Office 365

Our Office 365 SharePoint Portal is a dedicated solution for school, which want an easy-to-use learning portal. Students and teachers are often presented with advanced and complex solutions that does everything they need and then some and as a result, they are difficult to use. We have decided to do things differently and therefore the Office 365 SharePoint Portal gives you the features you need to get the most out of SharePoint. Nothing more, nothing less. The portal is simple and easy to use. This way you avoid confusion and having to navigate yet another complex system. In terms of design, you have two options: the portal can use our standard skin, as pictured above, or our second skin, which we made for primary schools.
