Yesterday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivered a big speech about the UK’s future in AI, and it’s clear that the government is betting big on this technology. AI isn’t just something for tech companies or researchers anymore—it’s about transforming the way all businesses work, big or small.

But AI isn’t just for the government to figure out. Businesses like yours stand to gain the most by making the most of these tools today. The good news? You don’t have to do it alone or start from scratch. With tools like Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform, you’ve already got access to game-changing AI. Let’s talk about what this means for your business and how CRM Knowledge can help you make the most of AI technology.

Why AI Matters? 

AI has been slowly creeping into our lives over the past few years, but the pace of change right now is staggering. For businesses, this means AI is no longer a "nice-to-have"; it’s quickly becoming a "must-have."

AI can save your business a significant amount of time and resources by handling those repetitive, time-draining tasks like data entry, scheduling, and chasing invoices—things no one enjoys doing. It also allows you to gain smarter insights at a much faster pace, sifting through vast amounts of data in seconds and identifying trends and opportunities that would take your team weeks to uncover.

Beyond efficiency, AI can help you deliver better customer experiences. Whether it’s personalising recommendations, improving customer service, or predicting what your customers need, AI allows you to connect with them in ways that feel more intuitive and human. And the best part? You don’t need a tech lab or a huge budget to start using AI. Microsoft has already built it into tools that many businesses already use, like Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform. That’s where CRM Knowledge come in—to help you tap into these tools and start seeing real results.

What Dynamics 365 and Power Platform Can Do For You 

Let’s break down what Microsoft’s AI tools can actually do for you, using Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform as your toolkit:

Data 

Every business collects data, but most of it sits there unused. Dynamics 365 Customer Insights uses AI to analyse your customer data and uncover trends, behaviours, and opportunities allowing you to know what your customer wants – before they even tell you. It gets you that competitive edge over your competitors!

Automation 

No one gets into business because they love admin. Thankfully, Power Automate can take on the work for you. Personally in our company – we use Power Automate to automate emails responses and create workflows to handle repetitive tasks. It frees up the rest of the team to focus on more important work.

Reporting 

Data is only useful if you can actually understand it. With Power BI, you could create dashboards that show you numbers and give you insights that you can action on. Clients of ours have utilised Power BI to see which products fly off the shelves and to see which campaigns might be underperforming.

Custom Solutions 

Every business is unique, so your applications should be too. Power Apps lets you build custom applications tailored to your exact business needs—without needing to hire a developer. Want a custom CRM feature or a tool for tracking internal workflows? We can get it done for you!

Customer Service 

With Dynamics 365 Customer Service, AI works alongside your team to simplify case management, provide instant answers to common questions, and even predict customer satisfaction.
