Amy, We use SharePoint for just that purpose, and overall have a good experience with it. We can cheaply purchase enough space to keep all our in-process documents available, manage the version control process, and grant access to stakeholders as needed for each chapter.
We are aware that SharePoint has a great deal of functionality that we are NOT using, so your colleagues may wish to talk with some super-users to get the real scoop on what SharePoint can do. For us, it is a stable and manageable environment for collaboration. That, along with an Access database, constitutes our policy management technology. I will say that although many of our stakeholders adapt to the SharePoint environment and use it very well, some are resistant and we end up doing the uploading ourselves. But overall, it is a very useful tool that promotes the sharing of information and expertise. Happy to discuss further as needed.

Do any of you have experience using SharePoint in this way? And, if so, would you be willing to discuss how you use the system with my colleagues? Thank you! Amy Amy E. Smith, M.S.E.
