An extremely complex digital environment
Airbus operates over 130 HR platforms spread across 46 countries and 200 legal entities, with highly diverse user profiles (blue-collar, white-collar, managers).
Employees use on average 7 to 9 applications per day, mostly SaaS-based and regularly updated.
Despite existing measures (training, documentation, coaching, helpdesk, chatbot), adoption barriers persisted.
Why a Digital Adoption Platform?
The DAP acts as a support layer integrated directly into business applications :
- Interactive step-by-step guides
- Embedded videos
- Contextual tooltips
- Smart alerts
- Real-time feedback collection (NPS, comments)
The objective: to support the user exactly when they need it.
Key results after 4 years
The gradual rollout of the K-NOW solution has enabled:
- Decrease from ~11,000 support calls/month to ~3,500
- Approximately 70% reduction in support tickets
- 50,000 new employees supported
- Sustained high monthly usage
DAP has become a trusted tool, used even by experienced employees as a checklist and safety net.
The future: AI and personalization
Airbus is going further by integrating:
- AI chatbots
- Personalized recommendations based on user behavior
- Smart consolidation of scattered training content
The ambition: to create a single, intelligent entry point for digital support.
