Congratulations to Rafi Sweary, one of the founders of WalkMe of Israel and a former MIDC student intern. His company was recently acquired by SAP of Germany for $1.5 billion. WalkMe has developed a user interface known as a digital adoption platform (DAP) that simplifies the use of complex enterprise software, allowing companies to increase productivity and reduce risks. Rafi interned at the MIDC in the early 2000’s while he was getting his MBA at the University of Baltimore.
“I’d like to extend my warm congratulations to Rafi for the success of his company, WalkMe. It was a pleasure having Rafi as an intern at the MIDC. He was a quick study on the needs of startup high tech companies, which proved itself with WalkMe. Mazel Tov, Rafi!”, said Barry Bogage, retired Executive Director, MIDC.
WalkMe’s AI and machine learning platform is layered on top of other software products, mobile apps, or websites to assist its users — employees and customers of businesses – to quickly adapt to new technologies. The platform is fed contextual information to provide tailored guidance and automate tasks in real time based on each user’s needs. It collects data analytics to track user behavior for businesses to better understand how employees use the software.
WalkMe has about 1,000 employees of which 400 are working at its corporate headquarters in Tel Aviv and the remainder at its office in San Francisco. Among its more than 2,000 clients are the US Department of Defense and some 35% of Fortune 500 companies, including IBM, Nestle, LinkedIn, Adobe and PayPal.
