SharePoint is the name of two products from Microsoft.
The Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services (currently called Microsoft SharePoint Server) product is a web application called the virtual collaboration of groups with a common data and information storage.
With the help of many pre-built and easy-to-size modules such as document and picture libraries, calendars, lists, tasks, surveys, etc., can quickly create customized based on the anticipated work areas. These are accessible using a web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer) internally and externally.
The Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services are closely linked with the Microsoft Office products. Office files can be opened directly from the browser out in the appropriate application, export lists to Excel or Access, or calendars in Outlook.
A Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (currently known as Microsoft SharePoint) is operated as the portal portal.hmi.de, which uses the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services.
For this site work or project teams may receive exclusive sub-portals. Per team, an employee for the design of this sub-portals should be responsible. All team members can edit the contents of your sub-portal, ie store files, work on them, add events, commenting and more. Who exactly what is allowed is determined by access rights.
For the security of your data a two-stage recycle bin and centralized data backup is provided.
The portal can be reached at portal.hmi.de, there is also a test site to try it on. To register please use your HZB ID with your internal password.
