Use Cases to Integrate Knowledge with SAP Service Cloud

Integrate Knowledge Central with your SAP Service Cloud to provide unified service experiences to your customers and agents throughout their journey.

When an SAP customer chooses to invest in a SAP Knowledge Central knowledge management strategy for their SAP Service Cloud deployment, they create an experience that allows both internal users and customers to quickly get answers to questions for the products or services they are using. It is essential to identify the cornerstone content that provides the best answer based on your customer's support needs.

With Expert integrations, extend the answer to a question or a problem into the individual application interfaces that are used at a specific point of a journey to create effortless support experiences.

Use Cases for SAP Service Cloud Deployments

To help the business become successful in meeting goals and objectives, consider use cases for how knowledge workers solve problems, learn to accomplish a function, or understand a system or process.

Identify use cases to allow the Expert Professional Services Team to define the user stories that need to be implemented. With use cases and user stories defined, we can audit existing support-related content to determine the cornerstone content that will lead to successful outcomes for both customers and agents.
