Implementing SharePoint 2007 for Collaboration at Drexel University

Drexel implemented SharePoint to facilitate institutional collaboration and address an unmet need for workflow process automation for university committees. SharePoint sites were created to manage project collaboration, document sharing, and workflow management. Sites are being used to track trainings, to support promotion review process, to manage the faculty senate course approvals, and to enhance the effective operation of the board of trustees and those supporting the board. Presenters will discuss Drexel's internal planning, system implementation, and training and support approaches, as well as how to manage expectations to ensure successful outcomes and implementation of this rich environment.
