The Challenge
The Digital Experience (DX) team at Qualtrics builds and maintains a scalable system with billions of pageviews a week, to bridge the experience gap on every device. We currently provide customers with tools to enable them to make on-the-fly changes, including customized questions and messages, on their company’s websites and mobile apps, so they can listen and engage with a targeted segment of users.

- For the Qualtrics user, we aim to make it easy for them to solicit feedback across multiple platforms and devices, analyze the data for key insights, and take action to close the experience gap.
- For the website or app user, we need to enable them to communicate their needs and provide input to improve everyone’s experience, without intercepting them or distracting them from what they’re currently trying to achieve.
