“GitBook is a really frictionless, lightweight way to add documentation for us. Anyone on the team can just add something, it will always look the same, the structure is there, and the barrier to add something is really low.”
Selma Bennamane
Solutions Architect
“It was important for us to find a tool that provides format and features that would satisfy both our technical teams that feed documentation like API references, as well as our customer care team who produces user guides. That was an important factor in choosing GitBook.”
Catherine Carney
Senior Manager of Product Operations
“If we create good documentation with GitBook, and customers can use it effectively, they won’t need to call support. And that is a massive time and cost saving — so that’s something that we’re paying a lot of attention to right now.”
