Knowledge Management

Capture, Share, and Reuse Knowledge to Resolve Issues Faster

Every time your team solves a problem, that solution should add value across your organization, not get lost in a closed ticket. Alemba Service Manager’s Knowledge Management capability embeds the Knowledge-Centered Service (KCS) methodology into daily operations, making knowledge creation, sharing, and reuse a seamless part of your support workflow.

This approach empowers service desks to resolve issues faster, improves first-line fix rates, and enables customers to solve routine problems themselves through the self-service portal. The result: fewer tickets, lower support costs, and a more informed, satisfied user base.

Why KCS Matters

KCS isn’t just about building a static knowledge base. It’s a living, evolving practice that ensures knowledge is captured during issue resolution, validated through use, and refined over time.

With Alemba, KCS is built into the platform’s core. Analysts can create, update, and link articles in real time, while usage metrics and feedback loops keep content relevant and actionable. End-users benefit from intelligent suggestions and alerts, resolving common issues without needing to raise a ticket.
