Sure, but the usual support rep has no log access. But using a good knowledge base, he can answer things like "Flash 9 doesn't work" without tech assistance.
Why doesn't the tech support rep have access to the information he needs? The data is in the organisation.
Because he might not be qualified to read it and providing an aggregation of said data in a consumable form is too much implementation work?

In some organizations, he is not even allowed to read operational data without pre-screening.
