The challenge

IBM's complex B2B products suffered from high user abandonment driven by inadequate onboarding and insufficient in-product support, which held back subscription rates and sales. The company needed a way to guide users through core features without relying on manual documentation.

The solution

IBM deployed WalkMe's Digital Adoption Platform to provide streamlined onboarding and in-app guidance across 25+ products, integrating WalkMe with Segment to centralize analytics and personalize step-by-step guidance for core features.

Overall, WalkMe has helped us improve product usage, consumption, and retention by 300%. We've been able to reach 80% digital offering revenue growth, which was 2X our target.
