Knowledge Management is supposed to increase the innovative power for problem solving whereas Customer Relationship Management is supposed to increase the customer satisfaction and thereby the customer loyalty. This case study followed a mixed approach to combine aspects from the Knowledge Management and the Customer Relationship Management. Matter of this study was a small-size organization that had a demand for a ticket system for the 2 nd and 3 rd level support as part of their customer service. Because of an increasing volume of incoming requests, it was necessary to change the system from e-mail clients to a ticket system. Additionally, the company wanted to assure that all agents are able to process all types of requests in order to keep up good service quality even if the experts are not available. For this reason, the concept of this study was not only to introduce a ticket system, but also to implement a Knowledge Base storing the knowledge how to solve the requests in shape of sample .
