Introduction
Getting started with analytics can be overwhelming. New tools, unfamiliar interfaces, and too many features can leave you unsure where to begin. Unlike platforms that overload you from the start, Bold BI® simplifies the experience with clear, guided onboarding designed to boost your confidence from day one.
Let’s take a look at how Bold BI helps you get set up quickly with all the support you need. But first, you should understand what customer onboarding means in the context of analytics platforms.
What is customer onboarding?
Customer onboarding is the process of introducing new users to a platform and guiding them to become confident users all the way from their first interaction. In analytics, onboarding focuses on helping you generate insights independently, without getting overwhelmed.
When done well, onboarding sets the stage for long-term success. But in many cases, new users face common roadblocks that slow progress or cause frustration. Before diving into how Bold BI makes analytics onboarding easier for new users, let’s first take a look at the common challenges users face when getting started with a new analytics platform.
Common challenges when starting with analytics
Users often struggle with analytics due to:
- Lack of immediate support when you need guidance most.
- Feature overload, where too many options at once leads to confusion.
- Complicated setup steps, which make it difficult for you to get started quickly and confidently.
These initial obstacles don’t just delay progress. They can prevent you from ever reaching your first meaningful insight. Bold BI addresses these challenges head-on with a simplified, user-focused onboarding experience.
