N-Axis Offers full fledged business Scenario based Customizations and Integrations combining Project Server, TFS and MOSS.
Project Server
Project Server, or more accurately the Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solution, addresses the following business imperatives:
- Portfolio Management
- Project Management
- Resource Management
- Time Management
- Project Tracking
Team Foundation Server (TFS)
Team Foundation Server (TFS) from Microsoft is an integrated solution for collaboration between different disciplines within software development.
The core TFS modules are:
- Work Item Tracking System
- Source Code Control System
- Build Management
- Test Automation
- Reporting System
Limitations of TFS and Complementary Project Server features
- TFS does not manage the fiscal aspects of the project; Project Server on the other hand has strong support for fiscal data management (resource cost rates, budget resources and cost resources).
- The development projects are typically executed in TSFS and TFS; ongoing maintenance work is executed in other system. Development work accounts for less than half of the IT budget. Project Server can track all the work across the organization; app dev projects as well as maintenance work.
Team Foundation Server is the execution platform and Project Server is the enterprise planning platform. Team Foundation Server is well suited for a project development teams. Project Server is a great decision support system for the business decision makers. The 2010 release is really going to make TFS the premier tool for managing software development projects. And in partnership with MS Project and Project Server the set of tools can tackle just about any scope of project management.
