About the benefits of {% data variables.product.prodname_server_statistics %}

{% data variables.product.prodname_server_statistics %} can help you anticipate the needs of your organization, understand how your team works, and show the value you get from {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}.

Once enabled, {% data variables.product.prodname_server_statistics %} collects aggregate data on how much certain features are used on your instance over time.

For more information, see "Enabling {% data variables.product.prodname_server_statistics %} for your enterprise."

When you enable {% data variables.product.prodname_server_statistics %}, you're helping to build a better {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. The aggregated data you'll provide gives us insights into how {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} adds value to our customers. This information allows {% data variables.product.company_short %} to make better and more informed product decisions, ultimately benefiting you.
