We’re proud that Gartner recognized USU Customer Service Knowledge Management (CSKM) as a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for its USU Customer Service Knowledge Management (CSKM).
Tu us, this recognition reflects something we've believed since the beginning: knowledge management should do more than store and retrieve information. It should actively empower every advisor, every AI agent, and every customer to act with confidence, speed and reliability. That is what we call Knowledge Empowerment and it is what Gartner evaluated.
Following the combination of USU and Mayday in 2025, USU CSKM brings together leading knowledge management expertise into a single platform, serving more than 400 customers across 31 countries.
For 2026, we’re focused on three areas:
-
AI-driven knowledge quality
-
Agentic workflow automation
-
Tighter integration with the tools customer service teams already use
