PMO consultants reviewing portfolio management dashboard

Grow your business with PPMX

Thousands of independent consultants built their practices around Microsoft Project Online. That platform is retiring. The organizations they serve need a credible path forward — and you're the person they trust to show them one.

Who This Is For

Built for people who know PPM

This isn't a program for generalist IT resellers. It's for practitioners who have lived inside enterprise project management — and who have clients looking to them right now for answers.

Why PPMX

A platform worth recommending

Your reputation is on the line every time you recommend a product. Here's why PPMX holds up.

17 Years of enterprise PPM

PPMX is built by EPMA — a four-time Inc. 5000 consulting firm with a 17-year track record and 100% client project success rate. Not a startup. Not a pivot.

0 Microsoft dependency

Zero SharePoint. Zero Teams. Zero Microsoft 365 license required. Azure-native but fully standalone. Your clients won't be in this position again.

6-8 Weeks to live

A deployment timeline that works within the Project Online retirement window. Not a 6-month implementation that outlasts the deadline.

✓ Designed for adoption

Governance that teams actually use. Role-based UX. Guided workflows. The failure mode of every PPM implementation — ignored tools — was the problem PPMX was built to solve.

AI Avery — not just a feature

PPMX's embedded AI project partner is built with the UFAIR ethical framework at her core. She's a genuine differentiator — not a chatbot added to check a box.

→ EPMA stays involved

Your clients get the software and the firm behind it. Implementation Partners get a co-delivery model backed by 17 years of enterprise PMO expertise.

Common Questions

What you're probably asking

Straightforward answers. If you have more, contact us directly.

What kind of practice does PPMX look for in a partner?

We look for practitioners with hands-on PPM experience, whether that's Project Online implementation, PMO advisory, or enterprise technology consulting. You don't need to have worked with EPMA before. We evaluate on practice fit and the clients you serve.

What does Implementation Partner training involve?

EPMA will train you on the full PPMX platform — configuration, data migration from Project Online, governance design, and go-live. Training is structured to get you to independent delivery capability. Details confirmed at application stage.

Can I be both a Referral and Implementation Partner?

Yes. If you have some clients where you want to refer and collect a fee, and others where you want to run the implementation yourself, we can accommodate both within the same partnership arrangement.

Is this program relevant outside of the Project Online migration window?

Yes. The September 30 deadline creates an immediate opportunity, but PPMX is a long-term platform — not a migration tool. Partners who establish their practice now will be positioned for ongoing client advisory and implementation work well beyond 2026.

How does PPMX handle existing Project Online data during migration?

EPMA has direct experience migrating enterprise clients from Project Online. Implementation Partners receive training on EPMA's migration methodology. Clients can bring their data over — or use the migration as a reset opportunity, which EPMA typically recommends.

What support is available after my first implementation?

Implementation Partners have access to EPMA's partner success team throughout the relationship — not just during onboarding. We succeed when your implementations succeed. That's not a tagline; it's how EPMA has operated for 17 years.
