Provision of Dovetail Software Subscription Renewal

Description

The current research recording tools or platforms available to the user researcher team for research, for example, MS Teams & User Testing.com are inadequate. The user research team's approach to recording interviews has been ad-hoc and at best suboptimal. It is difficult to accurately record research interviews, undertake detailed analyses and share the findings. In addition, due to the non-standardised tool used by the user research team to record and transcribe user research interview sessions, it is difficult to report and share research findings in a way that is consistent and effective. This tool will improve the UCD team's ability to share research findings with stakeholders and colleagues.
To address these challenges and reduce the time required to accurately transcribe research data, and build, and optimise research insights, the research team would benefit from a wide range of tools and research recording capabilities available in the market- amongst which is the Dovetail Software. Following the market review, Dovetail provided the following benefits which other tools by other providers didn't provide.
From a technical perspective, Dovetail provides enhanced capacity in user research analysis, data transcription, and collaboration. Through its transcription tools and content tags, AI summarises ideas. It has also facilitated the process of managing content, making it easier to organise and find. Dovetail streamlines working with qualitative data. It automates transcription, organise, and analyse all our user interviews. Previously, managing interviews and feedback was time-consuming, but now we just upload the video, and Dovetail handles the transcription. Its AI-powered features help us quickly understand key feedback points. Dovetail can connect with third-party providers directly giving us real-time insights and streamlining the process even further. The tool also satisfies all CCS GDPR and security concerns and requirements
