  • Microsoft Digital Contact Center Platform: An Advanced Customer Care solution with Microsoft Dynamics 365
Digital Contact Center

For a business entity, brand reputation is synonymous with customer experience, including the quality of customer care. Consumers expect effortless, consistent, and secure experiences across any point of contact they choose—in fact, their brand perception and customer loyalty depend on it. With the stakes this high, companies need a comprehensive flexible solution to modernize their customer care experience. The Microsoft Digital Contact Center Platform is a new open, extensible, and collaborative contact center solution designed to deliver seamless customer journeys for the better use of Microsoft Dynamics 365.

 

Microsoft Nuance AI – a real force behind Microsoft Digital Contact Center Platform

With the Microsoft Digital Contact Center Platform, contact centers are equipped with modern digital tools to engage customers across voice, video, and other digital engagement channels—powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Power Platform, and the newest member of the Microsoft family, Nuance. The platform brings together a comprehensive yet flexible solution for contact centers, delivering best-in-class AI that powers self-service experiences, live customer engagements, collaborative agent experiences, business process automation, advanced telephony, and fraud prevention capabilities. 

The addition of Nuance brings a new level of conversational AI, security, and automation to the contact center of a business. This gives both customers and agents tools to resolve issues faster and with more personalized service, thus reducing resolution times while improving customer satisfaction. It also enables contact centers to offer targeted incentives to build brand loyalty and upsell opportunities to boost revenue. For a business the complexity and cost of upgrading technology can hold back innovation required to transform customer service from being a cost center to becoming a revenue driver. The open nature of our platform enables companies to build on what they already have (Microsoft Dynamics 365) and easily add any combination of capabilities they need to take their contact center to the next level. It integrates with a variety of contact center infrastructures and customer relationship management (CRM) systems.
