Give your employees and students the very best foundation for developing their knowledge successfully. By gathering your knowledge and support services in one place, you can streamline your support service with a reduced number of support cases as a result.
Take the step to shift-left by gathering all support services in one place
Challenges
Many universities and colleges currently face such challenges as lower budgets, diversity, resource-intensive onboarding cycles, the need to maintain a good reputation to attract new students, and the growing need to supportmultiple languages.
Every year, tens of thousands of new students ask the same questions. If students can’t find the answers to their questions themselves, the service desk becomes flooded with cases that need to be processed in connection with the start of the semester.
The knowledgebases that currently exist may contain obsolete knowledge or be incomplete and inadequate.
Solution
- Streamline the introduction of new students and employees through data-driven insight and the re-use of knowledge.
- Ensure that employees who leave a department have their knowledge documented in a centralized knowledge database.
- Gather all support services in one place to achieve increased productivity and self-service, lower costs, and more satisfied students and employees.
- Make self-service the primary support route with the help of relevant knowledge, in the right place, and at the right time. Help your students, aides, doctoral students, professors, and university lecturers solve problems and find the answers to their questions without having to contact the service desk.
Choose a verified knowledge management software
- If your efforts to create a complete, relevant, and current knowledge base are to be a success, your knowledge management software needs to build on best practice in the field
- The knowledge base needs to be well structured
- Knowledge articles need to be structured and contain several different components, such as text and video
- The knowledge management software needs to include automated multilingual functions
