General

Team sites as a central information platform can optimize team collaboration. Based on Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, the SCC implements integrative and topic-oriented web applications that, among other things, promote the efficient exchange of information in workgroups and teams as a central knowledge database and document repository.

KIT Teamsites provide the following features:

  • Central announcements
  • Events
  • Task lists and project planning
  • Document and image libraries
  • Versioning of documents
  • E-Mail Notification of changes
  • OneNote
  • Surveys
  • contacts - also for use in Outlook
  • Wikis
  • Data Import and export from Excel spreadsheets
