Summary

On June 4 at the Customer Contact Week event, Microsoft announced the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center, which will become generally available (GA) on July 1, 2024. Dynamics 365 Contact Center is a Copilot-first contact center solution that delivers generative AI to every customer engagement and enables customers to keep their current CRM, whether Dynamics 365, Salesforce, or other custom CRMs. With this launch, Microsoft reaches the latest milestone in the journey toward modernizing customer service with generative AI throughout the contact center workflow—spanning the channels of communication, self-service, intelligent routing, agent-assisted service, and operations to help contact centers solve problems faster, empower agents, and reduce costs.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center  

Dynamics 365 Contact Center is a contact center as a service (CCaaS) offering, enabling customers to bring the best of generative AI and omnichannel support to their contact center. Key capabilities include:

Effortless self-service

Customers have the freedom to engage in their channel of choice across voice, SMS, chat, email, and social media apps.
Sophisticated pre-integrated copilots for digital channels drive context-aware, personalized conversations for rich self-service experiences.
Provide a frictionless conversational IVR experience in real time through natural, human-like interactions. 

Accelerated human-assisted service

Intelligent unified routing steers incoming requests that require a human touch to the agent best suited to help, enhancing service quality and minimizing wasted effort.
Agents gain a 360-degree view of customers and AI tools for real-time sentiment analysis, translation, transcription, and more to help streamline service.
Let Copilot automate repetitive agent tasks such as conversation summary, drafting emails, suggested responses, and knowledge search.

Operational efficiency

Generative AI based real-time reporting allows service leaders to optimize contact center operations across all support channels including their workforce.
Maximize Copilot by connecting it to an organization’s existing data and business applications using more than 1,200 pre-built connectors that eliminate the need for expensive IT integration.
Empower employee helpdesk and human resources functions using Microsoft Teams as a secure, integrated engagement channel.
