KCS Phase 1: Adoption
Phase 1 MeasurementsCompetency profile
Ratio of known to new incidents
Participation
Technology Requirements
Solution Quality Index
Target for Exit to Phase 2• 80‐90% of analysts are KCS II or KCS III
• Reuse rate is equal to or greater than creation rate
• Participation rates level off between 65% and 85% (this rough range represents enough use of the knowledgebase to sustain the methodology)
• Technology must support the workflow (through modifications to existing tools or acquisition of new tools)
• Meeting defined targets

Target for Exit to Phase 3• Reuse rates are two to three times
creation rates (70‐85% of resolutions come from reused knowledge)
• Participation rate trend has stabilized
• Increase compared to baseline
• Decrease compared to baseline
• Increase by at least 25%
• 80-90% of solutions are consistently rated at least “acceptable” and the process for evaluation is stable
• Decreased since Phase 0 baseline

Customer Value v. Support Spending
• Approximately 2/3 of value providing solution to customer is lost when customer contacts Support
• Most of all resources are spent on assisted support– Example: Microsoft has 13K people in support, only 450 in self help
Bigger gains when promoting Proactive and Self Help options
versus making Agents more efficient with Assisted Support

KCS for Self Help
• Monetize e-service delivery by moving low-value interactions to the web
• Key feature: web case deflection“Stone Cobra first assisted Juniper Networks with a critical
and complex Knowledge Management/KB initiative in 2005 that contributed greatly to our 3 consecutive ASP
Top 10 Web Support awards and a $23.6 million savings over 2 years. Our success with that engagement made it a no-brainer to bring them back for our new KB launch in 2008.”

KCS for Self Help
• Unifying across Agent support and
customer Self Help

Looking at the Right Metrics
• Increase Agents’ productivity – Same case load– Faster TTR • Increase Self Help
– Decrease case load– Slower TTR (customer
handles easy cases)
