Overview
Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, Microsoft’s customer data platform, breaks down data, technology, and people silos, empowering businesses to own and control their data. Customer Insights lets you unify customer profiles from disparate data sources, enrich them with Microsoft’s unique data assets, and create powerful AI-driven predictions, segments, and measures to better understand customers, personalize experiences, and enable wide-ranging insights.
The past two years have seen an explosive growth in data from digital channels, radical changes in data privacy, and the unprecedented expectation that organizations will work seamlessly as one to deliver real-time personalized experiences. This has turned first-party data into one of the most valuable assets that organizations have today.
To align with these market changes, we have continued to invest in the following feature themes for this release:
- Customer understanding
- Personalized experiences
- Ubiquitous insights
