Speed up your IT process by using and creating knowledge base for your service desk software
Despite popular opinion, life as a service desk agent is as unglamorous as it can get. A support agent spends most of his time, answering the same set of questions over and over. Imagine answering "How do I reset my password?" fifty times a day; not only does this make their life incredibly monotonous but it also makes the end-user wait for an answer to a problem or query that actually could be solved in a jiffy with the right guide.

Knowledge Management Software Buyers Guide
Table of Contents
What is knowledge management software?
Knowledge management software is a centralized, searchable repository of digital documents such as PDF, docs, spreadsheets, presentations, audios, and videos. It allows users to capture, preserve, organize, and share business information, strategies, and ideas. It offers a self-service portal for sharing information internally and externally with customers or clients.
Organizations can use the software for various activities such as training, inculcating best practices for processes and projects, and creating FAQs.
The benefits of knowledge management software
Knowledge management software allows organizations to preserve the knowledge that employees have gained with time and experience, as well as share it with others. Here’s a list of the benefits of using this software:
- Improve employee training: The solution helps businesses document information such as industry knowledge, employee skillsets, and best practices. Storing this data on a self-service portal makes it easy for employees to learn from peers and industry leaders as per their convenience. The tool can also onboard new hires quickly as they’ll have all the training resources at their disposal.
- Speed-up access to information: The comprehensive knowledge base would make it easy for employees to quickly find answers to their queries. You can also share the database with customers and clients in the form of an FAQ portal. The software would ensure that answers are consistent, accurate, and the response time is short.
- Troubleshoot queries more efficiently: The software allows you to track and monitor trends in customer and employee concerns/queries. These trends can help you eliminate problems, ultimately saving you time and money in the long run.
Typical features of knowledge management software
- Knowledge base management: Create and store documents in a centralized database that works as an organized repository for knowledge retrieval.
- Full text search: Search for specific keywords in entire documents, not just limited sections.
- Access controls: Define access levels for different files and folders. Assign different permissions to users within the organization.
- Cataloging: Organize documents based on similar tags and keywords.
- Collaboration: Work together on projects by sharing information with colleagues in real time.
- Content management: Create, deliver, and govern information in multiple formats, within a collaborative environment.
- Discussion boards: Ask questions and share ideas via online forums or groups.
- Self-service portal: Access the knowledge base, discussion boards, and supporting tools, such as a messaging service and ticket tracker, on a single platform.
- Text editor: Allow users to edit text from within the application via a built-in editor.
Considerations when purchasing knowledge management software
- Aligning business objectives: Each vendor offers different features for distinct business needs. While some solutions are designed to be customer helpdesks, others are designed as collaborative tools to manage ideas and projects. Before purchasing a solution, list your business needs and match those to the software’s features. Also, create a roadmap to integrate the software into your processes and information systems.
- Ensuring data security and privacy: This is vital, so check where your data will be hosted and the security measures to protect it. You can choose to deploy on the cloud (where the data is hosted on third-party/vendor servers) or on-premise (hosted on your own servers). Review the measures for both options and assess which option would suit your business. Also, verify the security provider’s compliance certifications.
- Assessing the total software costs: The price of the software can vary from free to a few hundred dollars. To avoid overpaying for or underusing the software, ensure that the pricing plan you select has all the features to meet your basic needs. You may not need some of the advanced features or the full suite, which will reduce the software cost. Also, participate in free trials and demos to better assess the solutions you shortlist.
Relevant knowledge management software trends
- Increasing use of AI to filter information: Knowledge management software providers are leveraging AI to autotag content as per categories, making search indexing more efficient. They are also using AI to auto recommend content when users type queries into the built-in search bar, live chat, or email. This helps them discover relevant information at the right time.
- Compatibility with mobile devices: Sixty percent of employees use mobile apps for work-related tasks, and 71% spend more than two hours a week accessing company information on mobile phones. Based on this trend, knowledge management software vendors are offering mobile apps for Android and iOS devices, to ensure that users can access information on smartphones without having to compromise on the experience.
