Enterprise software developers would be delighted if an entire organization standardized on just their technology stack. However, each company is unique, and so are its processes. Rarely can one vendor provide for every need you have. Additionally, software solutions are often acquired over time, meaning that the best solution available at the time might not be from the same developer you’ll buy from next year.
The variety of software solutions within a larger organization can give rise to data silos and difficulty in sharing information across multiple divisions – resulting in an increase in errors and a decrease in productivity.
Do you have Dynamics 365 Marketing? Then you might consider integrating your marketing solutions with Dynamics 365 to centralize your customer and marketing data and unify interdivisional activities. What benefits would that integration provide?
Benefits of Integrating Dynamics 365 with Other Marketing Platforms
Centralized data management. Dynamics 365 Marketing acts as the single source of customer and marketing truth. Integrating other platforms with Dynamics 365 ensures all information is accurate, synchronized, and up to date, thereby reducing errors and duplicate records.
Improved targeting and personalization. Having all customer and marketing information in one place opens up a host of new possibilities for leveraging that precious data. You’ll have a complete profile of your customers. You can analyze their recorded activities to gain business insights. By having a more holistic view of your customers, you’ll be better able to personalize your customer experiences and make your marketing campaigns more laser-focused on those most likely to purchase, thereby getting more engagements and even conversions for your advertising dollar.
Increased efficiency. Working with multiple marketing platforms means entering data multiple times. Human error can result in inaccuracies. Moreover, if the user of one platform updates a customer’s telephone number, he’d have to notify users of other systems to update their records as well. All of this harms productivity. Integrating these solutions ensures that duplicate data is removed and customer records are up to date across the entire organization. It also provides greater consistency in marketing campaigns, which elevates your brand in the eyes of your potential clients.
Better reporting and analytics. Combining the data and efforts of your entire team, regardless of the marketing platform they use, can give you deep business insights. Analyzing and generating reports from the combined data can help you fine-tune marketing campaign performance, making data-driven decisions to better align future campaigns with customer preferences.
