On June 4, 2024, we introduced the latest milestone in our journey towards modernizing customer engagement: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center, a Microsoft Copilot-first contact center solution that delivers generative AI to every customer engagement channel. This standalone Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) solution enables customers to maximize their current investments by connecting to preferred customer relationship management systems (CRMs) or custom apps.
Today, we are excited to announce that Dynamics 365 Contact Center is generally available, offering a complete but fully-composable solution for contact centers. Organizations will benefit from new native capabilities such as generative AI, technology from Nuance, and much more all built from the ground-up to power mission-critical service operations with extensive scale and reliability on the hyperscale cloud platform of Azure.
Key benefits of Dynamics 365 Contact Center
Dynamics 365 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 interactive voice response (IVR) experience in real time through natural, human-like interactions.
Accelerated human-assisted service
