud-based. This means there is one secure database for all project management information. By configuring all data to this ‘single source of truth’ (your Power Platform ‘Dataverse’), you gain a high degree of visibility and intuitive, insightful views of portfolio performance.
For BPAY, this provided:
Increased Visibility For All Stakeholders
Easy Accessibility for All Users and Stakeholders
Increased Efficiency from Compiled Data
Automatically Generated Power BI Reports

Solution 2: Integration with Pre-Existing Systems
pmo365 is designed to integrate with other apps and connectors. It seamlessly pairs with over 900 Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications to create a solution which is tailored to your organisation. Your pmo365 DevOps squad will incorporate the most useful tools for each project activity, working with project managers and the PMO to maximise their capabilities.
For BPAY, pmo365 integrated the company’s entire financial system. Now, finance and project data automatically updates across the entire organisation. At the same time, pmo365 works with pre-existing systems, software, and business functions to maintain the very best user experience for all stakeholders.
“The introduction of Microsoft Project Online was very well received by BPAY Group. It’s built on Microsoft SharePoint, and has the ribbon experience that most Microsoft Office users are familiar with.”
Dan Stopher, Client Success Manager, pmo365
Solution 3: Easy. It’s that Simple
pmo365 is deployed to your own Microsoft 365 tenant, which means there is no building from scratch, no overheads, and no lock-in contracts – only customisation and integration of your existing data.
Additionally, most organisations already use Microsoft 365 so there is no need to move to a new
platform, and many users will already be familiar with the Microsoft products used in their pmo365 solution.
However, even if you haven’t been using Microsoft, pmo365 is designed to incorporate every application and source of data – with the most user-friendly and functional interfaces available. And we’ll customise your solution for the very best user experience. It’s that simple.
Solution 4: Robust Tools for All Project Management Needs
pmo365 is user-friendly and intuitive, but it has the power and scalability to support even the most complex project portfolios. The base solution is configured to be as straightforward or intricate as your projects require. Over time, you can then build on your solution to service any of your project management needs.
For BPAY, pmo365 needed to bring a large amount of project and financial data under the one umbrella, incorporating a large variety of users, functions, apps and connectors. Once deployed, however, the entire pmo365 Solution Library (and all new updates) are owned by the company for building new PPM capabilities into the future.
“This has been a very successful implementation. The tool is highly flexible and EPM Partners’ unique pmo365 services are first class. We have very successfully introduced a world-class PPM system that fully supports the PMO in its execution of projects at BPAY.”
