Corporate Finance/Treasury Value-add Functions?

I recently transitioned from an FP&A role to an analyst-level role in my company's Corporate Finance/Treasury group. The group has the primary responsibility over the company's capital structure as well as any capital markets activity, among other things. It is a F100 company with +$15B publicly traded bonds outstanding, and while the company is not generally active in markets other than the occasional bond refinancing, I was surprised at how little attention is paid to market conditions, opportunities, etc. We have a Bloomberg Terminal, but no one really knows how to use it. I don't have a lot of experience with capital markets but know there must be opportunities that we are missing because no one is looking. So my question is, where should I be looking to add value here? What are some of the metrics that other Corporates are paying attention to? Any type of opportunity to save money would be welcomed by the company at this point, but not sure where to begin.
