SAP Qualtrics
What is Qualtrics?
Qualtrics is a global leader in the experience management space, whereby companies use the software to both measure and improve the customer experience for external clients and internal employees and stakeholders.
Shift to Customer Experience
Founded in 2002, Qualtrics offered a survey product utilized by universities primarily for their research needs. In 2017, the company shifted from separate products to its cloud-based XM platform. In a Harvard Business Review article, Qualtrics Founder Ryan Smith described communicating the company’s move to XM with senior leaders: “On the table was a transition away from multiple products to a single platform, where enterprise clients could manage customer, employee, product, and brand experience in one place. We were going to burn the boat on our previous products and launch the XM category.”
Seeing the rapid movement toward the customer experience category, SAP completed its acquisition of Qualtrics in 2019. The company went public in 2021.
Today, the Qualtrics XM Platform includes:
- Customer XM
- Employee XM
- Brand XM
- Product XM
- Design XM
- Services XM
