Sales and marketing obtain an extensive overview of marketing activities and customer reactions. This facilitates more personalized and targeted campaigns in future.

Dynamics 365 Customer Voice – the fully integrable survey tool

Microsoft Teams – the collaboration platform

Teams is a collaboration tool for easy real-time collaboration between internal and external employees. Teams is included as standard with Office 365 and enables video conferencing, chats, phone calls as well as joint working on documents. Furthermore, you can access CRM data without having to leave Teams.

Make the right decisions with Microsoft Power BI

Power BI is a powerful solution for generating reports and contains a variety of cloud-based Business Intelligence functions. With the help of the intuitive interface you can merge, analyze and visualize data.

Intelligent workflows with Power Automate and Power Apps

With Power Automate you can create automated workflows. This relieves you from laborious routine tasks, saves time and makes day-to-day work easier for companies.
