Nomination Details
Our NiCE KM site is the single source of truth and main resource for all of our product users and employees. By the numbers:
- Annually, we see ~3M site visitors who engage in ~6M sessions with ~11M pageviews.
- For every 10 individuals needing support, 9 of them go through our KM site self-servicing, which results in only 1 live support ticket (i.e., self-service ratio of 9:1).
To ensure an optimal experience for all users, we:
- Maximize site visibility to ensure users first search the KM site before submitting support tickets.
- Implemented GenSearch, where we average 34,000 searches monthly.
- Incorporate feedback tools for users to provide recommendations for article improvement.
To bring custom branding and personalization to our site, we:
- Use custom headers, custom branding, and 4,000 global variables to create personalized experiences.
- Use custom JavaScript, HTML, DekiScript, and CSS to create buttons, banners, and specific navigation experiences.
- Apply custom color schemes to product-specific help centers (i.e., our site's top-level categories, ~100 categories), so each help center has a streamlined feel with its product.
To maintain administrative scalability, we:
- Store most content in several product-specific content repositories, which contain 210+ articles with hundreds of content snippets; these content snippets are reused throughout the site, so when we need to make a change to a snippet, we only have to do this in a single location (i.e., the repositories).
- Use conditional content to document internal knowledge and processes.
- Adhere to a strict style guide to ensure content is written and presented in consistent formats.
We've extended our NiCE KM site to other products, including:
- Integration with Salesforce so that our customer service representatives have access to NiCE KM articles when working with cases.
- Integration with product APIs to automatically import data and information into articles.
- Expanding our existing integration with Ada, a chatbot vendor, to provide article content directly within bot conversations.
- Embedding NiCE KM articles with direct links in product Chameleon tours and EasyGenerator, an eLearning platform.
