What is Confluence
Confluence is Illinois Tech's team collaboration software. It operates as a data repository, Wiki and team collaboration tool. There are add-on products within a marketplace for the Confluence community to use. Two of the current add-ons in place here at IIT are:
- Gliffy - Gliffy is a great alternative to expensive desktop diagramming tools. Using Gliffy, developers, project managers, system administrators, and others can improve their Confluence documentation, collaborate effectively, and improve productivity.
