Digital adoption platform

A digital adoption platform (DAP) is software that layers on top of your other applications to guide users with in-app walkthroughs, tooltips, self-service help and analytics. Its job is to make every tool easier to use, so people adopt it correctly instead of working around it.

A DAP runs as an overlay, with no change to the underlying software, and works across SaaS, in-house and legacy applications at once. It is easy to confuse with interactive walkthrough software, which is really one building block of a DAP: the platform wraps those walkthroughs with tooltips, a resource center, user segmentation and analytics to drive software adoption across the whole application stack.
