SharePoint Server (Microsoft)
SharePoint Server is a software platform for collaboration and web publishing that combines a number of capabilities under a single server. These capabilities include:
- Portal
- Content management system
- Business intelligence
- Search
- Wikis
- Blogs
- Application development
It enables users to perform a number of common tasks, but without having to install a separate server for each function, such as:
- Publishing a website or intranet
- Searching for content
- Managing content
- Creating applications
Here at the University of Minnesota, with few exceptions, we are utilizing the Google infrastructure solutions.
