PROVO, UT and SEATTLE April 13, 2021— Qualtrics (Nasdaq: XM), the world’s No. 1 Experience Management (XM) Platform and creator of the XM category, today introduced DesignXM and Experience Design studio, two new innovations that will equip everyone at a company—from market and UX researchers to marketing and product leaders—to design the new products, services and experiences their customers want now, and next.

“At a time when it’s easier than ever to change providers, every business leader is trying to understand what their customers want and need, and deliver those experiences better and faster than their competitors,” said Brad Anderson, President of Products and Services, Qualtrics. “The companies that thrive take an outside-in approach to designing new products and services—they’re constantly in touch with how their customers think and feel, and they act on those insights to deliver what they want now and in the future.”

Uber: Thriving During COVID by Listening and Acting on The Needs of their Customers 

Uber Eats, Uber’s delivery business, saw tremendous growth during the pandemic by designing new experiences for their customers. As the pandemic unfolded, Uber Eats leveraged Qualtrics to understand how consumers’, merchants’, and delivery people’s needs were changing. Leveraging that feedback, they quickly identified what their customers needed and quickly designed new services to meet those needs. Uber Eats scaled their restaurant delivery business, while also launching new delivery services that they discovered their customers wanted, including prescription and grocery – all within a new contactless pickup system. 

XM/OS—The Experience Management Operating System

The new Experience Design solutions and DesignXM are built on the Qualtrics XM/OS, the only operating system for experience management. XM/OS is a single, secure cloud-native platform that enables companies to bring together all of their experience data—what their customers and employees are telling them about their company and brand—analyze it, and easily take action. With XM/OS, companies can use data to design experiences that attract new customers and employees and continuously improve those experiences consistently to drive loyalty and retention.
