Technical Resource Centers - Enduring Consistency Across the Entire Customer Experience with Val Swisher of Content Rules, Inc.
•
1 gefällt mir•530 views
To serve and satisfy information-hungry consumers, we need to make changes to the way we organize and deliver technical content to those who need it. A technical resource center is a one-stop shop for product information designed to serve today’s savvy content consumers. Think of it as a modern version of online help, but designed to be useful to both prospects and existing customers alike. Creating a unified product content portal isn’t a new idea, but few organizations have done it right. It’s about time that changed. In this presentation, Val Swisher discusses the characteristics of a modern online technical resource center. She talks about some of the challenges involved in re-thinking how you create, manage, localize, organize, and deliver product content to those who need it. And, she provides a preview of the lessons you’ll need to learn in order to be an agent of change for your organization. Presented November 27, 2018, at Quadrus Conference Center for Information Development World 2018.

Part 1: Assessing the Current State: Needs Analysis and Information Gathering
Learn how to assess the current state of your technical support content by looking through the lens of content strategy and content engineering.
Traditionally, technical details about products and services were considered to be post-purchase content. Technical information — the stuff contained in owner’s manuals, user guides, and other instructional materials — was provided to consumers only after they purchased a product or service. However, that’s changing as companies recognize that prospects often search the web for technical content to make purchasing decisions.
Think of a technical resource center as an online, one-stop shop for information about your products and services. Over time, and done well, a technical resource center can help you grow your business by attracting prospects, while simultaneously working to support and build loyalty and trust with existing customers.

Ryan MacCarrigan’s keynote covers the growing role of Agile Development and Lean in the context of content development and delivery—where complex content is the “product” and the end goal is to shorten cycle times, eliminate waste, or improve measured business outcomes without sacrificing quality or accuracy.
The audience will learn:
How to structure strategic content development in a similar fashion to the Agile product development lifecycle
How the “Build-Measure-Learn” framework of Lean Startup fame can be applied to rapid content testing and delivery
How developing a Lean mindset can help content-driven organizations break down silos and “Fail Fast,” improving overall institutional knowledge.

My colleague and I managed a team of 5 to 7 writers, using Agile processes to successfully overhaul a Help system for complex genetic sequencing software in just over six months. The approach uses 3 weekly sprints that gets each writer 1) analyzing and identifying gaps in existing content 2) writing and updating content, and then 3) peer editing and revising content. The sprints overlap so that every week each writer is actively writing, peer reviewing and editing content.
Facing deadlines for frequent quarterly releases, we used Excel spreadsheets and OneNote notebooks to record meeting notes, topic TOCs and assignments, rather than a more administrative intensive ticket-based system (such as JIRA). Writers, whose skill levels ranged from junior to senior, learned how to use the software through hour-long question-and-answer group sessions with SMEs.
Attend this session to learn how an agile writing process can help boost collaboration and increase comradeship amongst information developers; decrease the time spent with subject matter experts, and optimize content development.

Your customers demand reliable customer service and don’t have time to waste with poor self-serve support portals that contain less helpful content than they should. Many customer service agents suffer from a lack of good warrantied product information and spend a lot of time copying and pasting information from PDFs, emails, and websites. The technology they use seems to be in constant flux yet access to the information they need doesn’t seem to get that much better. There has got to be a better way.
What if there was a better medium for finding, using, and exchanging the highest value content in your organization? Microcontent is a basic building block of good product documentation. When it can be broken out of that content, it can be used in many ways to feed other documents, FAQs, emails, knowledge bases, and even chatbots. Microcontent is also an ideal level of granularity to contribute and curate new source information to be used across the enterprise. So what is it and how does it work to provide a better customer service experience? Attend this session to gain more insight into microcontent and how it can help.

Most chatbots are rule-based. A rule defines that if certain keywords occur in the user’s question, a certain piece of content should be displayed. For example, “if the question includes words ‘replace’ and ‘battery,’ show the topic about replacing a battery.”
While this method is easy and relatively cheap to implement, it covers only simple use cases. It may work perfectly well if the amount of content is small and it’s not frequently updated. But what about a case when the procedure of replacing a battery is different for different product models? Or what if it’s different depending on the user’s role, and there are multiple possible roles and their combinations? You’d have to explicitly add rules for each variation and instruct the chatbot about the questions the user should be asked when information required for a precise and relevant answer is missing in the user’s question.
On top of that, every time you add new content, you have to manually add new rules. In the long run, rule-based chatbots are expensive and difficult to maintain, if the amount of content is significant and it’s frequently updated.
Another approach is to build a knowledge map of the subject domain which would automatically guide the chatbot about the questions the user should be asked, automatically identify semantic metadata of the content, and map the metadata to the knowledge map. This approach would make the chatbot smarter while reducing the maintenance efforts and costs.
In this session, Alex talks about both approaches and sees which approach works better in different use cases.

It can be difficult to onboard users to new and complex interfaces and workflows. New research shows that images and video enhance understanding and retention of complex information and tasks and can even increase productivity, but software often changes quickly and requires regular updates and localization.
How can we leverage the power of visual communication without having to constantly localize new visual content? Simplified User Interface (SUI) helps you create powerful and useful images to help your users better understand your content while extending its shelf life and often eliminating the need for localization.

Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Section 508 mandates that digital content be accessible to all people, even those with disabilities. Digital content is deemed to be accessible if it can be used as effectively by people with disabilities as by those without. Section 508 lays out guidelines for making content accessible to all. Many of the changes you can make to your content in order to enhance its utility for people with disabilities can provide value elsewhere. For example, making your content more accessible to the vision-impaired can also make your content more accessible and consumable for voice interfaces and chatbots. Attend this session to explore with Joe Gelb how making content accessible to everyone can provide your organization with hidden benefits and aid in the adoption of emerging content delivery channels. Discover how bringing your company's accessibility team into the mix can help you move intelligent assistant projects forward and ascribe greater monetary value to your content. November 29, 2017

It can be difficult to onboard users to new and complex interfaces and workflows. New research shows that images and video enhance understanding and retention of complex information and tasks and can even increase productivity, but software often changes quickly and requires regular updates and localization.
How can we leverage the power of visual communication without having to constantly localize new visual content? Simplified User Interface (SUI) helps you create powerful and useful images to help your users better understand your content while extending its shelf life and often eliminating the need for localization.

Mayo Clinic First Aid is a skill developed for Amazon’s Alexa voice service that provides self-care instructions for dozens of everyday mishaps and other illnesses or injuries, such as spider bites, sunburn or stroke. A small team at Mayo Clinic partnered with a voice-first technology developer to adapt existing digital content for a voice interface. With Lee Engfer, you’ll get a start-to-finish overview of the process, including a demo of the skill.
You will learn how the team created the skill using voice-first technology. And you’ll discover how the content is structured and tagged to support conversation.

Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Section 508 mandates that digital content be accessible to all people, even those with disabilities. Digital content is deemed to be accessible if it can be used as effectively by people with disabilities as by those without. Section 508 lays out guidelines for making content accessible to all. Many of the changes you can make to your content in order to enhance its utility for people with disabilities can provide value elsewhere. For example, making your content more accessible to the vision-impaired can also make your content more accessible and consumable for voice interfaces and chatbots. Attend this session to explore with Joe Gelb how making content accessible to everyone can provide your organization with hidden benefits and aid in the adoption of emerging content delivery channels. Discover how bringing your company's accessibility team into the mix can help you move intelligent assistant projects forward and ascribe greater monetary value to your content. November 29, 2017
