Qualtrics and IBM Japan have announced a new strategic alliance to help customers in the Japanese market access and expand the full value of Qualtrics XM Platform.

The Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) region still proves to be an emerging experience economy where consumers choose a superior experience over a superior product. As part of its growth strategies and ongoing investments in expanding operations, Qualtrics has opened offices in Singapore and Tokyo in 2017 to address the increasing demand for XM solutions in the region. 

Qualtrics’ recent partnership agreement with multinational technology company IBM Japan is yet another proof of the company’s commitment to driving the digital transformation of businesses across the APJ region. The latest collaboration will empower IBM Japan with the right tools to provide a ‘one-stop support’ for companies when implementing industry-leading solutions from Qualtrics Experience Management (XM) Platform.

With a focus on achieving the goal of accelerating the XM footprint in the Japanese market, IBM Japan will be extending advisory services, delivery, and support for XM solutions to customers in the country.

In a statement, Satoru Kumashiro, Managing Director at Qualtrics Japan, said that Qualtrics has been instrumental in designing and enhancing the experiences delivered to customers and employees for businesses worldwide. Commenting on the new partnership, Kumashiro said the company continues to rapidly scale its operations in Japan. He added:

“Qualtrics’ strategic partnership with IBM ensures businesses across the country can benefit today from the industry-leading Experience Management Platform.”

Meanwhile, Brigid Archibald, Managing Director at Qualtrics APJ, also expressed her delight at the new alliance. The regional MD, who was appointed in May 2020 to direct the growth strategies of Qualtrics XM operations in APJ, remarked:

“An exciting chapter for Qualtrics, IBM, and most importantly, for the customers we serve.”

Expanding the Reach of Qualtrics XM Platform in Japan

In November 2019, IBM joined the Qualtrics Partner Network — a network of expert practitioners with deep industry knowledge, experience, and insights — and has since established a dedicated Qualtrics department to support XM implementations. All members of that group were also certified as Qualtrics consultants in February 2020.

Furthermore, that dedicated team of experts has won orders for large-scale employee experience projects and received the highest satisfaction rate in IBM Japan after the implementation. The group has also successfully delivered professional implementations of Qualtrics EmployeeXM, built on the Qualtrics XM Platform, to Japanese customers.

As the first Japanese company to acquire Qualtrics reseller certification, IBM Japan will help accelerate time to value for joint customers. The tech giant will also have significant involvement in expanding the reach of XM capabilities as an implementation partner for Qualtrics in the region.

“IBM Japan’s appointment as reseller for Qualtrics in Japan is testament to the proven abilities of Qualtrics, which is already being successfully used by leading Japanese companies,” Kumashiro said.

By combining Qualtrics XM software and IBM Japan’s services and solutions, the strategic alliance will help clients in achieving greater results in their XM implementations. Joint account planning will also be conducted with sales representatives from both companies. Additionally, the collaboration will see XM training held within IBM Japan.

Moreover, Qualtrics customers will join Think 2021 — a digital event hosted by IBM Japan — along with other experts in the industry to learn more about how to navigate change through transformation, automation, and modernisation.

Data-Driven Decision Making

Snowflake Computing, the only data warehouse built for the cloud, today announced a new partnership with the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Formula One team to support the team’s winning ambitions and drive data-based decision making in the 2019 F1™ racing season. Aston Martin Red Bull Racing will use Snowflake’s cloud-built data warehouse to gain a more holistic view of its business. The partnership will enable Snowflake to tap into exciting marketing opportunities with the Team.

Partnerships are key to helping Aston Martin Red Bull Racing reach new benchmarks in performance. By tapping into Snowflake’s built-for-the-cloud data warehouse, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing will be able to obtain data in real time to enable more effective business strategies.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Aston Martin Red Bull Racing,” Snowflake CMO, Denise Persson said. “Formula One racing thrives on pushing the boundaries of performance, which is the same ethos Snowflake operates on with our technology. By providing instant and infinitely scalable access to data when organisations like Aston Martin Red Bull Racing most need it, our customers can put data in the driver’s seat to make quick business decisions and ultimately drive their competitive edge both on and off the track.”
