Microsoft has introduced Dynamics 365 Contact Center, a Copilot-first cloud contact center solution aimed at revolutionizing customer service. This innovative platform integrates generative AI to provide seamless customer engagement across multiple channels, including voice, SMS, chat, email, and social media. It offers advanced features like context-aware, personalized conversations, real-time sentiment analysis, and intelligent routing to ensure customers receive timely and accurate assistance. The solution also supports effortless self-service, allowing customers to resolve their issues independently through natural, human-like interactions.
The impact of adopting a digital contact center is profound for businesses. For instance, companies can experience a 31% increase in first call resolution and a 20% reduction in missed routes, leading to enhanced customer satisfaction and loyalty². Additionally, the platform's real-time reporting capabilities enable service leaders to optimize operations and reduce costs, further driving efficiency and effectiveness in customer service delivery.
***Editor's note: - To clarify Sree's point about Copilot Studio, Copilot Studio entitlements are included in D365 Contact Center, but not D365 Customer Service. If you purchase licenses for D365 Customer Service it does NOT come with Copilot Studio entitlements. That would require an additional purchase of Copilot Studio licenses.

According to an article release by Zippia earlier this year, 94% of enterprises use cloud services. The concept of cloud services is pervasive not only in our professional world, but also in our personal world, from the things we do on our phone to streaming media. The cloud is everywhere.
Dynamics 365 is also a piece of cloud technology that enterprises of various sizes and across multiple industries are using today. Despite how common cloud technology is today, one common mistake or misstep companies make with Dynamics 365 is not being intentional with understanding its architecture.
Today, our guest, Brenda De La Torre, sheds insight into important facets of the Dynamics 365 architecture, how companies should think about their current cloud architecture when implementing D365 and some pro tips on implementing Dynamics 365.
Brenda has worked as a D365 + Power Platform Architect for close to a decade and since transitioned into a Partner Technology Strategist role at Microsoft serving as the CTO for Global Partners driving their technical roadmap and helping build transactable solutions.
