Say hello to the new ones: Microsoft Dynamics 365 AI for Customer Service, Sales, and Market Insights

Microsoft knows that business applications using artificial intelligence (AI) are a sector poised for multi-year growth. Because no one wants to miss an opportunity, the tech-giant from Redmond has carried out market research, with a company representative recently stating that AI early adopter customers now reach approximately sixty countries. And they have gained experience working with companies like Hewlett Packard and the US-department store chain Macy's to hone their product roadmap. Among the results of these efforts, Microsoft's findings have given us three AI-empowered applications to monitor key areas of modern businesses.

Dynamics 365 AI for Customer Service Insights

The first of the three is an AI powered application for companies who have a customer service team. Typical scenarios could be the customer care service of an online retailer (returns, complains etc.), technical support of a broadband provider, or another type of call center. The idea is to give management a set of KPIs to analyse the quality of their current operating service. For this, the Customer Service Insights solution connects to a Dynamics 365 Customer Service installation and presents the summarized data in a dashboard-like overview. Microsoft plans to provide a native connector to Salesforce and plans to open a web service to use other data sources.
