What is Sharepoint?
SharePoint is a web application framework and platform developed by Microsoft, it integrates intranet, content management and document management.
It comprises a multipurpose set of Web technologies backed by a common technical infrastructure. By default, SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite. The web tools are intended for non-technical users. SharePoint can provide intranet portals, document & file management, collaboration, social networks, extranets, websites, enterprise search, and business intelligence along with system integration, process integration, and workflow automation capabilities.
If you are interested in saving and sharing personal documents with selected individuals, then we recommend that you use OneDrive from within your account.
If you are interested in developing a site to be accessed by the general population and/or the information residing within it needs to be managed by others within the organization, then an independent SharePoint site is recommended.
Faculty and staff may request the activation of a SharePoint site for use as described above. A request must be submitted in addition to the completion of on-line training, which must be completed before the site can be activated.
