Operational Knowledge

Turn scattered know-how into the next right step.

Connect recordings, documents, and conversations to the people, decisions, and controls behind the work. HEIDI turns reviewed knowledge into context your teams can find and reuse.

The new know-how layer

Bring supported source material into one connected view

HEIDI extracts relevant context from supported recordings, documents, images, audio, and transcripts, then connects it to the work it describes.

Knowledge connections

Connect the places where operational context already lives

Bring documents, conversations, tickets, and project context into the same governed knowledge foundation. HEIDI and Automation can then work from linked source context instead of isolated files.

01

Conversations and mail

Keep relevant messages and handoff discussions connected to their operational context.

Slack · Outlook

02

Knowledge and files

Bring approved documents, wiki guidance, and shared files into the same source-linked foundation.

Google Drive · OneDrive · Confluence · Notion

03

Delivery and work systems

Relate tickets and delivery context to the processes, decisions, and owners they affect.

Jira · GitHub

Connected knowledge in practice

Six operational uses for the same governed foundation

  1. 01

    Customer support knowledge

    Connect tickets, runbooks, and product guidance so answers and proposed next steps stay grounded in reviewed sources.

  2. 02

    Sales handoffs

    Keep approved positioning, templates, notes, and handoff context available to the teams that need them.

  3. 03

    Onboarding with context

    Connect SOPs, project context, ownership, and decisions so new team members can understand the work.

  4. 04

    Automation with context

    Give workflows access to reviewed policies, exceptions, and prior-case context before execution.

  5. 05

    Compliance and governance

    Keep policies, approvals, evidence, and decision ownership traceable for review.

  6. 06

    Operational intelligence

    Examine connected tools, documents, and conversations to identify friction and improve shared practice.

Explore relationships

See how operational knowledge connects

Move between a close view and the wider map. The visual keeps the source context and relationship structure visible.

  1. 01

    Relationship visualization

    Explore how topics, systems, assets, people, and source material connect.

  2. 02

    Natural-language retrieval

    Ask grounded questions about the knowledge available in the workspace.

  3. 03

    Impact and dependency analysis

    Trace downstream relationships before a process, policy, or system changes.

  4. 04

    Process discovery

    Follow work across systems, teams, documents, decisions, and handoffs.

  5. 05

    Expertise and ownership

    Relate reviewed know-how to the people and roles responsible for it.

  6. 06

    Onboarding and context exploration

    Let new team members explore why work happens, not only which step comes next.

Regulated operations

Operational Knowledge that supports audits and change

Repository governance alone is not enough. Connect controls to decision points, retain evidence trails, review documentation health, and compare intended work with observed work.

Core capability

The Knowledge Graph

Link operational documents, workflows, recordings, decisions, and ownership so teams can search with context and reuse reviewed knowledge.

Automation

Give workflows reviewed process context.

Documentation

Create SOPs and guides from connected knowledge.

Analysis

Understand steps, decisions, and handoffs.

HEIDI assistance

Ground answers in the knowledge available to your workspace.

Knowledge GraphSearchable operational relationships
Knowledge Graph interface

Knowledge continuity

Retain reviewed expertise when roles or teams change.

Connected context

Link knowledge to workflows, documents, owners, and decisions.

Contextual retrieval

Ask questions against the knowledge available to your workspace.

Operational reuse

Use reviewed knowledge in documentation, training, and automation.

Reuse knowledge

SOP creation with HEIDI

Turn connected knowledge into structured Standard Operating Procedures. Describe the process, choose a visualization style, apply your branding, and refine the result.

  1. 01

    Voice-guided capture

    Capture an expert walkthrough with voice guidance and retain its source context for review.

  2. 02

    Decision and flow visualization

    Show process steps, decision points, branches, and handoffs as a readable flow.

  3. 03

    PDF export

    Export the reviewed procedure as a portable document for controlled sharing.

  4. 04

    Visual and text refinement

    Refine wording, tables, diagrams, and supporting detail before publishing.

  5. 05

    Branding controls

    Apply the organization name, logo, and a consistent visual treatment.

  6. 06

    IDP and document processing

    Use processed document material as reviewed input to the same SOP workflow.

Use cases

Put Operational Knowledge to work

Move from documented know-how to guidance and repeatable execution without separating the source context from the result.

SOP creation

Turn proven work into step-by-step procedures teams can follow.

Documentation

Capture steps, decisions, handoffs, and exceptions in one place.

Knowledge retrieval

Find policies, rules, templates, and the context behind the work.

BPMN 2.0 export

Export standardized processes for governance and downstream execution.

One operational foundation

Connect knowledge to HEIDI and Automation

Operational Knowledge provides the source context. HEIDI uses it to answer and guide, while the Automation builder turns reviewed procedures into repeatable workflows.

Q&A

Frequently asked questions

Learn more about how Process Designer works and how it can help your organization.

What is a Knowledge Graph and why does it matter?+

A Knowledge Graph is a connected map of your organization's knowledge—topics, systems, assets, people, and their relationships. Unlike traditional file storage, it shows how things connect, enabling AI-powered search, impact analysis, and relationship discovery across your entire organization.

What is the difference between task mining and process mining?+

Task mining shows how work is really done on the screen, step by step. Process mining shows what happened in system logs like ERP or CRM. Operational Knowledge adds the missing business context - the why, the judgement, and the handoffs - so you can reduce training time, standardize work faster, and spot automation value instead of just generating another recording.

Why is process documentation important?+

It creates a single source of truth. Without it, knowledge is trapped in heads or chats. Documentation ensures consistency, speeds up onboarding, and provides the ground truth for AI assistance.

How does SOP standardization help?+

Standardized SOPs reduce errors and rework. When everyone follows the same best practice, quality improves, and it becomes easier to automate the stable parts of the process.

How do you ensure knowledge retention?+

By capturing knowledge as it happens (recording experts) and structuring it into a Knowledge Graph. This means when an expert leaves, their know-how stays behind in a usable format, not just a folder of videos nobody watches.

How does relationship discovery work in the Knowledge Graph?+

The Knowledge Graph automatically identifies and visualizes connections between entities as you add knowledge. You can explore these relationships interactively, ask natural language questions like 'What depends on SAP?', and discover hidden patterns across your organization.
