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

As an overview of functionalities and a first view on the new layout, you can use a demo page team-demo.kit.edu.
