Shifting the Spotlight: Elevating Content’s Impact and the Rise of Self-Support Excellence
Tech writers and other information developers often feel underappreciated by organizational leaders who don’t grasp the importance of their work on overall success.
However, the shift towards customer experience and self-service support, partly due to the pandemic, has spotlighted the significance of self-support, changing consumer behavior and business operations.
Effective self-support entails consolidating product info, technical docs, and support content for easy access. It can reduce call center challenges, but leaders may not see its value.
The Software Information Industry Association (SIIA) is addressing this by introducing a “”Best Knowledge Center/Help Site”” category in their 38th annual CODiE Awards, celebrating software excellence.
