“Instead of taking days to analyze the results, you get it almost instantly per session,” said the Head of Research and Insights at a healthcare organization featured in the study. “Now, the production time alone of saving three days or more is significant to speed to market. The sooner you capture value in the market, the sooner you get a return on investment. So that alone I would say speeds [projects] up by at least 30%.”

A Design Research Lead at an IT services company added: “Without Dovetail, we would either need more researchers, or we would just have to accept poor quality. We would probably be talking about an additional five to 10 researchers, which is 30% more. Using Dovetail early in the product lifecycle has enabled us to support more projects, including several with seven-figure outcomes.”

Customers also cited improved collaboration across departments, stronger alignment on customer needs, and greater agility in product development and strategic planning.
