Deflect tickets with findable, accurate articles.
“Right info, right user, right time” via smart IA and search.
Templates, workflows, versioning, and localization that keep KBs clean.

Answers to the most common questions about launching your knowledge base or online help portal.
Yes. We decompose long manuals and PDFs into single-topic web articles designed for faster search and easier updates. Redirects and canonical links preserve your existing SEO and history.
Yes. We can work with your developers to implement context-sensitive help targets for linking from your application to the online help or deliver content to be placed in the application.
Absolutely. Launch a Congility base portal with a minimal information architecture and your top 50 deflection topics. Then expand with analytics-driven insights.
Online Help is task-focused assistance embedded in or linked from your product. It delivers the right information to the right user at the right time so people can complete real tasks without leaving the flow. Modern Online Help typically includes conceptual, procedural, and reference content. To decide whether you need Online Help, a Knowledge Base, or a Documentation Portal, you should consider, how much content you have (and how fast it grows), how tightly you need to integrate with other systems and finally, how your users will access and search the content.
Task-based documentation for a single application
Typically under 1,000 topics
Context-sensitive help tied directly to the UI (F1, links, in-app panel)`
While they’re actively using the software
When they need a fast, in-flow answer to complete a task
Products that need lightweight, embedded help rather than a full documentation site
Online Help is best for single-application products that need simple, in-app, task-level guidance.
Stand-alone articles and reference content
Documentation for multiple products or services
Internal support team documentation
Tightly integrated with Help Desk or CRM
Limited customization and shallow hierarchy
Any time, from web or support links
For self-service troubleshooting and “how do I…” questions
Knowledge Bases are best for multi-product support environments where users expect always-on, searchable self-service.
Large, mixed content sets: topics, data sheets, enterprise docs
Documentation spanning multiple applications, products, or hardware systems
Database-backed, dynamic design
Role-based access, advanced search and filtering
Strong metadata model
Across teams, regions, and products
For reference, training, and operational content in one place
Portals are best for large enterprises that need a unified documentation experience across products, teams, and systems.
Whether you use Online Help, a Knowledge Base, or a Portal, a few metrics show if it’s working:
Self-service rate / ticket deflection on targeted intents
Search effectiveness (zero-result queries, reformulation rate)
Article health (usage, bounce rate, short vs long dwell)
Time-to-answer in agent and customer workflows
Cut tickets, speed answers, and improve adoption with a KB and help portal your users actually trust.
