The Challenge

Qualtrics XM is the backbone of the world’s most successful companies. Our secure, agile, easy-to-use platform is a common framework for entire companies to design and improve customer and employee experiences - and to consistently drive innovation in a world where people demand ever more from products, brands, and experiences. A key part of the XM Platform is the ability to “Listen & Remember” the stakeholders. XM Directory helps our customers to know every stakeholder so you can deliver hyper-personalized experiences. When someone says something about your company you can capture it and store it in the XM Directory. Over time, you’ll build up detailed profiles of your customers, employees, and any other stakeholder to know exactly what they like, need, and how every interaction with your company made them feel.
