4 ways your product can accelerate your business

Get the guide ->

Imagine a world where the product you sell also saves you millions of dollars in operational costs each year. Where it onboards hundreds of thousands of users on its own in a matter of minutes—without the need for training manuals or manual training. And where it relinquishes your talented people from the tasks they get stuck doing, so they can focus on the work they love doing.

This world isn’t too good to be true—it’s the reality of investing in your product experience.

When the pandemic forced most of our lives online and behind screens, businesses were left with a choice: either meet their customers digitally, or lose those customers entirely. We quickly saw that the companies that invested in their digital offerings were better able to adapt—and in some cases, thrive—in this new reality.

Product experience is more important than ever.

We ran a study to understand the impact and outcomes organizations are seeing by investing in their product experience. As a result, we’ve identified four areas in which your product can accelerate your business and drive positive outcomes. We surveyed over 400 Pendo customers—primarily product managers working in enterprise (>1,500 employees) organizations.
