DataChant Consulting was founded as a Power BI blog (DataChant.com) in early 2016 by Gil Raviv, and we have gradually evolved into a consulting boutique and a Microsoft cloud partner.
In July 2024, we have launched a new product BI Pixie on Azure Marketplace and Microsoft AppSource. A groundbreaking solution built to optimize Power BI adoption and trust. It delivers deep insights into user behavior, performance issues, and security risks—empowering teams to boost engagement, prevent data leakage, and maximize BI impact and ROI.
With BI Pixie’s insight into your BI audience, and what reports don’t work for you, we offer add-on services to help you improve the reports and increase user engagement. In cases you need more help, we can help you select the right partners and provide them guidance and oversight.
Before the launch of BI Pixie, we have published 10 popular Power BI Apps on Microsoft AppSource with 1.5K monthly active installers. The apps include data quality automation tools and marketing analytics for users of Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign. You can find them here and try them out.
DataChant offers a wide range of consulting services to help your team and accelerate value on the Data & AI journey of your organization.
