SAP WalkMe

Improve adoption of your SAP applications with WalkMe: contextual guidance, automation, usage insights, and support from Arago.

SAP WalkMe: an integrated guide to improving adoption of your SAP applications

WalkMe accompagne les utilisateurs directement dans leurs applications SAP en leur proposant, au bon moment, des guidages contextuels, des messages d’aide, des alertes ou des automatismes pour mieux exécuter leurs tâches.

La solution peut accompagner différents outils SAP, comme SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Concur, SAP S/4HANA ou SAP Ariba, selon le périmètre retenu.

Nous prendrons principalement l’exemple de SAP SuccessFactors, car les enjeux d’adoption y sont fréquents : processus RH parfois complexes, usages variables selon les rôles, erreurs de saisie, sollicitations support ou besoin d’accompagnement dans les workflows.

Avec Arago, WalkMe s’intègre dans une démarche concrète : identifier les parcours utilisateurs à améliorer, concevoir les aides adaptées, sécuriser les usages et suivre l’adoption dans la durée.

Support users throughout their SAP processes.

Deploying a SAP application does not always guarantee consistent adoption. Even with a well-configured solution, users may encounter friction in their day-to-day activities.

This can result in:

  • Data entry errors;
  • Process abandonment before completion;
  • Recurring support tickets;
  • Time lost on routine tasks;
  • Different adoption levels across countries, roles, or user groups;
  • Training that is quickly forgotten after delivery.

WalkMe addresses these challenges by providing assistance directly within the interface, at the exact moment users perform their tasks.

  • Réduire les erreurs dans les processus ;
  • Adapter les parcours selon les rôles ;
  • Suivre les usages pour identifier les points de friction.

SAP présente WalkMe for SAP SuccessFactors HCM comme une solution combinant guidage in-app, automatisation, analytics et support contextuel pour optimiser les workflows RH. 

Use case : WalkMe in SAP SuccessFactors

Within SAP SuccessFactors, WalkMe can support employees, managers, HR teams, and administrators throughout their daily processes.

Contextual Guidance

WalkMe helps users understand what to do, where to click, what information to enter, and in what order. The goal is to make processes easier to complete, especially for sensitive or infrequent HR journeys.

Automation and Assistance

Beyond guidance, WalkMe can support repetitive or critical actions through reminders, alerts, data entry assistance, validations, and automation capabilities, depending on the activated features and chosen configuration.

Usage Insights

WalkMe also provides visibility into user behavior, helping organizations understand where users encounter difficulties, which steps generate errors, and which journeys could be optimized. SAP highlights analytics capabilities that help identify friction points and improve workflows.

WalkMe editions: Embedded, Premium, and Platform

Embedded: Standard Assistance

The Embedded edition provides standard content managed by SAP SuccessFactors. According to the SAP Help Portal, SAP SuccessFactors includes certain WalkMe content that customers can use without a WalkMe license; however, this content is created and managed by SAP SuccessFactors and cannot be customized.

Premium: Customized Journeys

The Premium edition enables organizations to create WalkMe content tailored to their processes, roles, countries, or user populations. To display customer-managed WalkMe content, the SAP Help Portal specifies that a WalkMe license and appropriate configuration are required.

Platform: Extending Across Multiple Applications

The Platform edition allows organizations to extend WalkMe beyond SAP SuccessFactors to other SAP and non-SAP applications. WalkMe highlights use cases across SAP SuccessFactors, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Concur, and SAP Ariba.
