Customer profile unification

Customer Insights provides powerful capabilities for unifying data into one comprehensive customer profile by mapping all customer records into the Common Data Model (CDM) and by applying AI to automatically match and merge data from different data sources.

Customer Insights timeline

The Customer Insights timeline capability helps consolidate customers’ activities from various data sources, to create a timeline view of all customer interactions. Business analysts can preselect the type of interactions to be displayed on the timeline view, which will be displayed in the customer profile dashboard and can be embedded in Dynamics 365.
