What is Genesys Knowledge Center?

Genesys Knowledge Center allows you to make the best use of your enterprise knowledge by capturing, storing, and distributing it wherever it is needed. Let's take a closer look at the various capabilities of Knowledge Center and some corresponding use cases.

• Knowledge-assisted Channels
• Proactive Knowledge
• Knowledge Web Search

Knowledge-assisted Channels

With Knowledge Center, you can:

• Knowledge-enable channels by providing the right answers to customers in-channel to deflect interactions, leading to cost reduction and better customer service.
  • Knowledge-assisted Email form: Find applicable support articles based on email ticket submission and web form.
• Empower agents with context-appropriate knowledge in a unified desktop for faster resolution when agent-assisted service is needed.

Use Case: Knowledge-assisted Email

Basic Flow	Outcome 1	Outcome 2
Tracy clicks on an email web form to find out if GDemoTelecom has service in an area that she is moving to. Tracy types “Do you have service in Belmont, CA?” in the subject line. Tracy clicks out of the subject line to type the content in the message body. An FAQ search is invoked.	Tracy is provided with the coverage map for Belmont, CA as a suggested answer. She provides feedback and closes the window.	Tracy ignores the FAQ search and types content in the message body since she has more questions. An email request is logged and placed in queue.

Note: This use case requires customization of Web Form with Knowledge Search API.

Use Case: Knowledge-assisted Social or SMS

Basic Flow	Outcome 1	Outcome 2
@tibwizz sends a Tweet (or SMS) “looks like I will miss my connecting flight from LAX to SFO” to @blueskyairlines. Interaction is created and queued. Orchestration script invokes Knowledge API to find answers on what to do when you miss connections.	Answer found. @Blueskyairlines auto-responds to @tibwizz “Click here to schedule a call with our travel consultant to rebook”.	Answer not found. Queue the message for agent.

Note: This use case requires customization of Orchestration logic.

Proactive Knowledge

• Combine Knowledge with Proactive Engagement to proactively provide suggested articles at the right moment.
• Provide knowledge-based assistance for agents if the customer asks for a human-assisted channel escalation.
• Reduce effort, reduce friction and channel escalation.

Use Case: Proactive Knowledge
