In early October, 2015, we partnered with six of our customers to run an intercept study on their sites, also commonly referred to as a Voice of the Customer study. Our goals in conducting this research were to understand who's using open data, for what purposes, are they successful, and how can we improve their experiences. This report summarizes the insights from the study with 372 participants.
