Sr. Manager, Tmt Business Consulting (Focused On B2 B Tech Product Cos.) at a security firm with 11-50 employees
Enterprise ticketing has streamlined high-volume customer issues and provides unified analytics
The place where you can define the rules is at the back end. That module, where you write the assignment rules or the skill set rules or prioritization rules, has very limited flexibility in these rules engines. More flexible rule-defining back ends that you can customize to your business context more closely than you can right now would be better. Customization for the information design in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service is needed. The foundational information that goes into service management comes as foundational information that you need to program into or load into the service management platform. Right now, you need to change the rules to load them in the format that is required, and this should not be happening. AI capabilities in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service are more focused on the productivity aspects and the backend aspects. It is not personalizing interactions. The CRM part is more where these kinds of front-end customer personalizations take place.

Unified customer service has provided real-time insights and supports flexible, intuitive workflows
We have a customer service application for customer service in a smaller group, and for most purposes, we use the direct platform. It is a unified channel that depends upon the business. We do not use all channels, but we leverage them wherever they are applicable. The interface is intuitive and depends upon the business. Whenever there is a request for information, we come up with a design and then provide the opportunity to see if it is usable or if they would prefer it in another fashion. Out of the box, it is acceptable. It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side. Although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information. Real-time information is available. It includes both a dashboard and the customer service front desk UI.
