What EY can do for you

In a rapidly evolving landscape, understanding and improving experiences are crucial for success. Organizations must harness the power of data to drive insights and create meaningful connections with employees and customers alike. However, navigating this complexity can be daunting. EY is here to help guide you through this journey. With our extensive industry knowledge in Experience Management (XM), we help you unlock the full potential of your data.

By integrating Qualtrics' innovative platform, we transform insights into actionable strategies that elevate experiences and foster growth. Together, EY and Qualtrics help empower organizations to optimize their experience management capabilities, turning challenges into opportunities and driving sustainable value through improved engagement and informed decision-making.

EY teams offer end-to-end XM capabilities — from strategy and program design to implementation and ongoing advisory. Whether focused on customers, employees or enterprise-wide transformation, the EY-Qualtrics Alliance helps translate organizational goals into measurable XM outcomes.

Build custom solutions for moments of change, growth or risk — such as mergers and acquisitions (M&A), digital transformation or compliance-driven shifts.

  • Cross-BU listening and program design to unify fragmented feedback systems
  • Advanced implementation and architecture, including complex integrations and role-based access

SAP S4 – Embedded XM (EXM)

For a successful transformation, align the core team on definitions and success metrics from the outset, allowing for early course corrections. During the build and test phases, monitoring team wellbeing and incorporating operational data is essential for assessing project health. As the project nears go-live, evaluating user readiness and tracking adoption likelihood becomes vital.

EXM helps enhance transformation by de-risking projects and improving success probabilities through:

  • Tactical readiness: Align on processes and expectations, increasing visibility and improving documentation.
  • Cultural readiness: Capture sentiment and feedback to address experiential risks and improve communication.
  • Reduced manual effort: Streamline coordination and focus on high-value activities, with automated insights and alerts.
  • Improved experiences: Foster a positive transformation journey by monitoring wellbeing and engaging teams effectively.
Our clients choose EY because we don’t just implement Qualtrics — we help them activate experience management as a core business driver. Working with Qualtrics, we help organizations move beyond listening to take purposeful, real-time action that drives impact across people, customer and brand experiences.
