Mitratech PolicyHub is a policy management solution designed to create, update, approve and communicate policies to automated knowledge assessments, audit and reporting.
SharePoint Document Management excels as a central repository for storing, organising, and retrieving documents. It supports version control, metadata tagging, secure access, and integration with tools like Power Automate. At our organisation, it's used for managing contracts, policies, and supplier documents. SharePoint Workflow Automation integrates with Power Automate to streamline approvals, gather feedback, and automate recurring tasks. This reduces reliance on email chains and manual trackers.
If you need a centralized location for policies and procedures, this system is great for the cost and effectiveness. While other systems had more bells and whistles, PolicyHub had everything one needs to maintain their P&Ps without costing a small fortune.
Lists/Groups. This tab could be more user-friendly.
Finding the publication list. To find this list, you have to click a few times into the system. It would be nice for this to be a tab on the left-hand side where we could just see a list of what we've published recently. Given that many people have publisher rights, we need to see when things have been pushed out so we can be sure correct follow-up occurs.
Reporting. This is another tab where you have to click down a few times to get to the real information you are seeking. This could be more user-friendly, but this is only on the administrative side.
We have too much invested at this point to do anything different and there are too many reasons as a company our size to keep it. We are heavily licensed out for Microsoft and have 12 years of SharePoint development baked into who we are. Extracting that as a tool at this point would be dumb and devastating. There are no like-kind competitors to it at an enterprise level that scale and integrate as well.
As an administrator of the product, it made what should have been quite simple tasks difficult. It served its purpose, but lacked any overall flexibility. My personal experience with the account manager was poor, as they were very unclear about what could be achieved on the platform.
No usability issues reported. Individual teams also have allocated areas which replace legacy shared drives on local LANs. Access to Sharepoint resources is fully integrated with corporate Active Directory with additional two-factor authentication required for administrative users. Users have access to Microsoft Services Hub which allows you to create, manage, and track support requests while staying current on Microsoft technologies with access to select self-paced learning paths
The face to face training I received was on SharePoint Administration. It was rushed as there was a lot of information to cover and the application of the labs weren't that great either. I like to be able to relate what I am learning to what I am currently doing.
I like to learn at my own pace and online training allows for that. Additionally, you can skip through pieces of content that you already know or are already comfortable with. Microsoft actually offers great videos on their website for basic fundamental SharePoint Training. I have used these training videos in some of my own training sessions with end users.
Professional services provided excellent administrator and end-user training. Also, the product is very easy for end users to use so adoptability is very high.
The reasons for selecting MS SharePoint are: SharePoint provides ease of use and web design assistance and support SharePoint helps you schedule your content for publishing. enables users to share documents with external parties and offers a better internal structure of the content and better indexing and searching capabilities.
We've recently implemented Microsoft SharePoint access via iPads for our Template teams out on job sites. They can easily upload CAD / Laser files into Microsoft SharePoint for our production team to review in real time. Serious ROI when we don't have to wait for our Template team to get back to the shop!
We have multiple physical locations. Microsoft SharePoint allows users at each location to collaborate by working on documents simultaneously. Allowing us to solve multi-site problems & strategize on multi-site initiatives much faster!
We can also share key information with external partners. As long as they have a registered MS account (not necessarily an O365 account) we can share our information with them in a variety of ways. This allows consistent & concise communication with our partners.
PolicyHub is a cost-effective solution that allows our company to track and manage the many policies we are required to produce. It has significantly reduced the amount of time and effort it takes to distribute policies to employees corporate-wide.
