Customer 360: 12 Wk+ Customer Data Platform Implementation

Customers crave personalised experiences, seeking engagement on their preferred platforms and channels.

A Customer Data Platform (CDP) offers a straightforward solution by seamlessly connecting to and extracting data from your existing apps, tools, software, and channels like social media and websites. This enables a deep understanding of how customers interact with your enterprise, spanning websites, purchases, stores, product choices, and communications such as enquiries or complaints.

This platform is a game-changer for Marketing, Sales, and Customer Service teams, but also benefits any staff working with data to enhance efficiency. Because you have data in numerous places, whether it is sales data in Salesforce, inventory, ERP information in SAP, AWS, or even Google, that data needs to be brought into a single place where it can be transformed and made useful to the business. Within the CDP we can fully unify this data, to create a deeper, 360-degree understanding of the customer that is informed by all their interactions, transactions, and touchpoints Without the right tools, organisations risk decreased engagement and loyalty.

Embrace an intelligent customer experience solution leveraging AI and collaboration to meet evolving needs efficiently. This is how a Customer Data Platform, like Microsoft Dynamics, with built-in AI capabilities, allows users to access the data in natural language and integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 applications like Teams, Excel, Word, and Outlook.

Not only do we create a unified customer profile, but we build a real-time activity timeline which serves as an illustrative history of all the touchpoints and knowledge for that customer. Once you’ve unified your profiles you can use out-of-box AI and ML models such as customer lifetime value, sentiment analysis, or product recommendations to inform your approach to customer engagement. All this information is written into the Customer Data Platform that supports the Dynamics 365 ecosystem of products and solutions, Azure and Microsoft 365 tools such as Excel, PowerPoint and Teams. Microsoft Dynamics 365 serves as a super conduit, allowing data to be easily surfaced in your applications—for Sales, Service, and Marketing.
