When is it time for a knowledge base?

A knowledge base enables your end users to help themselves. It is a place where up-to-date information, resources, troubleshooting tips, and answers to questions on your products lives. How do you know if a knowledge base is right for your organization?

It may be the right time to take the leap from FAQ list to a knowledge base if:

You have outgrown a simple FAQ list; questions have become too complex.
The number of FAQs is too long for your customers and support staff to efficiently find what they need.
Customer support costs are too high.
Customer support tickets are staying open too long.
Answers are getting – or needing to be – more nuanced or in-depth.
There are multiple ways to achieve certain tasks.
