Supercharging Experience-Driven Intelligence
In today's data-driven era, organisations increasingly rely on both experience / feedback data (X-Data) and operational metrics (O-Data) to make smarter decisions. But capturing them separately isn't enough. The real magic happens when you merge them into one unified view. That's where XO Accelerator meets Power BI, delivering powerful, actionable insights from day one.
Why this integration matters:
- Break data silos. Too often, experience data (e.g. survey responses, Net Promoter Scores (NPS), customer feedback) is stored separately from operational systems (sales, supply chain, finance). XO Accelerator bridges that gap, bringing X-Data and O-Data together in a governed, structured way.
- Leverage the Microsoft ecosystem. Organisations already using Power BI, Excel, Teams or SharePoint can now view unified dashboards that combine experience and operations. All within familiar tools.
- Speed to insight. Rather than spending weeks building dashboards or doing manual data wrangling, this integration offers pre-configured reports and dashboards tailored to common experience management use cases: e.g. customer satisfaction, employee engagement, NPS, etc.
- Flexible & extensible. Because it's built on Microsoft's BI stack, users can adapt extend and embed these dashboards in Teams, SharePoint, or in their own apps.
- Always fresh & governed. With a Central Semantic Model, scheduled refreshes and alignment to a unified data model, decision-makers always see reliable, up-to-date insights with a single source of truth.

- Advanced analytics potential – Built-in AI features in Power BI enable teams to move beyond reporting, surfacing trends and highlighting opportunities before issues escalate.
The Power of a Central Semantic Model in Power BI
Many organisations struggle with fragmented data — customer feedback, employee and partner experience metrics — all in separate silos. XO Accelerator solves this by using a Central Semantic Model (CSM) in Power BI, creating a single, governed and certified source of truth.
Key benefits include:
- Unified metrics – One consistent definition across all data sources, eliminating confusion.
- Faster insights – Dashboards and reports draw from the same model, reducing time to analysis.
- Self-service with confidence – Users explore data safely, knowing metrics are accurate and governed.
- Cross-team alignment – Different departments share a common data language while tailoring visuals to their needs.
- Scalable and future-ready – Easily incorporate new data sources while maintaining the governance.
With the Central Semantic Model, organisations can connect experience and operational insights in a single view, enabling smarter, faster and more confident decision-making.
Turning Qualtrics Data into Instant Insights with XO Accelerator
For many organisations, managing Qualtrics survey data can be a challenge. Download limits, fragmented datasets and slow exports often meant analysts had to wait for hours—or even days—before they could explore the data. XO Accelerator changes the game.
With XO Accelerator, there are no data limitations. Organisations can access all their Qualtrics survey responses, no matter the size, and explore them on the fly. Multiple surveys can be compared effortlessly, enabling teams to spot trends, correlations, or patterns that were previously difficult to uncover.
The benefits are immediate:
- No more waiting for dataset exports — data is ready whenever you need it.
- Easily compare surveys across time periods, teams, or customer segments.
- Eliminate data bottlenecks — analysts and decision-makers can dive straight into actionable insights.
- Data-driven decisions faster — since survey responses are instantly accessible, organisations can act quickly and confidently.
XO Accelerator transform Qualtrics from a static survey tool into a dynamic, always-on intelligence engine, making insights faster, easier and more reliable than ever before.
From Data Silos to Insight Powerhouse!
The integration of XO Accelerator with Power BI creates a game-changing synergy for organisations looking to turn data into actionable insight. XO Accelerator brings governance, data unification and a central semantic model, ensuring that experience data (X‑Data) and operational data (O‑Data) are aligned, consistent and reliable. Power BI complements this with powerful visualisation, collaborative dashboards and scalable analytics, making it easy for teams across the business to access, explore and act on insights.
The result is more than just reporting. It's a shift from fragmented, siloed dashboards to experience-informed operations. Teams can instantly connect customer feedback, employee sentiment, and operational performance, uncovering trends and correlations that were previously invisible. Decisions are faster, data-driven, and trusted, empowering everyone from frontline managers to executives to act with confidence.
