Search
Natural Language Search enables your agents’ search to be understood using their own wording without having to insert keywords. By utilising the search functionality in Universal’s helpdesk knowledge management agents are taken directly to the location of a document that contains the answer. This removes the need for agents to trawl through lengthy documents and saves vast amounts of time.
Manage
Within Universal’s IT help desk knowledge management software a comprehensive content management function allows knowledge authors to effectively manage content by setting creation and expiration dates as well as having the ability to automatically perform bulk uploads of documentation from multiple repositories.
Capture
Universal’s IT knowledge management tool allows agents to easily create information internally with our document editor or leave information from multiple repositories in-situ to be leveraged into the knowledgebase without compromising search quality. Leverage internal and external knowledge sources including intranets, file shares or even SharePoint repositories.
Reports
With Universal’s help desk knowledge management reports administrators can access key metrics such as user/document usage statistics and gain further understanding of your knowledgebase.

Integrate

Share

Review & Approval
Review and approve content prior to publication to ensure that the most accurate knowledge is circulated to your agents. Assigning experts or dedicated knowledge authors for content reviewing prior to publication of new or updated documents gives your agents the confidence to perform daily tasks more competently than ever before.

This advanced level of traceability in your IT knowledge management tool allows administrators to easily visualise and prioritise content editions.

By definition a shared service desk exists to provide customers accurate and timely responses to a whole range of questions with an expectancy to provide these answers regardless of their inbound channel. Whether it is a dedicated shared service centre or an outsourced service desk, agents require flexible access to the right knowledge at the right time.
With our service desk knowledge management solutions, agents have the ability to quickly and easily scour multiple repositories from one search engine, whether it be through a Natural Language Search or a decision tree, obtaining an accurate and timely resolution has never been easier.
