Genesys Knowledge Management (CE28) for Genesys Engage on premises
What's the challenge?
Your customers don't want to call you if they don't have to — they'd prefer to find information on your website. But when online help is unavailable or produces poor search results, neither your customers nor your agents have quick access to the right answers.
What's the solution?
Consolidate knowledge that's scattered throughout your organization in a single searchable repository. Now, your customers can help themselves; but if they do reach out, your agents are also equipped to provide better, quicker assistance. Leverage machine learning to constantly improve and deliver search relevancy.

Use Case Overview
Story and Business Context
Knowledge makes it easier for contact center agents to use information to do their jobs boosting agent productivity and customer satisfaction. With the right knowledge, agents can provide resolution to customer queries in real time. When agents have access to standardized content for frequently asked questions, it helps expedite the customer request. Agents (especially when working from home) can address customer issues by using a knowledge base with vital information to solve customer inquiries.
Knowledge solutions support the following outcomes:
- Promote agent growth and development
- Provide quicker problem solving
- Deliver better, faster decision-making abilities
- Avoids redundant effort by agents
- Reduce repeat callers
- Increase customer satisfaction and productivity
- Reduce training time
When agents have at their disposal up-to-date, easily available and relevant knowledge they provide high customer satisfaction to resolve customer issues.
Use Case Benefits*
The following benefits are based on benchmark information captured from Genesys customers and may vary based on industry, lines of business or Genesys product line:
| Use Case Benefits | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Improved Customer Experience | Enhance the customer experience by providing rapid access to frequently searched information and use of customer contextual information at every touchpoint reducing customer effort. |
| Improved Employee Utilization | High quality, consistent content in the response library improves agent efficiency. |
| Improved First Contact Resolution | Improve service by presenting context-specific knowledge to agents that can resolve the customer's request or issue during the first interaction. With an accurate and up-to-date knowledge base being accessible to agents, they can provide the right information every time to customers negating second and third contacts from customers. |
| Reduced Handle Time | Interaction time decreases due to agents receiving customer knowledge search history and no repeating information is necessary. Plus, agents can utilize the knowledge base as well to rapidly respond to customer inquiries. |
| Reduced Volume of Interactions | With an implementation of knowledge base, inbound calls normally handled by agents can now be defected due to customers finding the right information the first time they search the knowledge base. |
Summary
Agents are empowered to search through knowledge bases for appropriate responses to customer inquiries. Agents can leverage partial or complete content from the knowledge base and have confidence in providing customers with pre-authored responses. Agents provide faster and more relevant responses to customers.
