Two key trends

Microsoft’s implementation of Copilot aligns with two significant trends observed in contact centers: the shift from a multi-channel focus to an omni-channel approach, coupled with the rise of artificial intelligence.

While both multi-channel and omni-channel strategies accommodate various contact channels like voice, chat, SMS, email, video, and social media, the multi-channel approach can inadvertently foster isolated communication pathways, contrasting with the standardized customer experience associated with omni-channel practices. Consequently, the preference has shifted towards the latter.

Microsoft is introducing the capability to rapidly create chatbots and conversation flows and seamlessly deploy them across diverse channels, enabling the establishment of a genuine omnichannel environment. This advancement in Dynamics 365 Customer Service Copilot emphasizes Microsoft’s commitment to embracing these trends and enhancing customer interactions across multiple communication platforms.
