Notes de l'éditeur

- An “Information-Centric” approach – Moves us from managing “documents” to managing discrete pieces of open data and content which can be tagged, shared, secured, mashed up and presented in the way that is most useful for the consumer of that information.A “Shared Platform” approach – Helps us work together, both within and across agencies, to reduce costs, streamline development, apply consistent standards, and ensure consistency in how we create and deliver information.A “Customer-Centric” approach – Influences how we create, manage, and present data through websites, mobile applications, raw data sets, and other modes of delivery, and allows customers to shape, share and consume information, whenever and however they want it.
- We’ve been a leader in the customer service software industry for over 10 years and known as a leader in the industry. Not only do we provide a leading SaaS solution we also support our customers with a world-class support experience. We live our mantra, Customer Service Software that Revolves Around You, our customers. Through our experience not only building the tools but also using them ourselves, we’ve been able to develop a wealth of best practices. Which is why I’m here today, I want to share our knowledge on building a repeatable process to source content for a successful knowledgebase in a multi-channel experience.[SLIDE][45 seconds]
- It is crucial for government agencies to adapt to current and emerging citizen engagement methods by embracing a multi-channel support approach that allows the public to reach out via the channel of their choice and (2) allows government agencies to manage multi-channel connectivity efficiently and cost-effectively.
- This is a chart demonstrating the industry trends in evolution of customersupport channels. As we all know, the phone has been in use for decades as a customer-support channel and continues to be used still. At the same time, latest technology trends are also driving expectations in customers service. In this day and age, you really have to be able to handle most if not all of these channels for support, and Parature will help you do that.
- Let’s define what a multi-channel support experience is. The multi-channel experience is an important part of any service strategy. It defines how your customers look to interact with your company, whether through, for example, web, phone, chat, search, or social. The goal is that the experience for you customers should be consistent regardless of the channel they choose. This is important because it needs to influence how you think about knowledge management. Throughout the next couple of slides, you should be thinking about each channel your customers use to reach out to you, and how delivering content through each of these channel affects what people are looking for, how the content should be formatted and to what audience the content should target.You want to ensure you’re delivering a consistent message but tailoring it appropriately for the channels you support.[SLIDE][1:30]
- Full-Service Online Support: For those who cannot find the information they need via self-service content, they can easily submit a help desk ticket, track its progress at their convenience, and receive an automatic email notification when their help ticket is resolved.
- Self-Service Online Support: The Parature Portal provides comprehensive and secure 24/7 support presence that matches your agency or department’s unique branding and needs.From the cloud-based support portal, visitors have immediate access to an intuitive and searchable knowledgebase where they can easily access the information your agency wants or needs to provide, including answers to frequently-asked questions, policies and procedures, downloadable forms, laws and regulations, fact sheets, the latest information updates and more.
- Increased Efficiency: When the public can find the answers and information they need without contacting a member of your service and support staff directly, it significantly reduces the number of phone calls and emails, increasing productivity.
