Event details

What: Microsoft Customer Success Day

Specialized sessions across four tracks, each designed to deliver skills and best practices that can be applied right away.

  • Implementation: The foundation to driving business outcomes is a well-architected, well-built solution. Sessions on this track will include tips and tricks for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales programs, building apps fast through Microsoft Power Apps, while maintaining control of your environment, and developing a compelling business value story.
