The built-in, AI-powered capabilities of Dynamics 365 Customer Service are dropping support resolution times, injecting intelligent automation into our support workflow, improving the support experience for our employees, and raising the bar for AI-powered service and support at Microsoft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a common sentiment for large enterprises to say, \u201cwe need to customize our software,\u201d and we\u2019re no different internally here at Microsoft. Out-of-the-box (OOB) software often struggles to meet the unique and complex needs of enterprises like ours, requiring extensive customization to align with organizational processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Microsoft Digital, the company\u2019s internal IT organization, we\u2019re familiar with customizing software to fit the needs of our employees and our business partners like HR. For years, we\u2019ve customized third-party software, integrated custom-built features, engineered our own tools, and even customized Microsoft software and services to meet our needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AskHR has been a perfect example of this. AskHR is our internal employee engagement platform used by Microsoft HR to manage interactions with our employees. It handles more than 600,000 inquiries per year. Initially, it relied heavily on email, but over the last decade it has evolved to use Dynamics 365 Customer Service and the Microsoft Power Platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, like many of our internal solutions, AskHR has undergone a lot of customization over the years. While these tailored features improve overall capabilities, they\u2019ve also led to technical debt and deprecated functionalities. Approximately 80 percent of AskHR\u2019s functionality is customized with only 20 percent coming from the OOB capabilities of the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/06\/Sam-Gullane.png\" alt=\"A photo of Gullane.\" class=\"wp-image-22100\" style=\"width:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/06\/Sam-Gullane.png 500w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/06\/Sam-Gullane-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/insidetrack\/blog\/uploads\/prod\/2025\/06\/Sam-Gullane-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDynamics 365 Customer Service now has the features we\u2019ve built customizations for in the past, plus the AI-powered capabilities are providing huge benefits.

These advancements rapidly accelerate the AskHR team\u2019s efforts to modernize and streamline their customer service operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of the key AI features in the Dynamics 365 Customer Service toolkit that we\u2019re using in AskHR:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Case Summary <\/strong>gives HR Advisors a quick overview of everything that has happened in a case. Instead of reading through long notes or message threads, the HR Advisor sees a short summary that highlights the most important actions, updates, and outcomes. This helps them understand the situation right away even if they weren\u2019t involved from the beginning. In the AskHR process, this feature is especially useful when cases are passed between team members or when there are a lot of requests coming in at once. It saves time and helps ensure nothing important is missed. For example, if an employee has contacted HR several times about a leave of absence, the HR Advisor can quickly see what\u2019s already been discussed and what still needs to be done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Email Drafting<\/strong> helps HR Advisors write emails faster and more accurately. It uses Copilot to pull in relevant information from the knowledge base and the case history, so the HR Advisor doesn\u2019t have to search for it manually. The system can suggest content, recommend templates, and even help with formatting, all within the email editor. In the AskHR process, this feature is especially useful when responding to common employee questions\u2014like those about leave policies, benefits, or onboarding. Instead of starting from scratch, the HR Advisor can use the suggested draft as a starting point and make quick edits before sending. This not only saves time but also helps ensure that the information shared is accurate and consistent across the team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Customer Knowledge Management Agent <\/strong>helps HR advisors create new knowledge articles based on real case data. When a case is resolved, the system uses AI to look at the notes and resolution details and then suggests a draft article that could be added to the knowledge base. This makes it easier to capture useful information from everyday support work and turn it into helpful content for future use. Instead of relying on a separate team to write articles, HR advisors can contribute directly through their daily work. This shortens the time it takes to publish new content and ensures that the information is accurate and based on real employee needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Ask a Question<\/strong> lets HR advisors type in questions using natural language to quickly find answers. Instead of searching through multiple systems or documents, they can simply ask a question\u2014just like they would ask a colleague\u2014and the system will pull the most relevant information from the knowledge base or case data. The feature also supports follow-up questions, so if the first answer isn\u2019t quite right, the HR Advisor can ask for more details or clarification, reducing the time spent switching between systems and digging through documentation.&nbsp;We\u2019re also planning to integrate additional AI capabilities from Dynamics 365 Customer Service into future iterations of AskHR:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Intent Assist<\/strong> uses AI to understand what an employee is asking for even when the question isn\u2019t perfectly clear\u2014like whether the employee is asking about vacation time, a leave of absence, or how to update their benefits. Once the system identifies the intent, it can suggest follow-up questions to help the HR advisor get more details and provide the right answer. Intent Assist also helps with routing. If the system recognizes that a request is about a specific topic\u2014like payroll or time off\u2014it can send the case directly to the right team or person. This reduces wait times and ensures that employees are connected with someone who can help them right away.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Case Management Agent<\/strong> uses AI to handle routine case-related tasks. When an employee submits a request, the system can automatically create a case without the HR Advisor needing to do anything manually. It fills in the basic details, assigns the case to the right queue, and sends an acknowledgment to the employee. After the issue is resolved, the system can also close the case automatically. For example, if the employee confirms that their question has been answered or if there\u2019s no response after a few follow-up messages, the system can suggest closing the case. This helps keep the case queue clean and ensures that HR Advisors can focus on active issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>AI Suggestions <\/strong>uses AI to collect and present information about similar cases that were previously resolved successfully to help HR advisors find the right solutions to new cases quickly. When a case is opened, the system can suggest relevant articles or documents based on the topic and content of the case. These suggestions are powered by AI, which looks at the case details and matches them with similar past cases or helpful resources. This helps HR advisors respond more confidently with up-to-date information, increase productivity, and provide better and faster service to employees. The system also learns over time. As more cases are handled and more articles are used, the AI gets better at recommending the right content. This helps reduce repeat questions and improves the overall quality of support. It also supports self-service by making it easier to surface helpful content directly to employees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Unified Routing<\/strong> ensures each employee request is sent to the right HR advisor as quickly as possible. It uses AI to look at the details of the request\u2014like the topic, urgency, and the employee\u2019s location\u2014and then matches it with an advisor who has the right skills and availability. This helps reduce wait times and improves the chances that the employee gets the right answer on the first try. Unified Routing is especially useful for managing high volumes of requests across different HR service areas. For example, if someone asks about parental leave, the system can automatically route that case to an advisor who specializes in benefits. If the request is urgent or sensitive, it can prioritize it and send it to someone who\u2019s available right away. This avoids delays and makes the support process more personal and responsive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith Dynamics 365 Customer Service, AI capabilities such as intent recognition and case automation are transforming how we support employees,\u201d Fattedad says. \u201cAI enhances efficiency and makes things easier for support staff and users throughout the support lifecycle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unifying the support experience with omnichannel and Dynamics 365 Contact Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game-changing AI capabilities in AskHR go beyond individual features in Dynamics 365 Customer Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dynamics 365 Contact Center is a Copilot-first, cloud-based tool that uses AI to make working with employees easier and faster. We\u2019re using it to connect employees to HR advisors through different channels, like email, chat, and voice. Contact Center simplifies and enhances employee interaction with features like AI-powered summaries, interactive voice systems, and live translations. It improves how HR advisors communicate with employees, including empowering employees to solve problems on their own, saving time and cutting costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Embedded AI-driven insights and analytics provide valuable tools to improve customer satisfaction and refine support strategies. Collaboration with HR advisors is facilitated through Microsoft Teams while performance and productivity can be monitored through detailed reports and dashboards, offering visibility into operational metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re using Dynamics 365 Contact Center to provide an omnichannel experience and transform the way we handle customer interactions,\u201d Gullane says. \u201cBy integrating multiple communication channels into a single platform, we ensure a seamless and consistent experience for both customers and HR Advisors, regardless of the channel used.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This integration allows HR Advisors to view all interactions in one place. By consolidating all customer interactions and relevant information into a single view, Contact Center enables agents to provide more informed and efficient support. These capabilities are a win-win for the HR advisor and the employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Employees are looking for a more seamless experience across different channels,\u201d Fattedad says. \u201cWe want to meet their expectations and provide an experience that allows them to connect and communicate in the best way for them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s about building for the future with agentic AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe modernization of AskHR is about future-proofing our capabilities,\u201d Gullane says. \u201cThis is a work in progress for us, and our main goal is to continue to use OOB features, reducing the need for custom code and solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gullane expects Copilot-based, autonomous agents to be a big factor in upcoming capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaking AskHR more autonomous benefits everyone,\u201d she says. &#8220;These agents are trained to autonomously learn to address new and emerging issues via self-service, improve the quality of issue resolution across channels, and help drive time and cost savings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the Customer Intent Agent enables continuous improvement of self-service capabilities by discovering new intents from past and current customer conversations across all channels, mapping issues and corresponding resolutions maintained by the agent in a library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The future of AskHR will be built on continuous improvement and using AI to automate and optimize support processes.
