New CX program key initiative in StarHub’s goal to achieve $500 million in growth and cost savings by 2026

SINGAPORE, April 17, 2024 – Qualtrics, the leader and creator of the experience management (XM) category, today announced StarHub, a leading provider of telecommunications, entertainment, and digital services in Singapore, has selected Qualtrics® to increase market share and accelerate growth by helping the company to decisively identify and bring to market new and optimised products, services, and experiences aligned to the evolving and diverse digital needs and behaviours of consumers in Singapore. 

The multi-year agreement is a key initiative in StarHub’s strategic transformation programme (DARE+), which targets a combined $500 million in cost savings and revenue growth by FY2026 through an expanded digital product and entertainment offering, and a superior, simplified experience across all customer engagements.
