The 2022 release wave 2 plan covers all new functionalities planned to be delivered to market from October 2022 to March 2023. In this article, you'll find the product overview and what's new and planned for Dynamics 365 Customer Insights.
Overview
Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, Microsoft’s customer data platform, breaks down data, technology, and people silos. This empowers businesses to own and control their data while unifying customer profiles from different data sources, enriching them with Microsoft’s unique data assets. This helps to create powerful AI-driven predictions, segments, and measures to better understand customers, personalize experiences, and enable ubiquitous insights.
The past two years have seen an exponential growth in data from digital channels, radical changes in data privacy, and the unprecedented expectation that organizations will work seamlessly as one to deliver real-time personalized experiences. This has turned first-party data into the most valuable asset organizations have today. To align with these market changes, we have continued to invest in the following feature themes for this release:
- Customer understanding
- Personalized experiences
- Ubiquitous insights
