As I hope you know, whilst not hanging around in here, I am busy spending time with my 3rd child, DocRead. In short, DocRead is a policy management system that allows you send out important docs to staff and then get them to read and acknowledge without leaving SharePoint.
To improve our marketing of DocRead, I wanted to do a bit of research into how you use SharePoint for policies and procedures ? Can you let me know which one describes your organization best ?
1. All of our policies and procedures are uploaded and managed in SharePoint document libraries and you use workflows and document versioning along with other document management capabilities.
2. We do some work on the documents in SharePoint, but they are distributed using a separate policy management system.
3. We don’t use SharePoint at all for this kind of thing.
In addition to this, do you use any other SharePoint functionality to author your policies e.g.
- Video’s in web pages
- Publishing pages
- Flash content
Lastly, if you have any other features / ideas on how we can improve the message, we are always looking for inspiration 😉
Would love it if you can you help me get some responses by tweeting this!
In our current MOSS 2007 environment, SharePoint is used as the repository for our policies and procedures. We’re not currently using document versioning or other document management capabilities. However, in upcoming 2013 install, we are planning to implement document versioning and workflows as well as DocRead.
We are excited about the new install and being able to manage on-boarding documents and department/division specific document policy/procedure needs across our 7 campus environment.
Teaching our faculty and staff to actually collaborate and use the document versioning will be my first huge challenge once the 2013 environment is up and running.
