Office 365 Pilot
Welcome to the Pilot site for Office 365 - Phase 1 (SharePoint & OneDrive for Business)
This site will be updated with documentation as it is created so check back often.
The basic end user goals for this pilot are to:
- Test the functionality of cloud based SharePoint for individuals including OneDrive for Business. This will include presenting and sharing documentation for authenticated and unauthenticated users. Put simply, a user can share a folder(s) or document(s) with those who do and do not have a CougarNet account.
- Create user friendly documentation to support #1
