Several Q&A’s that came from the webinar presentation:
Cheryl: What happens in the situation that we chose to discontinue service? All that
data becomes unavailable to us?
SilverCloud: Great question - we can export the questions and documents for you in
the case that you decide to discontinue service. We backup all of our systems every
night and the backups are held for 365 days.
Asi: Are there any down sides you encountered?
Ranisha @ 1st USCU: I have to think about that one…Actually I don’t think that there
were any downsides to the solution. We got better using the system over time, but it
didn’t take much time because it was so user-friendly. Our staff caught on quickly.

THANK YOU
More Q&A’s that came from the webinar presentation:
Deborah: Thank you, we are migrating to Breeze here at AAFCU. Can I manage
questions by public versus private (employee versus avail to members)?
SilverCloud: We have an employee facing solution called Compass and two additional
member/customer facing solutions which would be open to them to ask questions
and submit issues, etc. For security and best practices reasons we don't have one
place where both sets of content live. We wouldn't want any institution to accidentally
publish confidential or sensitive information to the public.
Jillian: Can this be embedded into SharePoint? Also, can review dates be set on the
content in the database with reminders to the content authors?
SilverCloud: Hi Jillian, We can definitely embed into Sharepoint, and have done so
with many clients! We can set review dates for content and any content editors can
receive the messages reminding them that content needs to be reviewed. Also, there
is a report to show all content and show when that particular item was last updated.

THANK YOU
More Q&A’s that came from the webinar presentation:
Griff: Does the system automatically prioritize the list of potential answers over time so
that the best response to a particular question rises to the top?
SilverCloud: Absolutely, the system looks through a vast number of criteria to match a
particular question with a set of answers. The system will learn over time. Additionally
we have a few other features we like to call “top content widgets” that will populate on
the page the top content that is asked most frequently and can be siloed by the
category of the page the consumer is currently visiting.
