We’re pleased to announce the official roll-out of BASC Teamsite on March 23, 2022 around 8:00 pm PDT.
What is BASC Teamsite?
BASC Teamsite is a web-based collaboration platform, an internal site to be used by BASC Officers as a central hub for collaboration, data collection, and data repository. We chose Google to hosts our Teamsite and other Google productivity tools/software such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google drive, Docs, and Sheets.
Why did we chose Google to hosts our BASC Teamsite and Apps?
Low-cost solution for our needs — Google has a lot of innovative and free apps offering such as web hosting, spreadsheet, word processing, email forwarding, email aliases thus eliminating the need to subscribe for paid mail hosting or paid subscription of Office 365 (if we chose Microsoft)
Uptime (99%), on the cloud & secured- almost guaranteed availability, connectivity, and security built into the system, Google provides full documents security controls. Our data is stored securely in world-class data centers. Data is encrypted in-transit and at-rest. Information in apps where we primarily store personal content—including Drive—were not used for advertising purposes.
Innovative solutions — We can leverage the ongoing creative and technical solutions of the Google platform to provide BASC Officers with powerful, easy-to-use tools for getting our work done.
More collaboration features — Teamsite uses Google's next-generation applications, we can collaborate more easily and efficiently than ever before.
How can I access BASC Teamsite?
To access BASC Teamsite, first, you will need a Gmail account preferably to be used solely for BASC so as not to have mixed email communication from your personal Gmail. As long as you can manage both BASC communications and your personal communications in one Gmail account, there is no problem with that.
Using your Gmail, send an email to info@basc87.org with the subject “My BASC Gmail”, write your full name on the email signature.
You can also go to to our website https://www.basc87.org/member-contact-info and enter your contact information.
We will validate your Gmail address via our BASC officers chat room or via cellphone.
Will there be any training to use the site?
Yes, training will be provided on how to navigate, use of the tools and apps. Zoom meeting invites will be sent to our Messenger chat room. Training is not a prerequisite in using the site if you already use Microsoft Office or Microsoft Teams it will be easy.
Is there any priority where we need to focus on our new BASC Teamsite?
Yes we should focus on Project Web Build. We need your input and comments to complete our public website. We are also collecting information of BASC’s physical assets, please go to Projects>Asset Data Collection page. We need this information to track assets and distribute responsibilities for storing our assets.
