Processes
The KnowSystem Suite offers a comprehensive platform for modern knowledge management that effectively supports central processes in companies. It enables the centralized capture, maintenance, and management of corporate knowledge and provides this information in a structured manner to both internal teams and external users. In customer support, users benefit from intelligently provided self-service content through the portal, where tickets can be automatically enriched with relevant solution suggestions based on the specific case context. For internal training and employee education, learning content and training materials can be efficiently created and managed. Additionally, product documentation is seamlessly supported through the integration of knowledge articles directly into e-commerce pages.
Multilingual communication is ensured through the management and publication of articles in various languages, as well as the individual customization through custom fields that reflect specific business requirements. The structured documentation creation also enables the generation of complete and publishable documentation from existing knowledge content.
To ensure the quality and currency of the content, automated maintenance processes are in place: expiration dates, regular review cycles, and validation workflows provide controlled and sustainable content management. The system is complemented by AI-supported functions that generate audience-specific content and enable context-based matching along the customer journey – for maximum efficiency and relevance at every touchpoint.
