🏛️ OVERALL REPORTING ESTATE

Start with prebuilt signals, then layer advanced analytics

Start with Admin Center for foundational usage, add Viva for richer behavioral analytics, add Copilot Studio analytics for custom agents, then use Analytics Hub to combine signals, innovate new analytics, and operationalize data extraction to lakehouses.

MATURITY JOURNEY

Left-to-right: from foundational telemetry to differentiated analytics

Use this sequence as your operating model: establish trusted baseline signals first, then progressively increase depth, customization, and business-value storytelling.

Stage 1 · Foundation

Admin Center

Foundational, out-of-the-box reporting on Copilot usage and credit consumption — the trusted baseline every rollout starts from.

  • Usage & adoption in 7-day, 30-day, and 180-day aggregates
  • Credit / consumption signals for Copilot and agents
  • admin.microsoft.com → Reports → Usage → Microsoft 365 Copilot
  • Roles: AI Administrator, Reports Reader, or Global Reader
  • Data latency typically ~72 hours

Stage 2 · Rich analysis

Viva Insights

Adds customization and flexibility with prebuilt templates and dashboards.

  • Copilot Dashboard: auto-enabled for managers/leaders; auto-scopes to their own teams
  • Analyst Workbench: deeper custom analysis — requires Insights Analyst role

Stage 3 · Agent analytics

Studio Analytics

Per-agent usage analytics for custom Copilot Studio agents via the Power Platform admin center.

  • Billed messages and consumption per agent
  • Session transcripts for review and export
  • Sessions, success rate, and active users
  • Roles: Power Platform Administrator

Stage 4 · Differentiation

Analytics Hub

Brings the capabilities of the first three surfaces together and combines them intelligently.

  • Unifies signals across Admin Center, Viva, and Studio
  • Answers enterprise questions not readily answered by the first three
  • Adds net-new analytics and operationalizes data extraction

🚀 STAGE 4 · ANALYTICS HUB

How Analytics Hub extends the capabilities

Analytics Hub sits on top of the prebuilt, in-product surfaces above — it doesn't replace them. It stitches their signals together and answers the questions that fall between the tools.

  • Cross-estate synthesis: unifies signals across Admin Center, Viva Insights, Power Platform admin center, Purview, Entra, and GitHub into one analysis layer.
  • Answers the in-between questions: resolves customer-specific questions (superuser and champion identification, license right-sizing, cross-surface adoption) that no single prebuilt report answers on its own.
  • Data export + Fabric pipelines: provides extraction and Microsoft Fabric pipelines for large-scale data handling, unlimited history, and cross-source joins.
  • Foundations for advanced reporting: creates the foundation for advanced, custom enterprise reporting and ROI narratives ready for leadership.
  • Fast field iteration: rapidly folds real customer learnings back into reusable reports, apps, and data workflows.
