Metamorphosis Award

Splunk

The Splunk Lantern mission is to drive adoption and customer retention by providing self-help content. Our content aims to replicate the type of help a customer would get from a customer success manager, professional services, or other paid options that not all customers can afford. We provide this content by crowdsourcing expertise from customer-facing Splunkers and partners, then writing up that knowledge in articles. Last year, we used the CXOne Expert Review Manager, Custom Classifications, Author Attribution, and Draft Contributor features to assist us in crowdsourcing from over one hundred different contributors. We also strategically use Paths and tabbed Guide pages to create more prescriptive content experiences that guide less experienced Splunk users through specific stages of their customer journeys in security, observability, or specific industries. Finally, Content IDs enable us to collaborate across the business on customer success campaigns that share Lantern content, while preventing broken links as we continuously improve and expand our site. A survey of 92 Splunk Lantern users conducted at the end of our last fiscal year indicates a 90.2% customer satisfaction rate with the content found on Splunk Lantern and our returning users increased 687% from the previous fiscal year.

Procore

Procore Support Center websites serve as a single source of truth for all web and mobile application users. Whether they’re viewing our KB sites from their desktop or a mobile device, we’ve created a seamless and optimized user experience that’s responsive, mobile-friendly, and locale-specific. Our en-US Support Center (https://support.procore.com) features over 6,500 pages of help content. New and existing users frequently visit our Support Center sites to find quick answers to their product-related questions. Each product’s landing page features user-friendly tabbed navigation with one-click access to a full library of tutorials, FAQs, training videos, interactive workflow diagrams, permission matrices, release notes, and more. Google continues to feature content from our sites as top search results. In July 2021, Google featured pages from our Support Center in the top 10 search results for over 1.7k keywords and over 50 Featured Google Snippets. Try Googling “upload drawings” to see what Google ranks as the top organic search results. We have also implemented SSO-like behavior using Mindtouch’s API User Authentication protocols to seamlessly log users into the Support Center, which makes it easier for us to track their usage so we can optimize their page viewing and search experiences, as well as streamline their web-to-case Support Ticket interactions. We have also implemented a contextual help system that enables Procore end-users to have one-click access to support (KB) articles in a pop-up modal that’s an embedded experience within the Procore web application (https://app.procore.com). To help streamline the content management challenges for our technical writers, we’ve also created several content management utilities using Mindtouch’s API to help us manage attachments, hyperlinks, and tabbed navigation. Our site’s rich Media Library gives editors easy access to reuse content across our site, including icons, banners, table styles, and videos.
