What is Universal Knowledge?

Universal Knowledge by Knowledge Powered Solutions is a knowledge management system which provides solutions for contact centers, help desks, internal knowledge management, and web self-service portals. The software can be integrated with a range of ITSM (IT Service Management), help desk, and CRM systems, websites & self-service portals, and social media channels.

Key benefits of using Universal Knowledge

  • Existing knowledge assets can be indexed and listed automatically, with multiple knowledge sources searched, patterns and concepts determined from within document sets, and keywords automatically extracted.

  • The built-in natural language search and self-learning capabilities allow users to search content by asking questions using natural phrases rather than keywords, with the system continually adding the phrasing used in searches into the index.

  • For important campaign information, new policies, or critical updates, users can employ the ‘Required Reading’ feature to track which customer service staff and help desk agents have received and read notices.

  • An automatically-generated list of the most used documents creates a dynamic ‘Frequently Offered Solutions’ section accessible by agents and available on the self-service portal, ensuring that the selection reflects the documents which are most commonly accessed without requiring manual maintenance.

  • User behavior, including search histories, knowledge contributions, and search success rates, can be tracked and used to identify training needs and recognize the contribution of authors of the most widely used documents.

    Pros
    The KPS System is a great tool and resource to house all scheduling knowledge management guides that provides ease of access and enhancements to improve overall team performance and quality.
    This product is super easy to use, all of the employees who are using this product love the user-friendliness.
    The KPS team is amazing to work with and provided excellent support to our team.
    Cons
    The UI is not terribly intuitive, which can be problematic. We're not always satisfied with the import functionality.
    Our environment is fast-paced and ever-changing. I doubt whether we could keep up with these and provide the levels of services that our customers demand without having KPS KMS in place.
    With a new generation of South Africans coming into the business market it becomes more and more difficult to mentor everyone in the same way.

    Knowledge Management in Developing Countries

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    With a new generation of South Africans coming into the business market it becomes more and more difficult to mentor everyone in the same way. The pressure that internships and learner-ships place on Snr resources is huge, but with KPS KM important knowledge can now be shared and distributed through the organisation as well as over the years.

    Pros

    Ease of harvesting knowledge from other systems. The AI like function of linking search phrases to topics. Taxonomy setup and linking of user rights. Management of content and the regular updating of it.

    Cons

    Collaboration between individuals could be more Graphic, but it works well.

    Critical software for our use in our contact centre

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    The significant positive effects on increased First Contact Resolution and Customer Satisfaction, decreased Complaints and AHT, better staff engagement (internally and with customers and their customers), better bottom line Financials, and overall ease and accuracy of implementation of changing information and processes. Our environment is fast-paced and ever-changing. I doubt whether we could keep up with these and provide the levels of services that our customers demand without having KPS KMS in place.

    Pros

    As a outsource contact centre, servicing multiple corporate and government accounts, an extremely good knowledge management software product is critical to the on-going successful delivery of all services. The KPS KMS fulfills that requirement in every regard. It provides significant bang for sensible bucks. It is relatively easy to setup, use, administer and maintain. Our contact centre agents and our customers love it, as do those who contact us. Major positive effects on AHT, First Contact Resolution, Financials, and Complaints etc

    Cons

    There is very very little to not like about this software - to the point that we as an organisation and sgnificant heavy users of it cannot think of any that easily comes to mind

    Strong functionality, great support

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    We've got a strong tool for our customer service team to use as a knowledge resource. The learning curve is a bit steep, but worth it.

    Pros

    I love the support we receive, and the robust functionality. KPS is very open to changes, and are positioned to be adaptive to customer needs.

    Cons

    The UI is not terribly intuitive, which can be problematic. We're not always satisfied with the import functionality. None of these are drastic issues, though.

    Vendor response

    Thank you, we appreciate you taking the time to complete this review of KPS Universal Knowledge. We are grateful for your comments about the depth of functionality and great customer support and we do understand your comments about the UI and the development team is currently working on improvements. The next release of Universal Knowledge will provide an easy to use intuitive UI that can be configured by end users. Thank you.

    KPS Review

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    The knowledge management software gave our team the edge in streamlining our scheduling processes and provided all resources that our teams needed to ensure our patients were scheduled and taken care of in a timely manner. The KPS team is amazing to work with and provided excellent support to our team.

    Pros

    The KPS System is a great tool and resource to house all scheduling knowledge management guides that provides ease of access and enhancements to improve overall team performance and quality.

    Cons

    In the beginning stages of implementations we did find that there were some difficulties customizing the software to meet our needs, this was immediately resolved and future enhancements improved our overall experience. The KPS development team is always exploring innovative ways to enhance the technology.
