I am trying to evalute whether MSP is the right product for our company, but there is so much information out there it's difficult to work out if it can meet our specific requirements, so I thought I would ask the Forum.
We are a small business, 6 people, and we would use MSP to track Jobs that we work on. We are an Office365 company, so I'm looking at MSP because it should be able to integrate. Here are the key things we need, can you tell me if MSP can do this easily:
1. Customised Fields at both the Project and Task level.
2. Calculated Fields - For example, "Probability of Success" x "Forecast Fee for the Job" = Revenue Forecast
3. When someone finishes a Task, the Project can be setup to automatically trigger other Tasks for allocated people, and MSP will send those people an Outlook email notifying them to start their Task.
4. When someone finishes a Task, the Project can be setup to automatically trigger a Reminder Task at a future date, and when the date arrives it will trigger a reminder email via Outlook.
5. Summary Reports than can extract data from any field in the Project or Task. Perhaps via a fully integrated real time interface with Excel.

While waiting for your reply, I did some research on LinkedIn and found a Bruce Tweedie in Australia. If that is you, I don't think I can help you as the time zone differences would be too challenging. And if you are in Australia, I would encourage you to reach out to Sensei Project Solutions. I used to work for their US branch, but they have multiple locations in Australia, with top notch people. Hope this helps.

The Plan 1 subscription provides access to Project for the Web, and provides team member access to Project Online. Project Plan 3 provides project manager access to Project Online, and provides a license for Project Online Professional (aka the Microsoft Project desktop application). Project Plan 5 provides Administrator access to Project Online and provides a license for Project Online Professional. Hope this helps.
