Qualtrics Takes a Considered Step Toward Full-Spectrum Experience Management

This IDC study discusses how Qualtrics' $6.75 billion acquisition of Press Ganey Forsta marks a major consolidation in the voice of the customer (VOC) market, expanding Qualtrics' reach into healthcare with proprietary data sets and compliance infrastructure. The combined platform aims to deliver advanced, AI-driven experience management across regulated industries, leveraging unique healthcare data.
