Qualtrics is an American experience management company, with co-headquarters in Seattle, Washington, and Provo, Utah, in the United States. The company was founded in 2002 by Scott M. Smith, Ryan Smith, Jared Smith, and Stuart Orgill.[4]

Qualtrics offers a cloud-based subscription software platform for experience management,[5] which it launched in March 2017.[6]

On November 11, 2018, it was announced that Qualtrics would be acquired by SAP for US$8 billion.[7] The acquisition was completed on January 23, 2019.[8] On July 26, 2020, SAP announced its intent to take Qualtrics public,[9] and on January 28, 2021, Qualtrics began trading on the Nasdaq.[10] In March 2023, an investor group led by the private equity firm Silver Lake agreed to take Qualtrics private. On June 28, 2023, it was announced that Silver Lake and its co-investors, together with CPP Investments, acquired 100% of the outstanding shares in Qualtrics that Silver Lake did not already own, including the entirety of SAP’s majority ownership interest.[11]
