Helping customers compete and accelerate innovation with the cloud, AI and a new approach to Talent
Ever since the mainframe, customers have been dealing with business apps that were little more than forms, over siloed data, tied to monolithic CRM and ERP suites that were hard to customize. We believe we can do better. Today, at our Business Forward event in Chicago, Judson Althoff, James Philips and I are excited to meet with business leaders from a range of industries to share how Microsoft Dynamics 365’s modern, unified, intelligent and adaptive business apps can help them innovate and compete.
Dynamics 365 is already helping more organizations, than ever before – in fact, more than 60 percent of the Fortune 500 industrial companies. Last week, we highlighted how several of these organizations plan to accelerate their own digital transformation, including HP, Inc., who will be using Dynamics 365 AI solutions for intelligent customer care and service, along with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Seattle Seahawks who are using Dynamics 365 to reinvent ways they connect with people and deliver improved experiences.
United Technologies enhances customer experiences with Dynamics 365 intelligence
Today we’re excited to welcome United Technologies Corporation (UTC), to that family of customers, and announce a strategic agreement designed to help UTC leverage Dynamics 365 and Azure to optimize its sales, customer care and field service operations. For example, UTC will use Dynamics 365 to empower service technicians and sales teams in its Otis Elevator business. This will provide them with a unified view of the customer relationship and real-time elevator health data to enable predictive maintenance, dynamic field dispatching and a more seamless customer experience.
UTC manufactures and services millions of products for customers in the commercial aerospace and building industry that move the world forward. We are excited to partner with them to respond more quickly to sales opportunities with automation and intelligence, predict maintenance by operationalizing product data and empower thousands of service technicians in the field with mobile connectivity.
Make modern talent experiences a competitive differentiator
Extending our momentum with customers – and the incredible customer experiences we can deliver together – I’m also excited to share new innovations we are delivering to help our customers transform how they empower their people – arguably their most important resource.
Today’s human capital management systems are subject to the same challenges I see in most business applications – siloed, complicated and difficult to extend to embrace new opportunities. With Dynamics 365 for Talent, we take a modern approach helping you start where you are, allowing you to transform HR at your pace. We augment your existing systems of record with modular, intelligent cloud apps focused on critical scenarios. The result: immediate benefits, little to no disruption, and the flexibility to add new capabilities however and whenever you want.
