Enabling Gainsight PX to drive user adoption and tracking product telemetry

BMC uses Gainsight PX to collect telemetry data such as automatic events, clicks or page navigation, custom events such as opening a dropdown menu or using a specific product feature. The data collection provides insights into product usage, users’ activities within the application, product performance, gaining web statistics, and optimizing the product capabilities.

Gainsight PX also displays the self-help widget that provides access to a product tour, interactive guides, instructions for setting up and going live, and more.
