What is WalkMe?
WalkMe is a Digital Adoption Platform that focuses in supporting users to adopt the applications required to perform their work. The range of features that WalkMe provides, supports users as they explore a new application or new processes in an old application by providing contextual help. Users can also access resources outside of the application, like user guides or videos, and links to external websites that support the business process. For implementation owners, this means that help resources have a central access point within the application. Strategically applied, it takes the guesswork out of what drop down menu selections mean or how to complete the next step of a process.
WalkMe's focus and goal is intuitive User Experience and efficiency. To accomplish this goal, WalkMe can be used to augment an applications User Interface to provide intuitive actions for faster completion of processes. These and other WalkMe functions are there, on-demand, when you need help.
