WalkMe Announces Acquisition of AI Enterprise Search Company Zest in Quest to Eliminate Digital Friction

Sharpens strategic focus on NLP and machine learning to increase ROI for enterprise technologies

WalkMe, the digital adoption leader, announced the completion of the acquisition of Zest (Snow White Labs Ltd.). Zest, known as “The Information Enablement Tool”, provides a fast and efficient mechanism for retrieving any document, file, contact or record from the cloud. Zest’s AI-driven search leverages NLP (Natural Language Processing) to create an on-demand, graph database. This increases the predictability of user search for faster, more relevant results.

With this view, Zest’s advanced enterprise search is a powerful method of information sharing that reduces information overload and breaks down workplace silos in the enterprise. As a critical building block for making search more efficient, Zest is expected to integrate into WalkMe’s desktop product, Workstation.

“Zest is a natural extension of WalkMe’s core business use case: to make technology adapt to people, not the other way around,” said Dan Adika, CEO & Co-Founder of WalkMe. “Zest’s proprietary technology will bring new levels of functionality and efficiency to the WalkMe product suite, making it easier for customers to achieve their digital transformation goals.”
