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.
