Tinu, Welcome. At Cornell, we are very low-tech.
· Since we have nothing to do with compliance in the Policy Office, we do not have a "cradle to grave" policy management system that some of our peers have. It has been my experience that most of these tools are expensive and focus on compliance. · We maintain our policies library as MS Word pdf documents, with the pdf documents on the front end, available to our users. · Our pdf policies are uploaded to our website, which is maintained in Drupal. · We collaborate on policy documents as they are being developed or revised using the "track changes" function in MS Word. We must collaborate on documents with stakeholders who are at every level of skill, and have not found another way to do so that is available to and understood by all of our collaborators. We send documents protected for styles and tracked changes, and we are the power users collect who collate various revisions, suggested edits, and other changes. Note: We are currently exploring converting our Word/pdf template into a web-based template. I hope this helps a bit.
