Many companies lack insight into their data, forcing them to scramble and respond to situations and challenges as they arise. Do your customer service agents always waste time looking for information when they receive support calls or do you have the tools and resources in place to anticipate when a customer will contact you and what the most likely steps to resolution will be? There’s a distinction, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CE) fills the gap.

Implementing Your Dynamics 365 CE

  1. Begin with “why” – connect your D365 investment to your company’s strategic vision and task. Develop measurable targets such as “achieve the highest customer satisfaction rate in our industry within two years.” 
  2. To lead the project, form a multi-functional team – put together the right team of staff to help you prepare and execute your implementation.
  3. Determine the most critical objectives – consider the complexity of your project as well as the end product.
  4. Learn about the features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 – since Dynamics 365 has so much to give, it’s essential to check the solution’s functionality before implementing it. 
  5. Perform a process audit- try having well-documented processes when it comes to execution, it will save you a lot of time. 
  6. Examine the latest tools and programs – ensure your existing systems can easily integrate with D365. It’s also crucial for your team to look ahead and familiarize themselves with the new approach at this stage. 
  7. Training and testing – consider how your employees will be trained on the program in-person, through e-learning, or by combining the two. End-user training should be role-based and adapted to the learning styles of your employees. 
  8. Implementation and evaluation – once you go online, you can plan on continuing to release updates, taking into account user reviews along the way—plan for continual progress and change, particularly when your company’s priorities shift.
  9. Choose the software development lifecycle management tool – know where you’ll keep all of your work, from the code repository to task management. Determine the licenses you’ll need for the project once you’ve decided on a method.
  10. Decide how you’ll assess the implementation’s success – consider the budget’s long-term viability, team commitment, and timetable.
  11. Make sure you know how the company works from beginning to end – each line of business must continue to operate on the new platform from beginning to end. It would be easier to ensure that no steps are skipped if you clearly understand their processes.
