- Real-time customer insights provide a deeper understanding of where each customer is in their purchase journey, and how to guide the relationship.
- Viva Sales is using Context IQ, announced last fall, to ensure relevant content is connected across Microsoft apps and services — like Dynamics 365 and Microsoft
365 — so sellers save time and stay in the flow of work.
