So you've rolled out knowledge management in your contact center (or you're thinking about it). How do you know if it's actually solving issues faster and making customers happy? If KM is part of your customer service strategy, especially if you’re integrating assisted- and self-service with CRM, the answer is critical -- and it changes the things you should be measuring.

If your contact center has a knowledge management initiative, you need to know the metrics around this critical tool that will give you answers to these questions that your ROI and customer satisfaction depend on:

  • How do you measure calls deflected to self-service if you never got the call in the first place?
  • Is your “number of articles read” metric really telling you anything valuable?
  • How can you start measuring which articles actually resolve contacts, instead of just counting them?

Join us to learn how to develop role-based dashboards that pull together knowledge and customer interaction data to help make management and reporting  clear and accessible for tracking performance and ROI and continuously improving customer satisfaction.
