OURDrive is the University of Otago’s document management system based on the SharePoint platform. The system is being implemented to:
- provide a secure place to store documents
- make it easy to find and share information
- enable the University to better meet its obligations under the Public Records Act 2005.
The OURDrive blog has been set up to communicate information about this project to University of Otago staff. As more departments and groups become involved with OURDrive, the blog will become the place to find updates, news, and support information.
Please contact Corporate Records Services if you would like further information on electronic document and records management.

Secure storage
OURDrive is a more secure option to commercial products such as Google Docs or DropBox. You will be able to access your documents and files from any location where you have an internet connection.
SharePoint platform
SharePoint is a web-based collaborative workspace software application offered by Microsoft. As such it has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and is closely integrated with the Office suite.
