​Modernizing Survey Management & Analytics — Migrating to Qualtrics and Integrating Power BI for Real-Time Insights
Client Overview
A global research and consulting firm relied on SurveyMonkey to manage customer and employee feedback surveys across multiple departments.
While functional, the platform posed challenges in scalability, advanced analytics, and automated reporting, limiting their ability to make timely, data-driven decisions.
The Challenge
The client faced growing inefficiencies as the number of surveys increased:
-
Limited analytics — SurveyMonkey’s native reports lacked advanced visualization and cross-survey comparison.
-
Manual exports — Teams had to frequently download and merge CSV files for analysis.
-
Data fragmentation — Insights were siloed across teams, slowing response time.
-
Scalability issues — As the survey base expanded, managing large-scale data became cumbersome.
The organization wanted a robust, enterprise-grade survey platform integrated with Power BI for automated, real-time analytics.
Our Approach
Insightogram led a complete Survey Management Modernization Initiative, migrating the client’s ecosystem from SurveyMonkey to Qualtrics and establishing a seamless Qualtrics–Power BI integration pipeline.
