Segmentation & Audiences

Build static, dynamic and AI-recommended segments from unified profile data. Use Copilot natural language to create complex audience definitions in seconds.

Real-Time Customer Journeys

Trigger personalised journeys from live customer events — form fill, purchase, service case, website visit — and deliver the right message at exactly the right moment.

Email & Multi-Channel Delivery

Design and send personalised email, SMS, push notifications and voice messages — with A/B testing, send-time optimisation and DKIM/DMARC deliverability best practices.

Lead Scoring & Qualification

Configure rule-based and AI-assisted lead scoring models. Route qualified leads to Dynamics 365 Sales at the right moment with full engagement context.

Event Management

Manage in-person events, webinars and virtual conferences — with registration, check-in, session management, speaker portals and post-event nurture journeys.

Forms, Pages & Preference Centre

Create branded forms and landing pages that capture consent, preferences and profile data — integrated with journeys, lead scoring and the unified profile in real time.

Consent & UK GDPR Compliance

Configure the consent centre, double opt-in flows, purpose-based consent tracking and suppression lists — ensuring every communication is compliant with UK GDPR and PECR.

AI & Copilot

Agentic marketing — powered by Microsoft AI

Dynamics 365 Customer Insights embeds Copilot and autonomous AI agents throughout the marketing workflow — dramatically accelerating time to campaign and improving audience precision.

We configure and activate these AI capabilities as part of every Customer Insights implementation — ensuring your marketing team can build, optimise and scale independently from day one.

Talk to a Consultant

Segment Copilot

Describe your target audience in plain English and Copilot builds the segment query — reducing hours of filter configuration to seconds.

Journey Copilot

Specify your business goal and audience, and Copilot generates the full journey structure — triggers, branches, channels and timing.

Content Ideas

Generate on-brand email subject lines, body copy and CTAs using Copilot — with brand voice, audience context and tone controls.

AI-Optimised Sending

AI selects the optimal send time per recipient based on historical engagement — increasing open rates and reducing unsubscribes automatically.

Query Assist

Use natural language to explore unified customer data — ask Copilot for segment sizes, engagement trends and profile insights without writing queries.

Churn & CLV Agents

Prebuilt AI models score customers for churn risk and lifetime value — triggering automated retention journeys before customers leave.

Important Notice

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Dynamics 365 Customer Insights and our implementation service.

Dynamics 365 Customer Insights is Microsoft's customer data platform (CDP) and real-time marketing application. It combines Customer Insights – Data (unified 360° profiles, AI predictions, segmentation) and Customer Insights – Journeys (real-time multi-channel marketing orchestration with Copilot) in a single per-tenant licence.

Customer Insights – Data is the CDP module that ingests and unifies customer data from multiple sources into a single profile enriched with AI predictions. Customer Insights – Journeys is the engagement layer that uses those unified profiles to deliver personalised real-time journeys across email, SMS, push and voice. Both are included in the single licence.

Yes. Microsoft has retired Outbound Marketing in favour of real-time journeys. Real-time journeys support all core Outbound Marketing scenarios — email campaigns, event management, lead scoring, forms, segments — plus real-time trigger-based journeys, SMS, push notifications and Copilot-assisted content creation. We migrate your existing Outbound assets and train your team on the new capabilities.

Customer Insights integrates natively with Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service via the shared Dataverse platform. Sales teams see unified profile cards with AI insights, purchase history and journey engagement data inside their Sales records. Customer Service agents see journey history and interaction data in their cases. Shared segments can trigger sales activities or proactive service outreach.

Customer Insights – Data connects to Dynamics 365 CRM and ERP, Azure Data Lake Storage, Dataverse, Azure Synapse Analytics, SQL databases, Salesforce, SAP, Shopify, Google Analytics and hundreds more via Power Query connectors. It also ingests CSV and Excel files for offline data. We design your data ingestion architecture to build unified profiles from all relevant first-party and third-party sources.

A focused Customer Insights – Journeys implementation covering real-time journeys, email, SMS and event management typically takes 6–10 weeks. A full Customer Insights – Data programme with multiple source integrations and AI models takes 12–20 weeks. We use phased delivery to get you to first value quickly. Outbound Marketing migration timelines depend on the volume and complexity of existing assets.

What is Dynamics 365 Customer Insights?

Customer Data Platform & Real-Time Marketing

Dynamics 365 Customer Insights is Microsoft's enterprise customer data platform (CDP) and real-time marketing orchestration application. It combines two core capabilities in a single licence: Customer Insights – Data and Customer Insights – Journeys.

Customer Insights – Data

Ingests data from CRM systems (Dynamics 365, Salesforce), ERP systems (Business Central, Finance, SAP), web analytics, loyalty platforms, and offline sources — unifying them into a single, consent-compliant customer profile using identity resolution and deduplication. AI models enrich profiles with churn probability, customer lifetime value, and product propensity scores.

Customer Insights – Journeys

Uses those unified profiles to trigger and orchestrate real-time personalised journeys across email, SMS, push notifications, voice, and custom channels. Copilot helps marketers build segments, create content, and design journeys using natural language — dramatically reducing time to campaign.

Outbound Marketing Retirement

Microsoft has retired Outbound Marketing in favour of real-time journeys. All Dynamics 365 Marketing customers must migrate to real-time journeys to access the latest Copilot and trigger-based capabilities. Customer Insights integrates natively with Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service via Dataverse.

Capabilities & Technical Architecture

Data Ingestion & Unification

Customer Insights – Data connects to over 500 data sources via Power Query connectors, Azure Data Factory, and native Dataverse integration. Configurable match and merge rules resolve customer identities across sources to create a single, deduplicated profile per person or account.

AI Models & Predictions

Prebuilt machine learning models include churn prediction (configurable churn window and definition), customer lifetime value prediction, and product recommendation models. Custom models trained in Azure Machine Learning can be integrated via the extensible AI model framework.

Segmentation & Real-Time Journeys

The segment builder supports attribute-based, behavioural, AI-recommended, and relationship-based segments updated in near real-time. Journey triggers include Dataverse record changes, custom events, segment membership changes, and interaction-based events — supporting if/else branching, A/B variants, exit conditions, and goal tracking.

Channel Delivery & Consent

Email delivery supports DKIM, SPF, DMARC, and custom sending domains. SMS via integrated providers. Push notifications via Azure Notification Hubs. The consent centre manages opt-in and opt-out at purpose, topic, and channel level — with automated suppression enforcement across all journey sends.

Implementation & Support

Outbound to Real-Time Migration

We have a proven migration methodology for Dynamics 365 Marketing Outbound customers moving to real-time journeys. Our process audits all existing assets (segments, email templates, lead scoring models, forms, events, customer journeys), maps them to real-time equivalents, migrates or rebuilds each asset, validates consent data, and trains the marketing team on Copilot-assisted tools.

UK GDPR & PECR Compliance

We configure all Customer Insights deployments with UK-compliant consent centres, purpose-based consent tracking, suppression list management, and preference centre pages — aligned to ICO guidance. For email marketing we implement DKIM, SPF, and DMARC authentication on custom sending domains.

CRM Integration

We connect Customer Insights with Dynamics 365 Sales to surface unified profile insights, AI scores, and journey engagement data inside seller records. Sales teams see a marketing timeline, lead score history, and Copilot-generated next best action recommendations without leaving their CRM.
