Budgeting is top of mind when it comes to CIOs<\/a> and IT leadership. They are responsible for selecting and maintaining software that suits their organizations, and of course their users<\/a>.

WalkMe\u2019s Digital Adoption Platform (DAP)<\/a> can be pivotal to reduce IT costs, mitigate risks, and lower support ticket creation; read on to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get visibility into software usage and spend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since there is no magic ball that can predict future software spend and which tech is worth investing in, CIOs and IT leaders need to have other methods at their disposal.

WalkMe Insights<\/a> supports IT executives by helping them identify business-critical apps and commonly used software. They can immediately understand how users engage with systems, track cross-org business processes as well as quickly spot poor software adoption. With all this knowledge, CIOs and IT leaders can change how software is used and adopted throughout an organization.

If an expensive software isn\u2019t fully utilized, IT leaders have the choice to remove that software from their tech stack or use DAP to pinpoint where users are dropping off.  Perhaps certain flows need to be automated or users require in-app guidance to complete more involved business processes; DAP can leverage this data and give actionable insights to optimize user journeys<\/a> and in effect, maximize the value of software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact employee experience  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Blissfully<\/a>, organizations with over 250 employees use at least 123 SaaS applications; <\/strong>and the typical mid-large size company changes about 40% of their entire SaaS stack<\/strong> every two years. That is a lot of internal software changes for the average employee to contend with. How are they expected to keep up with the constant change<\/a>, even if it\u2019s in the company\u2019s best interests? 

WalkMe\u2019s Workstation<\/a> is a product that transforms all of the WalkMe platform into a single interface for employee needs. Employee experience sits at the forefront as Workstation connects employees to any enterprise application to get their jobs done. It simplifies tasks through automation and has a friendly interface that makes it easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
