Raleigh will be the firm’s global center of excellence for its recently WalkMe Apps. The firm describes the apps as “a new and free way for app developers to create better mobile software, faster. WalkMe Apps is a brand new solution solving some of the toughest challenges that independent mobile app developers face. It enables app developers and startup entrepreneurs to focus their attention on the development of core software while providing them with the necessary user and customer engagement tools – ‘applets’ – to drive premium upgrades, monetization, boost user experience, reduce uninstalls and improve app ratings.”
The startup raised $25 million in venture capital last year. The expansion to Raleigh comes as part of the firm’s plan to open several offices.
“We have big plans for 2016 and beyond, and we have plenty of positions open for smart people who share our passion,” said CEO Dan Adika in a statement.
“We chose to establish our regional headquarters in Raleigh because we identified Wake County as a leading tech hub in the southeast, with a high number of skilled people who can join WalkMe,” he added.
The decision to locate in Raleigh came after months of talks with various groups, WalkMe said in the announcement.
The company already has offices in San Francisco, New York, Australia and Israel.
WalkMe designs apps that it says improves customer experience for clients.
More than 700 companies use WalkMe, including AT&T, Cisco and Citrix.
