California Casualty provide individuals with auto and property insurance through affinity groups, in particular in the education, law enforcement, firefighting and nursing sectors. 

The company had expanded rapidly – from doing business in 13 US states to 44 states – and the number of documents they had to manage grew significantly. They introduced a document management system, but after using it for a decade, their knowledge management team of three was struggling with the management of 35,000 documents. 

As a result, staff were struggling to find the information they needed, with 90% spending anything from 30 minutes up to an hour or more searching for information every day. Many would give up and call the help desk instead.
