SharePoint is compatible and integrated with Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010 for Windows products and is compatible with Microsoft Office 2008 and 2011 for Macintosh. SharePoint provides agile provisioning of team sites for information sharing and team productivity.

SharePoint Publishing provides customers the ability to easily and quickly publish content without assistance from their IT department.

SharePoint 2010 customers who have purchased premium Client Access Licenses (CALs) can use the Excel Services, Business Intelligence, and Business Process Forms features.

Support for custom code deployment is also available. Each customer designates a Site Administrator who has administrative access to their project’s site. CIT offers regular training sessions to ensure site administrators have a solid operational background.

Customers in a dedicated SharePoint environment run on separate hardware which meets their individual needs, provides dedicated capacity, and allows the installation of third party products into their SharePoint environment.
