"Bloomfire gives us a lot of visibility as the knowledge management team into what knowledge is important at Cardinal Path right now."
"Previously, Sales, Service, and Marketing never really talked to each other. We never knew what the right hand was doing, so there was content on the old platform that Sales could be recreating to post [in their file system], not knowing that the service team had already created it or vice-versa"
“In this virtual environment, it’s tough to find someone to answer your question when you have a client on the phone, and that’s one of the big reasons we implemented Bloomfire—so people have that knowledge exactly when they need it."
“The biggest advantage to going through a knowledge audit is getting everyone on one system. Combining not just multiple systems but multiple knowledge bases, that’s fantastic.”
