We designed the Case Study Template to be easy to use and to encourage consistency. Use the template and elements, and follow these guidelines because they help readers find the information they need, fast. A single, consistent format lets your customers, prospects, influencers and recommenders find the same kind of information, in the same place, each time they read your case study.

Case Study
Both technical influencers and decision makers are the primary audience for case studies. Case studies showcase the particular advantages of using your solutions and products in a particular configuration, or solving IT and business challenges. Case studies focus on your solutions implemented by a customer in a particular industry, a partner, or even the organization itself. A case study includes more technical detail than a business-level customer success story.
The template works like any other but also outlines a Case Study format. To make the template into a first-draft case study, change the headline that says “Title” to the headline you want. Fill in the rest of the sections, substituting your copy for the instructions in each section.
