Unified Service Desk was released as part of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Spring 2014 release. This solution embodies the vision shared by both companies of connecting brands with customers via innovative technology and channels to deliver amazing customer experiences.
“Eighty-nine percent of consumers believe it is important to be able to communicate with brands on any channel and still receive the same quality and efficiency of response,” said Jujhar Singh, general manager of program management, Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
“We designed Microsoft Dynamics CRM Unified Service Desk to provide a unified experience for agents to deliver efficient and effective interactions across all channels.

Our work with LiveOps will help deliver on our vision of enabling businesses to deliver amazing customer experiences across all channels.”
LiveOps will offer voice and web chat capabilities to complement advanced, multichannel, social cloud contact centre capabilities delivered by Microsoft Dynamics CRM Unified Service Desk. This CTI integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, further enhances the solution’s customer service capabilities by giving agents access to integrated contact centre applications, as well as empowering managers to monitor and optimize inbound and outbound customer interactions to improve key metrics for customer satisfaction and agent productivity. The solution will provide a complete, integrated contact Centre solution that enables agents to manage every customer interaction for faster and better resolution.
“Customers want to use a breadth of communication channels for customer service,”1 writes Kate Leggett, principal analyst, Forrester Research, in a recent Forrester blog post. In an earlier post, she states, “Companies must understand their customers’ communication channel preferences and…choose technology ecosystems that provide the business agility and flexibility to meet customer channel demands today and in the future.”2
