What is a Digital Adoption Platform? [Video]

What’s a DAP? DAP stands for Digital Adoption Platform. Companies use a DAP to speed up user adoption of new enterprise software.

A DAP is an overlay on enterprise software (like Oracle Cloud, Salesforce, or Workday) that guides the users through the system. DAPs provide helpful tips in pop-up messages and step-by-step instructions through complex business processes. The DAP helps users in the live environment and helps companies to scale the adoption of a new software in less time.

Companies usually implement a DAP so that the user can get help in the moment, when they need it. This saves a lot of time and money.

In the video below, Maverick’s CEO and VP of Sales and Marketing explain more about DAP’s and why you need one.

What is the digital adoption platform? Well, a digital adoption platform is a software platform that allows you to overlay an enterprise business system like Oracle, or workday, or SAP or Salesforce, with some software on top of it that allows different things to happen. It allows you to have little pop ups, task lists, things that can actually looks like it’s almost in the software that you’re doing or on your operating system, but it’s a separate overlay. But with that you can do a lot of things with digital adoption. So it’s a software platform that allows you to embed and into a live system. Some cool things that will help you kind of as guardrails are, are linked directly through a system.

Greg George

Yeah, I think something we see a lot or hear a lot is companies that are implementing digital adoption platforms is that they want their users to be able to get help in the moment. And the challenge is if I’m a user, not being able to access help, or having a request a support ticket, and waiting 24 hours for that to come around is not a good use of my time. And if I’m in my day-to-day activity, you need help in the software, the digital adoption platform enables the users to be able to get that help right at the moment and then be able to immediately do whatever tasks that they were trying to do in the first place. So it’s a great scalable way for companies to adopt software without a lot of change management and support.

And in the support realm, a lot of times it was early on called performance support. If you think about it from that standpoint, it takes a lot of the, level one Help Desk tasks away, if you do this correctly, if you find that there’s a lot of errors, or a lot of people stopping at a certain point in the transaction, because they don’t know what to do, you can have a little pop up there, you can have window that will just say “hey, use this code or something here” or “don’t use this” you can do some things there, that would help save a lot of hassle on your support team. So it’s performance support is another name for digital adoption. And I think I like that name a lot because it talks about the support aspect of it.

Greg George

And in a layman’s terms kind of scenario, it’s like GPS, you want to go to a destination you never been to you don’t need to know how to fix your car. You don’t need to know how to operate the GPS system. You just need to know how to put the address and get there. That’s what the digital adoption allows you to do is to get where you need to go with as few or as little effort as possible.
