Digital Adoption Boosts Enterprise Digital Transformation
We hear often that users find CRM solutions like Salesforce hard to navigate. In many situations, in order to complete tasks and activities, they turn to help desk teams or colleagues. As enterprises implement new releases, revised processes and migrate to newer applications, they also rely on help desk teams for training and support. Both scenarios increase avoidable costs. Improved Apps are able to mitigate these challenges, improving usability, and fostering engagement of your Salesforce platform.
Forrester defines Digital Adoption Platforms (DAP) as:
Platforms that automate systems training, onboarding, and customer education programs with programmed walkthroughs, contextual nudges, and personalized guidance for users. They integrate with enterprise applications and other digital tools to drive adoption, optimize usage, and promote digital engagement with in-app support and automation.
Although the primary use case for DAPs is seen as easing adoption of applications, Improved Apps target multiple use cases, offering wide-ranging features, from simple guided assistance to contextual content delivery and analytics. We often start with a quick win or proof of concept based on immediate business need and best practice but roll out enhanced capabilities over time as the business realises the return on investment.
