Experian + Microsoft Dynamics 365: How we help you capture and manage the highest quality data

We have partnered with Microsoft to help you keep data quality at the heart of your business, empowering you to lean on trusted CRM data for better and faster decision-making, operational efficiency, and so much more.

With fast and accurate contact data validation integrated into Microsoft Dynamics, leads entered into your CRM system are validated at the point of entry. Now, there is never a roadblock when it comes to building relationships with your customers—sales reps and marketers alike are equipped with the right contact information to reach customers and prospects efficiently.

What is Experian's data validation app in Microsoft Dynamics 365?

Experian’s certified data validation app for Microsoft Dynamics 365 is the fastest way to capture, standardize, validate, and enrich postal addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers globally and in real-time.

How does the integration work?

The integration is simple and seamless as it automatically kickstarts data quality control across your CRM system. The user-friendly technology enables anyone—business user or data professional alike—to effectively manage the quality of CRM records.

When a user creates or edits a contact, lead, or account within Microsoft Dynamics 365, the application works within the form to check and correct the customer’s contact data before it enters your database. Magic.

Within the form, our data validation solutions verify three key contact points for each record:

1. Address validation: With official postal sources like USPS® and Royal Mail, you can be sure the address is deliverable and standard to country formats.
2. Email validation: We are able to silently live ping an inbox to determine the validity and deliverability, keeping you far away from SPAM traps. Furthermore, with consumer and business email identification, you can be sure you are emailing the right contact and staying in compliance.
3. Phone validation: Similar to address and email validation, we can validate consumer phone numbers plus identify if they are landline or mobile.

Address, email, and phone data are foundational to any operation across any industry. With a complete customer profile, you can take a multichannel approach to reaching and staying in touch with customers and prospects. Overall, making your team’s life easier (but we’ll touch on the benefits at the end!).

Data quality for Microsoft Dynamics 365 gives you an all-in-one solution to manage trusted customer data for your business operation.

1. Complete data quality solution: Experian provides the full package for Microsoft Dynamics 365—users get to benefit from the complete suite of real-time validation capabilities.
2. In-line validation within forms: Intuitive in-line validation within this application enables users to make quick and easy updates to new and existing accounts.
3. Validation time and date stamp: The validation time and date stamp allow you to see the age of the contact and when it was last validated. Data decay can be a huge issue for most but running a report with this capability minimizes the risk of outdated customer contact information.

Implementing data quality control into your tech stack goes beyond the green checkmark of validation. Empowering your users with correct contact information saves time, money, resources, and so much more.
