Microsoft SharePoint

What is SharePoint 365?

Microsoft Office 365 is UL’s chosen suite of collaboration tools to support the teaching, learning, research and administrative activities. A component of the University’s subscription is SharePoint 365 collaboration platform which integrates with a variety of Microsoft Office 365 applications and services.

SharePoint 365 enables the digital transformation of business processes and includes key enhancements like Co-Authoring (multiple users working on documents without requiring check out), remote collaboration and enhanced search. By adopting a cloud platform like SharePoint 365 for our document management we can remove the boundaries that may currently impede collaboration.

This move to the cloud platform means that information is always available in a familiar environment, ready to be accessed by a simple search.  Users can easily create, store, collaborate and share content through the use of Modern SharePoint sites and document libraries, access internal sites, documents, and other information from anywhere - at the office or at home.
