SharePoint

The University of Hamburg operates SharePoint, a web-based collaboration and application platform hosted on its own servers. SharePoint is available to all employees of the University of Hamburg.

SharePoint provides a wide range of collaboration features. For example, users can co-author Microsoft Office documents, maintain shared calendars and contact lists, and create custom lists to support their work.

SharePoint 2019 End of Support

The SharePoint 2019 Server environment will no longer be supported by Microsoft as of 14 July 2026, and will be decommissioned on 31 August 2026.

As its successor, the RRZ provides SharePoint Server Subscription Edition (SE), which is also hosted on the RRZ's servers. The new SharePoint SE is available at sharepoint-se.uni-hamburg.de.

All content was migrated to the new SharePoint SE. Existing workflows are excluded from the migration, as they will be gradually transferred to the DMS Process Studio.

FAQ

Where can I find the processes that have been migrated to the new SharePoint SE?

The workflows from the current SharePoint platform (SharePoint 2019) will be migrated to the Document Management System (DMS) step by step and as soon as possible.

Below, you will find an overview of the workflows, including links to the current solutions or to the pages where the current solutions will be available shortly:

What should I know when using SharePoint SE?

Please note the following:

  • The old SharePoint environment (SharePoint 2019) will be decommissioned soon.
  • All content from the old SharePoint environment — except for workflows that have not yet been migrated to the DMS (see above) — is now available in the new Sharepoint environment (Sharepoint SE). This SharePoint environment is also hosted on RRZ servers.
  • Please use only the new SharePoint environment (SharePoint SE) from now on, except for the workflows mentioned above.
  • Once all workflows have been migrated to the DMS, the old web address sharepoint.uni-hamburg.de will only provide access to the new SharePoint environment (SharePoint SE).
