SAN FRANCISCO, May 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WalkMe Inc. (NASDAQ: WKME), a leading provider of digital adoption solutions, today announced the availability of WalkMe Discovery, the latest innovation in the evolution of digital adoption technology. WalkMe Discovery gives IT executives and enterprise software owners unprecedented visibility into their enterprise software stack. WalkMe Discovery automatically detects all the web-based apps a company is running, who is using what software, and whether they’re using it as intended.

Paired with WalkMe’s unmatched capabilities to drive software adoption, companies now have a broader range of choices to maximize ROI once they understand the real inefficiencies in their software stack.

Achieving sustainable growth is a top priority for enterprises today, which puts immense pressure on software budgets to prove ROI and cut waste. And with large enterprises unaware of 51%¹ of the applications deployed in their companies, it’s tough for enterprise software owners to know where to start finding efficiencies. What’s more, the lack of visibility into the tech stack greatly contributes to the $16M² annual investment wasted on software that’s duplicative or unused.

WalkMe Discovery takes a unique approach to identifying and analyzing usage of web-based applications, shadow IT, and home-grown cloud applications. Unlike other solutions that only provide basic login data or require deep integrations, WalkMe Discovery delivers click-by-click data, layering on organizational and employee attributes to understand usage in the context of the jobs people are trying to get done. This approach provides a more holistic view of the software stack.

“Optimizing software spend and driving efficiencies isn’t just about reducing costs, it’s about driving adoption of technology to ensure enterprises are not only paying for what they need, but also getting what they paid for,” said Dan Adika, CEO & Co-Founder, WalkMe. “With the availability of WalkMe Discovery, WalkMe is the only provider that helps enterprises maximize the efficiency of software spend with insight into opportunities for enterprise-wide cost savings and with solutions for improving adoption, unlike point solutions that only provide one or the other.”

Available today, WalkMe Discovery is free through December 31, 2023 to companies—new and existing WalkMe customers—that have a strategic initiative to optimize software investments. See further details here.

Customer and analyst quotes:

“WalkMe Discovery is a well designed solution coming to market at just the right time for enterprises feeling immense pressure to do more with less. Based upon our early review of the product, we believe that WalkMe Discovery provides an important window into the quality of use metrics, and combined with the WalkMe Digital Adoption Platform, evolves it into more of a ‘digital optimization platform.’ And with ‘lean-sizing’ in focus for so many companies, offering WalkMe Discovery for free really lowers the barrier for organizations wishing to rationalize software spend without heavy investment in time and budget.”
–Daniel Newman, CEO and Chief Analyst at the Futurum Group

“WalkMe Discovery delivers the visibility needed to make sure your time, effort and resources are spent in the most impactful way. The data provides insight into what software is most strategic to our sales team, so we can optimize software investment and the way we enable and engage them through digital adoption.”
–Steffaney Zohrabyan, Sales Enablement Insights & Innovation, Cisco

“For any organization starting out on their digital adoption journey, WalkMe Discovery delivers the visibility and intelligence required to focus efforts for maximum impact. It's the perfect dataset for planning and prioritizing your digital adoption roadmap and provides organizations a simple way to view, understand, and optimize their tech stack.”
–Kristy Ruzesky, Digital Adoption Manager, Federated Co-operatives Limited

“WalkMe Discovery is going to relieve the burden for our digital and IT leadership and those who are analyzing license costs for all of our departments.”
–Alexa Cordell, Digital Learning Manager, EDF Renewables
