In the pace of modern support, knowledge can’t be an afterthought. The most effective Knowledge-Centered Service (KCS) programs treat capture as a live, in-the-flow activity—not a retrospective task.

Knowledge-Centered Service (KCS) is a proven methodology that integrates knowledge creation and management directly into the workflows of support, IT, and customer success teams to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction.

In self-service and support environments, a healthy knowledge base isn’t optional. It’s foundational. Knowledge health refers to how well your content supports speed, trust, and resolution.
