SharePoint Collaboration Services – Pilot sites available now!

SharePoint 2007 is Microsoft’s web-based collaboration and document management platform offered as part of the Microsoft Office family of products.   A SharePoint site is a web site that provides a central storage and collaboration space for documents, information, and ideas.  A SharePoint site is a tool for collaboration; helping groups of people share information and work together in a dynamic and interactive fashion.

SharePoint gives people the ability to:

• Publish documents of standard file formats
• Manage documents with version control and workflow
• Coordinate projects, calendars, and schedules
• Control individual access to web sites using JHED credentials
• Discuss ideas and review documents or proposals
• Integrate with Office 2007 desktop applications, instant messaging, and email.

This SharePoint service is being offered by the Enterprise Messaging Team which is part of Hopkins ITS.  For more information about our SharePoint offering, please see https://collaborate.johnshopkins.edu/sites/FAQ or contact shadmins@jhmi.edu.
