In their own words
USU Knowledge Management
USU Knowledge Management captures, curates, and delivers IT knowledge through AI-driven workflows, search, and chatbots. Its knowledge base supports templates, guided troubleshooting, multimedia, decision trees, versioning, access rights, translations, and configurable workflows. Semantic, self-learning search can retrieve answers from federated sources such as SharePoint and file systems, including within ticket workflows. Chatbots can guide users to articles, start self-healing routines, or log tickets through a multi-bot architecture powered by large language models. Editorial tools assist with translation, quality checks, hallucination prevention, and combining smaller articles into cohesive documents. Analytics track failed searches, document use, feedback, and workflow duration; e-learning includes questionnaires, tests, and completion tracking. Integrations include Salesforce, Zendesk, Intercom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and a public API. Deployment can be on-premises or cloud SaaS, with Windows Server and Linux support. Security information describes ISO 27001-certified data centers and mirrored-server high availability. Pricing is on request.
XWiki
XWiki is an open-source enterprise wiki and knowledge-management platform for collaboration, document management and structured data. It can be used for knowledge bases, collaborative intranets, public websites and business applications, with publishing for internal or external audiences. Editors can work in wiki syntax or a WYSIWYG interface, while version control allows earlier pages to be compared or restored. Page rights can govern viewing, editing and deletion at the page, child-page or whole-wiki level. More than 900 extensions include applications, macros, skins, plugins and themes. Listed connectors include Active Directory, Office 365, Google Apps and OnlyOffice; a RESTful API supports integration with other applications. XWiki is available as a self-hosted installation or through XWiki Cloud. Its Community edition is self-hosted and open source; cloud plans list capacities from 25 users to unlimited users. XWiki Cloud's 10-day demo trial can be extended twice. Cloud service is hosted in France on OVHcloud and includes backups, monitoring, antivirus scanning and security maintenance. If storage exceeds a plan allowance, wiki actions may be limited to viewing pages.
