What is Knowledge Management?
Knowledge management is the process of sharing and utilizing the knowledge and expertise of an organization with its agents and customers. By using a single IT system for storing and retrieving the collective knowledge and experience of an organization’s workforce, organizational learning and decision making is done easier and more efficiently.
What is a Knowledge Article?
Knowledge articles provide valuable information like policies, FAQs, and solutions to common issues. They are stored in a knowledge base, making them easily accessible to both agents and customers. Users can create, edit, and view articles to share knowledge across the organization, with access permissions managed by knowledge base managers.
