The FRITZ! Journey as told by Timo, Knowledge Management

Timo, Technical Editor / Knowledge Management

The complete package.

It’s the overall mix that just feels right to me here: I have variety in my work, I like my team, and I’m able to organize the way I work myself as much as possible. I’ve now been with FRITZ! for more than 20 years, and I know that nobody ends up burned out. It’s deliberately not encouraged to build up excessive overtime here. I also like working for a company that is still partly run by its founders.

Focused on customer needs

As a technical editor, I primarily write instructions for the knowledge database on the FRITZ! website. If our customers need to learn how to set up their FRITZ!Box, or establish a VPN connection with their smartphone, they can read about it there. Naturally, we also want our instruction pages to sit at the top of Google. My colleagues and I work closely with the technical support team to identify relevant topics and the right keywords to use, since they’re the ones who receive all our customers’ questions about FRITZ! products.

All about collaboration

I’m also creating an in-house wiki that’s specially tailored to FRITZ!’s products and requirements. Something I particularly love about my job is the great variety of topics. New technologies and devices are constantly being added, so the queries we receive change accordingly. So we are always needing to update and amend our documentation. It can happen that I continue writing or finish off a colleague's texts or they edit mine. Fortunately, the workflows at FRITZ! are pretty streamlined and we’re able to publish fast.
