As a rapidly expanding leader in open-source document management systems, Alfresco was moving so fast that understanding their diverse customer & partner needs was falling behind

For Tony and Mo the challenge was clear ↓
without robust customer insights, how could Alfresco continue to build products that genuinely empowered enterprises to manage their content effectively, while ensuring GDPR compliance & robust information governance?
Their user base was vast & varied: HR managers, call center staff, decision-makers, & IT professionals across industries like insurance & manufacturing. The team faced a pressing need to prioritise the different requirements of these user profiles & align their product roadmap to meet those needs.
To stay competitive & provide real value, Alfresco needed a deeper connection to their customers' true needs.
Enter littlevoice: A strategic partnership
Tony and Mo turned to us at littlevoice, as a team of experts in product development and customer research, to address this crucial gap.
