Knowledge will always be part of business operations. Set up your knowledge management system and help your organization retain critical information, boost employee productivity and more.
Research by McKinsey shows that implementing searchable wikis and similar internal tools reduces the time spent by employees searching for business information by as much as 35%, enabling them to complete tasks faster and more efficiently.
In fact, TSIA found that improved knowledge sharing within organizations can increase productivity, with the biggest group of respondents estimating a growth between 20% and 30%.
A knowledge base also ensures the information and expertise accumulated by tenured employees remain even after they retire or move on from your company.
Lastly, a public-facing knowledge base fosters good relationships with customers. According to Forrester, 71% of consumers say “valuing their time” is the best way to provide good services, and a self-serve 24/7 knowledge base does exactly that.

Ready to get started with your knowledge base? Consider the following tips to help you along your entire building process. A well-designed knowledge management system goes a long way in ensuring users get what they need fast.
Typically, you have three types of users: regular users, contributors and administrators. Regular users search and view the database and also leave comments. Contributors upload knowledge base articles and files. Lastly, Administrators approve new articles and manage existing documents. Plan your user roles ahead to prevent revisions when building your knowledge base.
Since users see the titles of documents first, make sure headers convey enough information to determine the article’s content. For example, “HR Policy: How to File for Employee Overtime Pay” might be a better title than “HR Policy No. 32.” Your users will have an easier time using the knowledge base if they can find what they’re looking for in one go.
Aside from writing descriptive, using synonyms and keywords in the articles makes it easier for users and customers to find information in the knowledge base. When creating the content, be sure to use keywords and synonyms in the body for easy searchability. For example, users looking for “guidelines” might search for “procedures” or “rules” instead.
Building software from the ground up via coding is time- and resource-intensive. Instead, start your knowledge management initiatives faster by using app templates. Look for a base or template application that includes functionalities you’d want in your knowledge base, such as user commenting and feedback, email alerts or notifications and search filters via category.
