Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server
Success in education relies on the effective sharing of knowledge. Information flows between students and teachers, schools, and parents, and within peer communities are invaluable. In the past, educational institutions have relied on paper-based records. But when teachers or students leave, the information associated with them remains filed away, and its value is lost.
Microsoft® SharePoint® Portal Server 2003 offers institutions the tools they need to retain knowledge, and put it to use—now, and in the future. It supports collaboration, by means of portals that support document sharing and communication. Research, reports, news, and announcements can be held in a central point of access. This can be easily searched, and results combined with queries across a variety of data repositories.
