FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm already using another knowledge platform or RFP software provider. How easy is it to switch?

Switching to Arphie usually takes less than a week — and your team won't lose any of your hard work from curating and maintaining your knowledge base and/or content library on your previous provider. The Arphie team will provide white-glove onboarding throughout the process of migration.

What are Arphie's security practices?

Arphie takes security extremely seriously. Arphie is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, and employs a transparent and robust data protection program. Arphie also conducts third party penetration testing annually, which simulates a real-world cyberattack to ensure our systems and your data remain secure. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. For enterprise customers, we also support single sign-on (SSO) through SAML 2.0. Within the platform, customers can also define different user roles with different permissions (e.g., read-only, or read-and-write). For more information, visit our Security page.

How much time would I gain by switching to Arphie?

Customers switching from legacy RFP or knowledge software typically see speed and workflow improvements of 60% or more, while customers with no prior RFP software typically see improvements of 80% or more.

Arphie enables customers to achieve these efficiency gains by developing patented, advanced AI agents to ensure that answers are as high-quality and transparent as possible. This means that Arphie's customers are getting best-in-class answer quality that can continually learn their preferences and writing style, while only drawing from company-approved information sources. Arphie's AI is also applied to content management streamlining as well, minimizing the time spent on manual Q&A updating and cleaning.
