In a credit union, staff answer members' questions about their money every day. When the answer sits in one of several SharePoint sites, a network drive or someone's OneDrive, finding it takes time members notice.
That was the starting point at Premier Credit Union, according to a Bloomfire customer story.
What Premier Credit Union did
Premier launched PAL, a knowledge hub built on Bloomfire that brought policies, procedures, manuals, project materials, job aids and training resources into one place. Authors review their posts every year, and onboarding includes a day in the life walkthrough.
PAL proved especially valuable during Premier's 2025 core conversion, a major systems upgrade. The hub held meeting minutes, project updates, subject matter expert assignments, timelines, FAQs and process walkthroughs. The vendor reports that Premier has reduced its SharePoint footprint by about 30%, with more consolidation ahead.
What it already gives the business
Training Officer Miles Morgan describes the effect: "PAL quickly became an indispensable tool for our entire staff. It improved efficiency, reduced repeat questions, and empowered employees to find answers independently."
When teams asked why a workflow had been designed a certain way, they could go back to the meeting notes in PAL to check earlier decisions. Many businesses lose that kind of decision memory after every major project.
The ExValu perspective, a hypothesis
Where a Company Brain could take it next
The hub holds what was written down. Experienced staff also know which member questions point to a bigger need, which workarounds the new core system still requires and which exceptions managers approve.
A Company Brain could connect that experience with the documents, so a new employee gets both the procedure and the judgment behind it. That is our hypothesis, to be tested against Premier's own service data.
What an owner and a buyer would look for
Track repeat questions to experts, time to answer a member and how often staff find the answer without help.
In a regulated business, a buyer or examiner will want current procedures with owners and review dates, plus a trail of why processes changed. Keep member data separate from general knowledge and limit access by role.
