The deal’s announced equity value was about $1.5 billion. SAP’s strategic aim is to combine WalkMe’s in-app guidance and automation with its Joule AI copilot, while keeping WalkMe available for users of non-SAP applications.
Is WalkMe part of SAP now?
Yes. SAP announced the acquisition on June 5, 2024, and completed it on September 12, 2024. The transaction is complete, not a pending proposal. SAP’s announcement and completion notice document the two milestones.
How much did SAP pay for WalkMe?
SAP offered $14 per WalkMe share in cash, valuing the company’s equity at approximately $1.5 billion. SAP described that offer as an approximate 45% premium to WalkMe’s closing share price on June 4, 2024. The premium uses that specific pre-announcement closing price as its reference point; it is not a comparison with a later share price.
SAP’s later integrated report gives a different figure: approximately $1.4 billion (€1.3 billion) in consideration transferred. That accounting measure is not the same as the deal announcement’s equity value, so the two figures should not be treated as competing estimates of one identical measure. SAP Integrated Report 2024.
What does WalkMe do?
WalkMe is a digital adoption platform (DAP). It operates across an organization’s applications, identifies points where users encounter friction, and provides guidance or automation within the workflow. In practical terms, it is intended to help employees complete tasks and use software more effectively rather than replace the underlying business applications.
Why did SAP buy WalkMe?
SAP framed the acquisition as an expansion of its Business Transformation Management portfolio, alongside SAP Signavio and SAP LeanIX. WalkMe addresses the user-adoption side of change: even when an organization selects or redesigns software and processes, employees still need to navigate the tools and carry out the work.
SAP’s stated rationale includes improving user experience and productivity by pairing WalkMe AI with Joule. WalkMeX is described by SAP as an AI capability that can offer context-aware, proactive assistance across workflows. The intended connection is that WalkMe can supply context about what a user is doing, while Joule provides SAP’s copilot experience. This is SAP’s product strategy; the acquisition announcement does not establish a quantified productivity gain.
Will WalkMe still work with non-SAP software?
SAP said WalkMe would continue supporting non-SAP applications. That matters because a large organization’s workflows commonly span multiple software providers: the stated plan is not to confine WalkMe guidance to SAP products.

How WalkMe differs from Signavio and LeanIX
SAP presented the products as complementary parts of transformation work, not as interchangeable tools. WalkMe focuses on helping people adopt and use applications; Signavio and LeanIX sit in SAP’s broader transformation-management portfolio. The acquisition rationale is therefore about connecting software use and adoption with SAP’s existing transformation capabilities, particularly through Joule.
