Difference between Dynamics 365 Project Operations vs PSA

Since the latest version of project management tools, ‘Microsoft Project Operations," is here, it succeeds Project Service Automation (PSA) and project planning tools, with a more evolved version of these tools with additional capabilities. 

Although we have already shared an update on the new release in 2020 with news releases, Microsoft has also stated that it is committed to making it a frictionless migration for PSA users. You might have hundreds of questions about how this quick disruption will impact your current projects. 

If you have already migrated to Project Operations and are curious about the benefits of the migration. In this blog, we will provide you with a major difference between the newly launched D365 Project Operations and PSA, so you have an improved understanding of what you got with the decision to make the switch from PSA to PO. 

So, let's get started. 

Introduction to D365 Project Operations

Dynamics 365 Project Operations is the latest application that combines the capabilities of sales, resourcing, project management, and financial teams into a single tool to assist you in winning more business, completing projects faster, and making more money. In short, it offers everything you get in Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation (PSA) and Dynamics 365 Finance, which provide a comprehensive solution for managing project-based businesses. 

For instance, Project Operations incorporates some of the project management accounting and expense management elements of D365 Finance, as well as Microsoft Project planning and scheduling capabilities (formerly unavailable in PSA).

This includes features such as:

Project planning

Resource utilization and optimization

Forecasting (e.g., expected resources, time, expenses etc)

Time and expenses tracking

Project budgeting (current, expected, and how they compare)

Business intelligence

After recent updates in its Wave 2 releases, D365 Project Operations is suited to more roles within the business than PSA, including:

Account managers

Project managers

Resource managers

Project accountants

COO

Why did Microsoft create Dynamics 365 Project Operations?

Microsoft developed project operations because it wanted customers to have a single solution to manage everything, they need to effectively manage a project.

Here are several factors that motivated it:

Users were confused about which Microsoft project management tool—Project, PSA, or Dynamics 365 Finance—would be ideal for them.

There was some functional overlap between these programs.

PSA users missed Microsoft Project's mature project planning features.

Many organizations serve their project business using a combination of PSA, Dynamics 365 Finance, and Project. 

Some have been working on integrating these items to bring their capabilities together.

Project-based enterprises typically seek an end-to-end solution that covers the complete project cycle and meets project services demands.

Benefits of moving to Project Operations: Today's project-based services market is competitive. Businesses face many challenges in closing new deals, completing projects faster, and raising profit margins. Yet many of these companies use independent, disconnected systems for sales, collaboration, project management, and financials.

Project operations can provide a variety of benefits that you might not experience with PSA. Which are:

You can get business insights to increase visibility across all teams, data, and processes, plus AI capabilities for proactive actions and recommendations.

You can win more deals and accelerate the sales cycle with fast and accurate quotes, flexible pricing, and seamless transitions from estimate to execution.

You can optimize your resources with intelligent and skills-based assignments, increase utilization, and foster collaboration across teams.

You can deliver profitable projects on time and within budget with streamlined project management, time and expense tracking, and project costing and billing.

You can simplify project accounting with real-time financial insights, compliant revenue recognition, and integration with Dynamics 365 Finance.

Project Operations and PSA differences:

Project operations and project service automation are solutions for managing and automating whole projects. They share similarities, but have many differences too, which you can consider finding out what's new with the all-new D365 Project Operations. The differences between PO and PSA can be many, but here are the most relevant:

Project Operations has a unified project management experience that spans from sales to delivery to finance, while PSA focuses on project delivery.

Project Operations has a modern user interface consistent with other Dynamics 365 applications. PSA has a legacy user interface based on the Common Data Service platform.

Project Operations has enhanced features for project accounting, invoicing, and revenue recognition, while PSA has limited features for these functions.

Project Operations has built-in integration with Microsoft Project for the web, while PSA requires a separate add-in for Microsoft Project.

D365 Project Operations covers both the front and back offices.

How to migrate from PSA to Project Operations Project operations can be your best choice to get started with one of the rare tools that can help you gain valuable insights and find solutions that are easy to implement and use. For PSA users below, we have given them a quick road map to make their PO migration quick and simple. 

Prepare your PSA environment for an upgrade by resolving any data issues, disabling any custom plugins or workflows, and backing up your data.

Update your customizations to cleanly import Project Operations by using the Upgrade Analyzer tool and resolving any conflicts or errors.

End-to-end testing in development environments by initiating the upgrade in the Power Platform admin center and verifying Project Operations functionality and data integrity.

Upgrade your production environment by repeating the same steps as in the development environment and notifying your users about the changes.

Wise words With the release of Project operations in 2021, release wave 1 plan.  Microsoft stopped selling PSA from 1 October 2020 when project operations became available. Since then, no new licenses can be purchased, and it stopped renewing existing PSA licenses. Support and updates for PSA will also be discontinued in October 2024. 

If you currently have active Project Service Automation licences, you can install and use Project Operations, which has all the features of Project Service Automation and more.

PSA users will not be faced with immediate changes, but they are given enough time between their two (CSP contracts) and four (Enterprise Agreement Contracts) to transition to project operations. As promised by Microsoft, users will have a frictionless data upgrade from PSA to PO. 

PSA users can get help from partners like Soluzione. We are a Microsoft Gold Partner Software Development Company that has assisted hundreds of businesses with absolute tech solutions for their businesses. We will guide you through all the ups and downs, so you can make the switch at your own pace. And once you are ready to move, we will provide you with migration tools to execute the process seamlessly.

I’m working on a MAP part for THIS awesome Marble Hornets-themed project, and I wanted to share a few of my favorite frames from my WIP! The final stretch of my part is going to include 7 halfbodies and 7 fully-rendered backgrounds though, so uh… it’s not gonna be done for a while. I did this to myself (but man, I think it’s gonna turn out cool at least!)

Here you have it folks!

Not Pfizer or Moderna, but the US government pioneered mRNA.  DARPA (US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) began investing in gene-encoded vaccines in 2012.

In other words, the military came up with the idea of messenger RNA vaccines, not Pfizer or Moderna.

i think maybe the reason tango went and got blown up by moon bunnies in season eight is that he hadn't had an excuse to do some obscene electrical engineering task in survival minecraft yet that season. didn't have enrichment, had to make up something to do to replace "what if i reminded people that programming is all, once you get far enough down and are just at electrical engineering and discrete math, signals that are either on or off", tried to turn the moon off to prove a point, got blown up by moon bunnies. or something.

my point is: why is he doing binary encoding in minecraft,

when toby first got sick with O/S syndrome and went around butchering nearby hikers and attacking the proxies, he was found eating one of his victims.

when tim and brian finally captured him so they could 'detach' him from the operator, they put the muzzle-type mask on him specifically because of what they saw(and his several, occasionally successful, attempts at biting them). nobody, including toby, knows how many people he took chunks out of during his time under the operator.

he gets kinda queasy thinking too much about it, and tries to insist it was only the single person. he insists that it was desperation and starvation since the operator didn't let toby feed himself normally. others thinks he keeps the mask because its cool or he's too lazy to get another one, but part of him is trying to protect himself from what might happen if the operator takes over again. the only person who knows it wasn't from desperation is kate.

idk if this is a hot take but I don't think Armin is friendly. I think people find him generally off-putting. Like, people think he looks sweet, but also find him strange; for the topics that interest him, the way he didn't stray far from Eren (& Mikasa) socially, and his general demeanor.

I think that as Armin established himself more as he grew up, he developed better interpersonal skills that compliment his rhetorical prowess. I think he's the type of person who sees value in life and in minimizing harm. He offers kindness to his friends and understanding to all. But I don't see him as particularly "friendly"

people on twitter are discoursing about whether xie lian’s chastity-based cultivation is a form of abuse (?????) which is so backward to me like huh???? yes jun wu’s thing about xie lian being a virgin is fucking creepy and weird and part of his overall obsession and desire to control him. but did they just completely miss the part where xie lian chose this method of cultivation bc the abstinence wasn’t an issue for him? he got hit by sex pollen and never once thought of sex? he didn’t even cultivate for 700 years and just never had sex because he never wanted to and as soon as he found a guy he wanted to fuck he just went for it? literally didn’t even pause to consider the cultivation thing at any point. if this were any other character it might have been used against him but the whole point is xie lian once again perfectly dodging jun wu’s manipulation attacks by just being a weird little guy with autism
