SharePoint Software Service
Back to Service CatalogueOverview
UBC's SharePoint software service is a web-based communication and collaboration platform commonly used for content management, collaboration, and streamlined communications. Departments, faculties or project teams, are able to design and build their own UBC branded intranet or team site, which can be used by both internal or external colleagues. The SharePoint Service is centrally managed and supported by UBC IT and is based on Microsoft's 2013 Enterprise software.

Support for SharePoint is primarily through your site administrator. They have been specially trained and know the most about your site, so they should be the first place you go. Don't know who that is? Check the directory, or contact the UBC IT Help Desk at 604.822.2008.
