The University of Nebraska System works to minimize duplicative technologies and services to provide high-quality user experiences and to be good stewards of limited resources. Microsoft 365 is the core communication, collaboration, and productivity suite for use by faculty, staff, and students. Microsoft 365 is also used for file storage for users with OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Canvas is the core Learning Management System and YuJa is used for video content.
While most use-cases fit well into the core service portfolio, ITS understands that there are services that require the use of other toolsets, such as Google Workspace.
