With Communities, your organization can host multiple communities, each offering its own discussion forums, document libraries, coauthored wikis, and personal blogs.
Create as many standalone communities as needed to support groups within your organization.
This integrated set of community features offers a robust set of collaboration and communication tools that match and extend your online presence. Communities uses your existing iMIS contact records and leverages iMIS security and website management tools.
Each community has its own set of announcements, forums, blogs, wikis, resources, and members (roster).
