DataChant Consulting is a Microsoft Cloud Partner that develops innovative analytics solutions on Azure. Our flagship product is BI Pixie that provides unprecedented insight into your BI audience. BI Pixie is a cutting-edge solution designed to track usage and engagement across Power BI reports for organizations in the public sector. With BI Pixie, you gain vital insights into how your audience interacts with mission-critical reports, helping you understand user adoption, assess user satisfaction, address attrition, and analyze time-based engagement metrics.

BI Pixie offers significant benefits to the public sector, particularly by addressing the unique challenges of government organizations that are tasked with managing large-scale BI (Business Intelligence) reporting using Microsoft Power BI. Ensuring compliance, transparency, accountability, and data-driven decision-making are all key to such organizations.

Auditing and Accountability: In the public sector, audits and compliance checks are frequent. For organizations using Microsoft Power BI, the auditing and security controls end at the access level. While you can define who can access your dashboards and what rows they will be able to access in the data, it is not possible to audit end-user interactions in the dashboards. BI Pixie solves the gap and allows you to test your row-level security (RLS) and audit anomalous user interactions. With BI Pixie you can find what values were filtered in the dashboard by suspicious users and detect data breaches at the dashboard level.

Data Security and Compliance: For the public sector, data security is a top priority, especially when dealing with sensitive information. BI Pixie is deployed within the agency’s own Microsoft cloud environment or on-prem - Ensuring that all user interaction data stays within the organization’s secure infrastructure.

Enhanced User Engagement and Adoption Insights: Public sector agencies often invest heavily in Microsoft Power BI tools to make informed policy decisions. However, ensuring that these tools are fully adopted and utilized is challenging. BI Pixie provides detailed insights into user engagement and user satisfaction. This allows public sector entities to identify which reports are most effective and which require improvements, driving higher user adoption across teams​​.

Improved ROI Justification: Governments are under constant scrutiny to justify their investments, particularly in IT and data infrastructure. BI Pixie helps quantify the return on investment (ROI) of Power BI initiatives, by providing metrics such as user satisfaction, daily/weekly/monthly active users (DAU/WAU/MAU), average session durations, and detailed interaction data. In large multi-year migration projects, BI Pixie provides public sector leaders the data needed to demonstrate the value and impact of their BI investment, ensuring the readiness and success of their multi-year migration programs.

Streamlined Report Maintenance and Improvement: Government agencies often manage numerous reports that require constant updates. BI Pixie helps prioritize report maintenance by identifying which reports have low engagement and need improvement. This data-driven approach ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and effectively, reducing the time and cost associated with unnecessary report updates​.

By empowering public sector organizations with detailed user engagement insights, ROI tracking, security compliance, and enhanced auditing, BI Pixie helps ensure that their BI investments deliver maximum value and meet the rigorous demands of government operations.
