Optimizing Customer Self-Solve Experience Using Intent at Red Hat

Presented at virtual Activate 2020. Self-solve experience is not optional but the new default. Customers subscribe to Red Hat products with varying levels of operational complexity. Ensuring customers have the right resources such as knowledge base, tooling, and support for troubleshooting is the key to customer renewal. Self-solve options save time and reduce customer frustration. Automation around top problems, proactive diagnostics collection, support request routing are the ways to improve workflow efficiency of support personnel handling the increased case workload.

In this session, we will present challenges and techniques used to improve the findability in self-solve experience and patterns to improve the workflow efficiency. We will also cover the need to infer customer intent from search keywords. We will present a way to differentiate the search intents using machine learning and the steps involved in it such as problem framing, data collection, model building, and end to end integration.
