I am a big fan of Project Server 2013 now being offered as an Online/Cloud solution trough Office365. However, my second thoughts was around how to actually move my Project Server 2010 data to the Online solution in a smooth and painless way. Lucky for me, a company named FluentPro has made a very simple piece of software that easily allow for your 2010 data to be moved directly into you Project Online environment.
FluentPro offeres a simple and a pro edition of the software. I have decided to focus only on the pro-edition as this will work also on Project Online when it reaches RTM time, hopefully by the end of Q1 2013.
