Introduction 

To streamline their operations, increase efficiency, and stay competitive, businesses are increasingly leveraging digital tools and technologies.   

Digital Adoption, as explained in this blog, is key in leveraging the full potential of the digital tools and achieving these goals.  

Digital Adoption Platforms (DAPs) are software solutions designed to help users onboard, adopt and make effective use of digital tools and applications. Their primary goals are to streamline the user onboarding process, enhance user experience, and increase overall proficiency with digital technologies within an organization. 

Among the top-tier DAPs available today as seen in the Digital Adoption Platforms (DAP) PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2023 by Everest Group, SAP Enable Now stands out as a powerful solution designed to facilitate and accelerate user adoption of various software applications and digital tools.
