SHARE

One major reason why many complex ERP software solutions fail is because they lack a comprehensive knowledge base. Without the necessary information and guide to fall back on, users could find it difficult to use any tool. The lack of a comprehensive knowledge base leads to many complex enterprise systems not being utilized to their maximum potential.

A good all-in-one business tool remains useful as long as it is easy to keep using it. This is not possible without a comprehensive knowledge base. A knowledge base is like Wikipedia as it has everything you need to know about the business tool as they give you the guidance to look up any information regarding the tool.

Vault’s knowledge base is a comprehensive guide featuring documentation and step-by-step tutorials on its features and functionalities. It is always up to date and provides a central source of information.

 

What is a knowledge base?

As the name would suggest, a knowledge base is a resource that has information related to a particular topic, tool, or technology. It is a much-needed resource that helps bring together information that would otherwise be spread across multiple resources such as email interactions, forum discussions, comment threads, blog posts, and more. A knowledge base is a central repository of information containing all the relevant documentation, articles, and more that help users find the specific information they need.

The content hosted on a knowledge base includes:

  • FAQs
  • Troubleshooting guide
  • Audio/Video/ text tutorials
  • User manuals
  • Runbooks
  • Company details, licensing information, etc.

It is often implemented in an online self-service library where users can easily search for and disseminate information regarding any topic, product, service, or utility with respect to the tool they use. Advanced knowledge bases allow users to easily organize a vast amount of information. They should also provide version control for every document and resource hosted in the knowledge base.
