Pros

  • Connecting freelancers with clients

Guru.com - The Real Knowledge Expert!

Support Team Leader in Customer Service at IMG (1001-5000 employees employees)

Pros

  • The segmentation of information into Collections, boards and individual cards allows you to keep a good control and organization of information contained within.
  • An add-on app for Slack and a Chrome extension mean you don't even need to have the Guru.com site open to still be able to access all of your stored information.
  • The ability to allow some or all users to create & edit cards adds value and strengthens the team collaboration.

Cons

  • Continue expanding! Would love to see an add-on for Outlook so emails could be exported across to cards.

Return on Investment

  • 100 times better than writing up and printing multiple training manuals & presentation handouts!
  • Team members know they have easy access to any and all knowledge so they can refresh at their own pace without the need for repeat training sessions/presentations.

Other Software Used
