By combining intelligent automation, real-time insights, and seamless collaboration, the platform helps service teams not only resolve issues faster but also strengthen relationships and drive long-term loyalty. The following key benefits highlight how Dynamics 365 Customer Service can elevate your support operations and deliver measurable value across your organization.

1. Deliver exceptional, personalized experiences
   By leveraging AI-driven recommendations, virtual agents, and omnichannel support, agents deliver tailored, consistent experiences that enhance satisfaction and build loyalty.
2. Empower agents & simplify workflows
   Smart tools like productivity panes, scripts, and expert collaboration enable faster case resolution and reduce agent burnout. This boosts both efficiency and team morale.
3. Boost data-driven decision making
   Built-in analytics and dashboards provide actionable insights into performance, customer satisfaction, and operational effectiveness, driving continuous improvement.
4. Scalable and intelligent platform
   With its tiered editions, AI features, and integration capabilities, Dynamics 365 Customer Service can grow with your organization and adapt to increasingly complex support models.
5. Integration with the Microsoft ecosystem
   Dynamics 365 Customer Service natively connects with Office 365 and other D365 applications. With the ability to integrate Sales, Marketing, Field Service, and Project Operations, you create one cohesive customer engagement experience.
6. Secure, cloud-ready infrastructure
   Built on Azure, the platform offers control, encryption, compliance, and scalability, all essential for modern, secure deployments.

Dynamics 365 Customer Service is available in three editions. This gives organizations the flexibility to choose the right level of functionality to match their service needs and budget. Each edition builds on the last, offering more advanced capabilities as requirements grow.

Organizations that license multiple Dynamics 365 applications can benefit from bundle pricing. Bundling offers significant cost savings while providing a fully integrated platform for managing all aspects of customer engagement. For example, combining Customer Service with Sales, Marketing, or Field Service under a single subscription not only reduces the per-user cost compared to licensing each app individually but also enables seamless data flow, unified reporting, and consistent customer experiences across departments.

Bundle pricing allows organizations to adopt a more holistic approach to customer engagement. By connecting marketing campaigns, sales pipelines, and service operations on one platform organizations eliminate departmental silos and improve team collaboration. Every customer interaction is informed by complete, up-to-date contact information. By leveraging bundled licenses, businesses can maximize their Microsoft investment, scale efficiently as they grow, and ensure their teams have access to the right tools for every stage of the customer lifecycle.

Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (also called Dynamics 365 CRM) includes a suite of interconnected apps designed to manage the full customer lifecycle:

• Dynamics 365 Sales — Accelerates deal closing with AI, LinkedIn integration, and Microsoft 365 tools

• Dynamics 365 Field Service — Delivers field operations optimized by IoT, scheduling, and mixed-reality support.
