Intranet (Portal) Launch

At the start of the year Dr. Mitchell said that our new calendar and directory would be launched this year. Both of these goals have been ment with the launched of the new OC Intranet (Portal). Both the College Calendar and the College Directory can be accessed from the Olymp[ic College  "Home Page".

Our Portal connects people, teams, and knowledge across all college units and activities. It unifies disparate information, facilitates easy collaboration on documents, projects, and other efforts, and presents specific applications and customized content based on a user’s department/unit and college role. SharePoint Portal Server works with Microsoft Windows Explorer, Microsoft Office applications, and Web browsers to help us create, manage and share content throughout our college.

• Provides multiple ways to organize content in meaningful ways, such as by area or topic, so that it's easier for users to find and easier to manage
• Affords greater control over content publishing; for example, we can target content to a specific audience
• Allows us to find and work with people, teams, sites, existing best practices, and more
• Provides interactive Web-based team sites
• Provides document collaboration for the whole organization
• Implements the OC Picture directory and OC Calendar.

Users may want to bookmark the Intranet address so that they can quickly return to it. A link to the Intranet will also be available from the "Welcome to Olympic College" page. Here is a link to the OC Intranet: http://intranet.olympic.edu
