SharePoint Online Administration

SharePoint Online, available as part of Microsoft Office 365, is a cloud-based service for businesses of all sizes that helps them create sites to share documents and insights with colleagues, partners, and customers.

Rather than install and deploy SharePoint Server 2010 on premises, organizations can subscribe to SharePoint Online to provide employees with collaboration and information management capabilities that work with familiar Office applications.

Download and read the Overview for Enterprise IT Professionals for an introduction to the basic features and functionality of SharePoint Online.

SharePoint Online provides sites to:

  1. Manage and share important documents. (My Sites)
  2. Keep teams in sync and manage important projects. (Team Sites)
  3. Stay up-to-date with company information and news. (Intranet Sites)
  4. Share documents securely with partners and customers. (Extranet Sites)
  5. Market your business using a simple public-facing website.

SharePoint Online works with familiar Office applications. You can easily create Office documents and save directly to SharePoint Online, or you can coauthor documents with Microsoft Office Web Apps. Access important documents offline or from mobile devices and set document-level permissions to help protect sensitive content. With one click you can communicate in real-time with colleagues, customers, and partners from within SharePoint sites.
