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.

Instructions for Departments
SharePoint Server is not in widespread use at the University, some of its features may be covered by other more widely adopted services, including ones offered through Google.
Like OneDrive, Sharepoint is not enabled under the University's Office 365 license agreement and is not supported by University of Minnesota OIT. This is due to the fact there are not support mechanisms in place to support the usage of Sharepoint through Office 365. This might change in the future, but at this time there is no concrete date for Sharepoint to be enabled.
