Guided help

Solution overview
Nothing compares to the ease and convenience of eGain Guided Help™. With instant access to your knowledge base, customers answer questions and troubleshoot problems by themselves when it's convenient for them. For a growing number of customers, it's the solution they want, the way they want it.

Finding information with eGain Guided Help is so natural that most of your customers won't need to talk to an agent. Customers access your knowledge base through a standard web browser and simply type in their questions in everyday language. A simple, step-by-step, conversational process guides them to the solution. eGain Guided Help uses the patented technology of the eGain Inference® Reasoning Engine to match the context of customer requests with solutions in your knowledge base. The system prompts customers with clarifying questions until an appropriate answer is found. Solutions can link to other web pages, graphics, illustrations, or even software updates.

Decrease your inbound call volume
In most customer situations, 80 percent of the queries relate back to the same 20 percent of the possible problems. By making those frequently requested answers directly accessible to self-service users, you can decrease the amount of calls received by your contact center. And since web self-service transactions cost significantly less than agent-assisted transactions, you can increase customer satisfaction while simultaneously decreasing contact center operating costs.

Help customers find answers, not document lists

eGain Guided Help uses the patented search technology of the powerful Inference® Reasoning Engine to turn the search for a solution into an intuitive question-and-answer session. Customers are never confronted with responses such as 157 documents match your query or Sorry, 0 matches. Equally important, unresolved queries can be escalated to an agent with a complete record of each question answered. The end result is that customers get the answers they need in a timely, efficient manner.

Turn your website into an expert agent
By capturing the expertise of your best agents into a structured knowledge base, you enable your customers to consistently find the right answer. Using knowledge links, you can extend that process and let your customers search through technical notes, product support libraries, and other support related documents using the same, intuitive tools that your customer service agents use.
