ProjectPoint

by Bauer Automate

A governed project site, standing up this afternoon, without a ticket to IT.

Flag a project in your register and the workspace appears: the site, the libraries, the content types, the permissions, the navigation and a Planner board, built the same way every time. It is SharePoint, in your tenant, and the lists are yours whether or not we are here next year.

Inconsistency is the tax nobody puts on the invoice. Standardised project workspaces help you:

  • Start every project in a structured site instead of somebody's inbox
  • Keep risks, decisions, budgets and stakeholders in the same place on every project
  • Roll data up across projects because every project stores it the same way
  • Hand a project over without a guided tour of where things happen to be this time
  • Remove IT from the critical path of starting work
  • Keep documents, time and registers inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant


Project nine looks like project one, and the register knows where everything is.

What This Is Costing You Right now

Every project site is a little bit different

One project keeps its risks in a Word file, one in a list, one in somebody's inbox. Nothing rolls up, nothing compares, and every handover starts with a tour of where things happen to be this time.

Standing up a site is a ticket, and the ticket waits

The project starts anyway. Documents land in email and in personal OneDrive, and by the time the site exists the first three weeks of the project are not in it and never will be.

Project Online switches off on 30 September 2026

When it goes, access to the service and the project data inside it goes with it. Microsoft's own onward path is Planner Premium, which is a step down for anyone using timesheets, resource pools or portfolio governance.

The tool you were using got retired out from under you

ShareGate retired provisioning entirely on 29 August 2025. Valo reached end of life on 31 July 2025. If you built your project sites on either one, you are replacing it whether that was this year's plan or not.

What We Deliver:

ProjectPoint is a project workspace, not a scheduling engine. It answers where the documents live, who has access, and what was decided. It does not try to answer what order the tasks go in, because Microsoft already does that well.

1. The Project Register

A single Projects list that is the index of every project you run, with the control column that fires provisioning.
  • One row per project: name, dates, owner
  • The control flag that starts the build
  • Every project record auto linked back to its site and its Planner board
  • The register stays the map, rather than a list nobody updates

2. Automated Provisioning

One flag in the register, and the whole workspace exists a few minutes later, cloned from one golden template.
  • Site creation and hub association
  • Hub navigation updated with audience targeting
  • Site features, permissions, content types and site columns
  • List structure, library structure and site navigation
  • Default folder content, so the site is usable on arrival

3. The Workspace on Arrival

Nobody opens the new site and finds an empty page waiting for them.
  • A Planner board created with the project and seeded with your template tasks, on the Planner entitlement your Microsoft 365 licences already include
  • A dynamic homepage with the project's own name, dates and owner written into it

4. The Four Project Registers

Available from the Portfolio tier. Pre wired into the provisioned site rather than assembled by hand on every project.
  • Budget register
  • Risk register
  • Stakeholder register
  • Decision log

5. Time and Budget Capture

Available from the Portfolio tier. The hours your team bills are a project record too, so they live where the project lives: as rows in a SharePoint list in your own tenant.
  • Project lead and resource contributor time and budget feedback
  • Project timesheet entry
  • A shipped browser extension for Edge and Chrome with start and stop timers in the side panel
  • Several timers at once, with the wall clock split evenly between them so the total never inflates past the time that actually passed
  • A week view where unlogged days stand out, and a month view that answers "am I on pace"
  • Power BI reporting, email digests and a client ready weekly progress summary, all over data you already own

Zero tenant setup. It rides your existing sign in, with no Entra app and no admin consent, and the record never leaves SharePoint.

6. Optional Add-Ons

Quoted separately from the licence, and buyable at any tier. The template that ships is the product; your template is a service.
  • Designing and building your own golden template
  • Installation, configuration, training, data migration and change management communications
  • Priority support, one tier above the included queue
  • Maintenance and updates, offered on the quote at signature

Who This Is For

ProjectPoint is for teams who run enough projects that consistency has become the problem.

Project Management Offices

Ten or more projects a year, where nobody remembers how the last one was set up.

Professional Services

Client projects that need registers, time capture and a defensible record.

Engineering and Construction

Document heavy projects where the library structure has to be the same every time.

Municipalities and Non-Profits

Governance and audit expectations, without a governance budget.

Anyone Replacing a Retired Tool

Project Online, ShareGate provisioning or Valo, on somebody else's timeline.

Teams Already Living in SharePoint

You are paying Microsoft for it. This uses what you already own.

If your project leads should not need a ticket to start a project, this is built for you.

How it Works

1. We set up the register and the template

The Projects list goes into your tenant, and the golden template is configured to match how your projects actually run.

2. Your project lead adds a project

A row in the register: name, dates, owner. The same thing they would have emailed IT about.

3. The workspace is built

Site, permissions, content types, lists, libraries, navigation, folders, Planner board and homepage, in one run, from the template.

4. The register keeps the map

The project record links to its site and its board, so the register stays the index of everything rather than a list nobody updates.

Buy it, run the setup flow, and it is running this afternoon

No sales call to get a price. No quote to wait for. No admin ticket to open. You buy it, you get the solution file, and a setup flow provisions the site once: lists, libraries, views, content types and settings, all of it, without us in the room. Then you use it.

Compare that to the alternatives: fill in a form, wait for a call, get a quote, book an installation with your SharePoint administrator, or pay for a mandatory setup service. Go and check. Open any comparable SharePoint product and look at the button on their pricing page. We will wait.

How It Is Packaged

Three tiers of one suite. Registry and Portfolio are ready to go today; Platform routes an enterprise conversation. 
All three are built on the Microsoft 365 you already own.

Always cumulative. Nothing you have is removed by moving up, and a tier upgrade inside 90 days is fully credited.

The full breakdown lists every feature by tier, the add-ons, and everything that is not built at any tier.

100% Upgrade Credit

Move up a tier within 90 days and everything you paid for the tier below is credited toward the one above, up to the full amount, once per customer. Moving up adds scope. It does not replace anything you already bought.


Maintenance and updates

Not a bug fix contract. It is the work of keeping a provisioning engine running while Microsoft changes what it provisions into. Microsoft deleted the multi tenant PnP Management Shell application on 9 September 2024, and every tool built on it stopped working that day. Offered on the quote at signature, so nobody has to remember to ask later.

What ProjectPoint Is Not

We would rather you found this out here than in month three.

Not a scheduling engine. No critical path, no baselines, no resource levelling. If that is the need, Microsoft's tools do it and we will point you there.

Not tenant wide governance. No sprawl reporting, no permissions auditing, no guest lifecycle, and no archival of finished sites. Those are a different product, a different buyer and usually a different budget.

Not a billing system. Rates, invoicing export and utilisation live at the Platform tier only. If time to rate to invoice is the whole job, a billing engine is a better fit today.

Not a Project Online migration path. ProjectPoint does not read Project Online and does not import from it.

Not multi template. There is one golden template. Selection by project type is not built.

Not retroactive. Template improvements are not re applied to sites already provisioned. A site built in month one does not receive month nine's template.

Not an approval workflow. There is no approval routing for a submitted project timesheet at any tier.

Project Online Is Retiring. Here Is the Honest Version.

Project Online shuts down on 30 September 2026, and access to the project data inside it goes with the service. Export what you need before that date, whoever you end up buying from. That is the single most useful sentence on this page and it costs us nothing to write it.

A retirement date is not a reason to rush a purchase, but it is a hard reason to rush an export. At minimum, get out:

  • Project and task data, including custom fields
  • Timesheet and actual work history, which is the part nobody can reconstruct later
  • Resource pool and assignment records
  • Enterprise custom fields and lookup tables
  • Anything sitting in project sites: documents, risks, issues and deliverables
  • Saved reports and their underlying queries, so you know what people were actually measuring


Export to something boring and readable. CSV and Excel age better than a proprietary backup format from a vendor you may not be using in two years.


ProjectPoint does not migrate Project Online data. There is no migration tool here and we are not going to imply there is one this close to the date. If somebody needs your Project Online history moved into a new system, we are not that, and there are vendors who have shipped exactly that accelerator this year. We will name them.


What we can do is be the workspace your projects run in afterwards, and have it standing up in days rather than in a procurement cycle. If your projects are about to have nowhere to live, that is the conversation worth having.

Why Not Just Use Planner Premium?

Planner Premium is a scheduling engine

It answers what tasks, in what order, by when. That is a real job and it does it properly. It does not answer where the documents live, who has access to them, what the risks are, who the stakeholders are, or what was decided and why.

It stores in Dataverse, not SharePoint

So there is no project site, no document library, no content types, no site columns, no navigation and no permissions model attached to the project, and no risk, stakeholder or decision register at any tier. Project for the Web, the closest thing to a SharePoint story, retired in August 2025.

We are not competing with the Gantt chart

If what you need is critical path, baselines and resource levelling, buy Microsoft's and we will tell you so in the first call. ProjectPoint provisions the workspace and creates the Planner board inside it. Most teams end up running both.

How Long It Takes

Registry and Portfolio are self install, so the software is running the same afternoon you buy it. What takes time is the template, and that depends on:

  • How settled your project structure already is
  • Whether you are bringing an existing site to use as the golden template
  • How many permissions groups and content types need to be reflected
  • Whether data migration or change management communications are in scope

Most golden template builds land in one to three weeks. We work iteratively so you are provisioning real projects early.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. ProjectPoint does not read Project Online and there is no import tool. We are the workspace your projects run in afterwards. If moving the history matters more than the workspace, we will point you at vendors who built that accelerator.

Someone who can import a solution into a Power Platform environment and sign in as a SharePoint site owner to run setup once. After that, your project leads run it and nobody needs administrator rights to start a project.

No. There is no new subscription, no new data processor and no OAuth grant sitting on your tenant. Everything runs on the Microsoft 365 you already pay for.

Yes. ProjectPoint provisions the workspace and seeds the Planner board inside it, so the tools your team already knows sit inside the governed site rather than beside it.

That is exactly what maintenance covers. Microsoft deleted the multi tenant PnP Management Shell application on 9 September 2024 and every tool built on it stopped working that day. Maintenance is offered on the quote at signature.

Yes, and the upgrade credit is built for that. Move up within 90 days and what you paid for the lower tier is credited toward the higher one, up to the full amount, once per customer. Nothing you already have is removed by moving up.

The sites are still there, the lists are still readable, and the data still exports to Excel. That is not a promise about our longevity; it is a structural fact about where the data sits.
