Knowledge sharing shouldn't be limited to technical teams: it can be opened to end users too. Collect and distribute information through the Knowledge Base, organizing relevant content to make it work for you again and again. Importantly, articles can be generated using the customer’s own words to capture the question and explain the answer, including hints, tips, and FAQs.
As end users create a new self-service request, InvGate Knowledge Base proactively suggests helpful articles in real-time. This not only helps to accelerate resolution and to boost end-user satisfaction, it also measurably reduces the volume of requests. Knowledge management is an effective tool here because it empowers staff with the knowledge they need to get their tasks done more swiftly.
The knowledge base makes it easy for IT support staff to collaborate in the creation of knowledge articles, to capture learnings from existing tickets, and to address FAQs. InvGate Service Desk streamlines the knowledge article creation process by allowing service desk agents to create articles from their day-to-day support work and tickets. This could include rich text, inline images, and video streaming from third-party sites.
To help ensure the quality and usefulness of knowledge articles, InvGate Service Desk also actively requests end user feedback about knowledge base articles as they use them. You can view end user satisfaction ratings, view counts, and other statistics to ensure that the knowledge base is populated with high quality, timely, and relevant knowledge articles.
If end users can help themselves through self-help then it will most likely be a quicker resolution than calling or emailing the service desk. IT support personnel will be able to provide speedier solutions too. This is particularly beneficial to members of staff who might still be learning the ropes.
Both quicker IT support generated solutions and end-user self-help reduce the amount of time IT support personnel spend dealing with issues with the associated labor-cost savings. Knowledge management is a business investment that soon pays for itself, while improving quality of service.
It’s great if end users can help themselves, and quickly. If end users are engaged with IT support personnel, then the latter’s ability to use knowledge articles to speed up the delivery, and quality, of a solution also helps improve the end user experience and their level of satisfaction.
Knowledge articles makes life easier for IT support personnel. Relevant information is easier to access, more tickets will be resolved quickly, and end users will rate the IT support team more highly. All of which leads to happier IT support staff and a greater probability that staff will stay with the team.
