Whether you\u2019re looking through the lens of a marketer or consumer, it is clear that the way we seek goods and services has undergone significant change over the past couple of years. Coming out of the pandemic, McKinsey<\/a> estimates that approximately 75 percent of consumers continue to switch brands. Today, 64 percent of B2C customers and 80 percent of B2B customers1<\/sup> expect brands to interact consistently with them across all touchpoints in real time.<\/p>\n

As companies evolve to meet the changing needs of consumers, the next wave of digital transformation will be shaped by their ability to create integrated, moments-based journeys for individual consumers. As a result, organizations across industries are moving away from an outsourced approach to marketing and advertising and instead building their own marketing systems based on first-party data. Technology is the key to realizing the value of that data and developing personalized end-to-end experiences across the consumer lifecycle.<\/p>\n

Spending on marketing technology continues to increase<\/h2>\n

Throughout the uncertain economic circumstances caused by the pandemic, marketers still allocated more than a quarter of their budget to technology and 68 percent of CMOs expect their investments to increase2<\/sup>, particularly for the adoption of agile platform capabilities that support future growth and change.<\/p>\n

As organizations adopt technology-driven marketing strategies, Microsoft partners have a tremendous opportunity to sell, deploy, configure, and customize the services that make up the Microsoft Customer Experience Platform (MCXP). The market for Dynamics 365 and Power Platform is up almost 50% year over year, with a partner opportunity of $7 in services for every $1 licensing.<\/p>\n
