  • Workflow for “tasking” designated experts with unanswered questions and issues;
  • Configurable alerts to notify stakeholders and subject matter experts of updates and changes to relevant content; and

Tom Polivka, Bamboo’s Director of Enterprise Sales, explains, “Customers have eagerly adopted our SharePoint Knowledge Base application to capture and disseminate corporate knowledge assets.  Bamboo’s Knowledge Base is a popular choice for organizations standardized on the SharePoint platform.  When we combine Workflow Conductor with our Knowledge Base application, we provide the ability to automatically route unanswered inquiries to subject matter experts question category or other criteria.  While it’s important to support a self-service model, it’s equally important to enable collaboration between end users and subject matter experts.”
