CHICAGO, May 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vanilla Forums, the leading provider of cloud-based community software, today announced the general availability of Vanilla Knowledge, their knowledge base addon.
Vanilla Knowledge is a powerful scalable multilingual solution that delivers the best and most important content from online communities, customer support, and product management into a single branded self-serve channel, eliminating silos and the need for multiple technology providers.
The Vanilla Knowledge addon approaches knowledge bases with two types of content: Guides for instructional manuals and Help Centers for a collection of standalone articles.
