Information is only useful if it can be found quickly, easily, and when needed. Oracle Knowledge Advanced offers superior, multilingual search capabilities to meet the needs of your customer service organization—even as those needs change.

Natural language search simplifies search activities by automatically understanding search terms/phrases using prepackaged industry-specific search dictionaries created in multiple languages. Wizard-based administration tools simplify the addition of company-specific terminology. Self-learning capabilities dynamically bring the best answers to the top to maximize customer self-service usage and success rates.

Knowledge doesn’t always reside in one location, but now you can leverage existing knowledge stores and investments. Federated search crawls data sources at once—including sources external to your knowledgebase—and returns the right answers.

With the following Oracle Advanced Knowledge search capabilities, the right information is always delivered to customers and agents exactly when needed:

Provide seamless customer experience and support globalization with best-in-class language support in 33 languages. Create and manage knowledge in the user's native language to increase usage and deliver higher knowledge creation productivity.

Easily translate articles across multiple touchpoints with side-by-side translation. Translations are always preserved, and users can easily compare and highlight changes between versions. Global companies can leverage knowledge assets in multiple languages using cross-lingual search.

Oracle Knowledge Analytics helps users gain new insights with profile-driven dashboards that provide interactive views of data. A set of intuitive, prebuilt reports—also based on profile—simplify reporting. These reports delve into all aspects of your knowledgebase’s performance, including:

• Content related reports
• Search related reports
• CRM integration reports

Business users can easily build ad-hoc reports so they have the information they need to take the appropriate actions.

Reduce agent training time and increase customer success with guided knowledge. Guided Assistance leads service agents or customers through a series of questions and answers to diagnose and resolve issues. Guided Assistance can also be used with the Dynamic Agent Desktop to provide step-by-step troubleshooting resolution, reducing the need for long-term agent training and ensuring consistent customer experiences and resolutions.

Including Oracle Intelligent Advisor interviews in knowledge articles lets users get answers about policies and other business processes by answering guided questions directly in the body of the article. These embedded interviews are available to agents working on service requests and to self-service users.

Customer service agents can add interviews when they create or edit articles. When authors or reviewers open the article in authoring mode, they will see the interview just as self-service users will. Self-service users can view an article and respond to the embedded interview questions. Responses are processed in real time so that once the interview is completed, users will have the answer or a resolution to their issue.
