SharePoint

Microsoft SharePoint is a web-based platform used by organisations to create websites for various purposes. At the University of Worcester, we’re using SharePoint to create cloud storage sites that help centralise our business-critical data.

These SharePoint sites provide a secure and collaborative environment for storing, organising, sharing, and accessing information from any internet-connected device.

While we’re not mandating that users make the switch to SharePoint, it is a great way to centralise business-critical data and replace the need for network-attached-storage using the O: Drive.

For more general information about Microsoft SharePoint, please see our Microsoft SharePoint page.
