Centralizing Market Intelligence at a Global Specialty Chemical Company

A global leader in specialty chemistry and performance ingredients partnered with Bloomfire to modernize how employees discovered, accessed, and shared competitive and market intelligence. Replacing SharePoint and fragmented file systems, the company built a centralized knowledge community serving more than 2,500 employees with curated content, integrated research sources, and self-service access. Over four years, the organization expanded adoption, transformed its content to support AI-powered knowledge delivery, and established Bloomfire as a strategic knowledge hub.

Challenges

This organization faced several roadblocks when it came to effective knowledge sharing and information accessibility, ultimately hindering their efforts. Some of these challenges include:

• Fragmented Knowledge: Critical market intelligence was scattered across SharePoint, email and personal hard drives. 
• Limited Scalability: Teams needed enterprise-wide access without ongoing IT support.
• Poor Content Governance: Thousands of outdated, inconsistent assets reduced search quality and trust.
• Disconnected Research: External research and internal knowledge lived in separate systems. Disparate teams working in similar markets were unaware of overlapping interests. 
• Low Self-Service: Employees relied on subject matter experts instead of finding answers independently.
