The challenge

Knowledge silos limiting consulting efficiency

BlueBi's consulting team was struggling with knowledge silos and project collaboration inefficiencies across their distributed workforce in Milano, Torino, Vicenza, and Roma.

Consultants specializing in different BI technologies were working in isolation, creating significant duplication of effort when developing similar solutions for different clients.

Critical project knowledge was being lost between engagements, and inconsistent documentation made it difficult to onboard new consultants and maintain quality standards.

The solution

Unified collaboration platform for consulting teams

Comind.work provided BlueBi with flexible project organization and collaborative workflow capabilities that could handle both structured project data and unstructured consulting notes.

The platform enabled seamless collaboration between consultants with different specializations while maintaining the security standards required for sensitive client data.

Custom project structures and templates allowed BlueBi to standardize their consulting processes while preserving the flexibility needed for diverse client requirements.
