Knowledge Management in Government
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) success story
The IRS had to modernize its customer service organization, improve citizen experiences across touchpoints, fast track issue resolution and benefit claims, and yet somehow contain costs. Using eGain’s knowledge automation and digital engagement platform, the IRS delivered easy taxpayer experiences in a secure, efficient cloud environment.

Challenges
Solution
Per Gartner, poor CX has been the biggest barrier to digitalization success and disparate knowledge silos in organizations is a big deterrent to good CX . No wonder Gartner rates knowledge management (KM) as the #1 technology to improve not only CX, a critical success factor for digitalization success, but also the employee experience (EX) and operational performance. But legacy KM systems have failed to deliver the goods, calling for a dire need to modernize it with a totally new approach called the “Knowledge Hub™.”The eGain Knowledge Hub is the first such solution to unify and orchestrate all the essential technology building blocks of KM, including content management, profiled access, intent inference, search methods, conversational guidance (what to say next), process guidance (what to do next), analytics, personalization, and connectors to existing systems, powered by AI, ML, and analytics.
