SharePoint

SharePoint

SharePoint is a Microsoft product used to create websites and organisation Intranets. You can use it as a secure place to store, organize, share, and access information from any device. All you need is a web browser, such as Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox. 

SharePoint can be ‘On Premise’ where the product is hosted on servers maintained and managed by the organisation or ‘Online’ where the product is hosted on servers in the Cloud, and is maintained and managed by Microsoft.

In 2023, Queen's migrated all intranet sites from 'On-Premise' to SharePoint 'Online' meaning that all our sites now reside in the cloud.
