Visier People® Extend

Introduction

Visier People^® Extend (VPX) helps customers uncover new workforce insights into the factors driving—or hindering—their business outcomes. By bringing in additional people or work data (such as service tickets, deals, or financial data) into their Visier People^® application, customers can generate new analyses beyond Visier’s out-of-the-box content.

With VPX, analysts and administrators can ingest, model, and blend people and work data for new metrics and insights, all while inheriting robust security and governance automatically.

What value is delivered?

• Reveal Key Business Drivers: Connect people data with work data (like operational, financial, or sales data) to answer business critical questions like “How does employee engagement impact service resolution times?” or “What traits make up the best sales people that contribute to a higher win rate?” By blending these datasets in one platform, VPX uncovers hidden correlations and drivers that siloed analyses miss, so leaders can make more informed, strategic decisions.

• Accelerate Time-to-Value: Go from hypothesis to insights in weeks by extending Visier’s pre-built data model and leveraging foundational use case content (via Visier Extensions), rather than starting from scratch. This rapid deployment lets teams quickly iterate on analyses and demonstrate ROI early, building momentum and stakeholder confidence.

• Reduce Data Risk: Keep sensitive people data secure in Visier and bring in additional data for analysis, rather than exporting people data to finance, sales, or IT. This approach prevents data sprawl, reduces integration overhead, enforces consistent definitions across teams, and delivers trusted, secure insights faster.

• Minimize IT Burden: Empower people analysts and business users to integrate and model data without heavy reliance on IT. Leverage low-code tools and pre-built connectors for faster analytic projects. IT teams can refocus on higher-value strategic priorities instead of  data integration tasks, while analysts and admins drive insights independently.

• Ensure Cost Predictability: By leveraging VPX for custom analytics you can lock in fixed costs, no matter how large your data volume. Avoid hidden fees and scope creep of lengthy in-house builds by extending your existing Visier investment. Using Visier allows you to forecast budgets accurately, avoid cost overruns, and demonstrate ROI on schedule, keeping finance and stakeholders aligned from day one.

• Enterprise-Grade Security & Governance: Any new data source you bring into Visier automatically inherits our role-based permissioning and field-level access security, minimizing compliance risk and ensuring consistent governance. VPX’s governance framework also provides full audit trails and policy enforcement out of the box, simplifying regulatory reporting and data stewardship.

What do I get with Visier People^® Extend?

Advanced Model Developer & Data Engineer profiles: With these Studio roles you can create entirely new analytic objects (subjects, events, overlays), define custom attributes and metrics, and orchestrate ETL pipelines, all without writing SQL or building external data lakes. Once your data model is ready, you can load, transform, and publish new data versions that immediately become available alongside Visier’s out-of-the-box content.

Self-paced training & comprehensive documentation: You’ll have access to Visier University’s eLearning modules, which walk you through how to get started with VPX, data modeling in Studio, and deployment workflows. In addition, our online documentation and community forums provide step-by-step tutorials, API references, and answers to common questions.

Visier Extensions: These foundational, best-practice content accelerates the journey from data ingestion to analysis, enabling customers to get started quickly with VPX for common use cases. Extension content ranges from simple to comprehensive, and commonly includes:

• Data connector for source systems to simplify ingestion and initial mappings

• Ready-to adapt content that includes analytic objects, dimensions, metrics, and sample dashboards to accelerate analysis

What do I need in order to use Visier People^® Extend?

• A Visier People^® Essentials subscription: VPX is available as an add-on to your existing Visier People^® Essentials license.

• Source data files or connections: Supply the raw data you want to analyze alongside people data in Visier, this could be additional HR data not already in Visier, or work data such as finance tables, operational logs, or customer-facing metrics.
