Dynamics 365 Overview

Microsoft business applications are a set of intelligent solutions that supply a comprehensive view of an organization’s business.

 

Microsoft business applications turn single interactions into ongoing engagements, driven and informed by intelligent services. With 360-degree views of customers and operations, businesses can provide the highly tailored modern experiences people expect.

 

Microsoft business applications provide real value and impact to organizations through:

1. Omnichannel applications, turning single interactions into recurring engagements.
2. Intelligent services, providing prescriptive guidance to drive better business outcomes.
3. Integrated cloud platform, unifying people, processes, and data for a 360-degree view of customers and operations.
4. Flexible solutions, enabling businesses to scale and thrive under change.

 

Digital transformation is business transformation

Dynamics 365 business applications allow organizations to digitally transform their organization. They remove the complexity of separate customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource management (ERP) systems by creating modern, modular business applications that work together on a single platform. The applications give organizations the flexibility to adopt technology when they need it to improve business outcomes.

 

Digital transformation is the integration of digital technology into all areas of a business. The goal of digital transformation is to change how organizations operate and deliver value to customers.

 

By taking advantage of Dynamics 365 business applications, organizations can:

 

1. Engage customers and build relationships: Fundamentally reimagine how you engage with customers by creating personalized marketing, sales, and service experiences using data and intelligence to improve every interaction.
2. Optimize operations: Improve service, drive efficiency, and reduce costs with intelligence and prescriptive guidance infused throughout your business processes.
3. Empower employees: Hire, engage, and unleash the best talent to do their best work with data and insights surfaced right where they work.
4. Transform products and services: Use data as a strategic asset to identify new market opportunities, produce innovative products, and create exceptional customer experiences with a comprehensive view of your customers and operations.
