APAN Sites

APAN has added SharePoint 2010 to its collaboration tools. Users that depend heavily on documentation for knowledge management will enjoy the power of SharePoint to collaborate and manage documents.  APAN Groups continue to rely on the unstructured collaboration tools APAN has always offered, while APAN Sites are powered by APAN's new Sharepoint 2010 tools. 

APAN Sites maintain the same look and feel as the rest of the APAN service.  The APAN search tools have expanded to include APAN Sites, so finding the content you need remains seamless.  APAN Sites also have many of the same tools users are accustomed to like chat, favorites, activity feeds, and GIS capabilities.  Site Owners are able to manage access to the site from site entry down to the document level.

Starting a new APAN Site requires the same steps as starting an APAN Community Group.  Begin by submitting a support ticket through the APAN Support page.  An APAN team member will respond and gather your site requirements.  See the screenshot below for an example of how the new APAN Sites will look.

Training for APAN Sites will be provided in both live training webinars and new articles in the APAN Knowledge Base.  Watch the APAN University Page and the APAN Group Owners blog  for announcements of new training events.  Subscribe to the blog to get announcements directly in your email inbox.
