For frontline workers, the offline-first experience inDynamics365 Field Service Mobile
has always been a lifeline. Whether on factory floors, in remote oil fields, or deep underground, teams can keep working without a network. But what happens when connectivity is available? Now, technicians can take full advantage.
Microsoft are excited to introduceOnline mode, a new capability that gives field service teams access to live Dataverse data within the offline-first app. The result? The reliability of offline access, combined with the power
of real-time insights.
With Online mode, your technicians are more connected, more informed, and more effective, wherever the job takes them.
It’s not enough to just hear what customers say, you need to understand what they really mean.
Whether it’s through a voice agent (IVR) or a chat with a virtual agent, the key is technology that truly understands customer intent.
That’s where Natural Language Understanding (NLU) makes the difference, helping contact centers respond more naturally, reduce call transfers, and make every interaction smoother.
Now, Microsoft is taking it a step further withNLU+ in Copilot Studio that gives businesses more control over how their virtual
agents respond, especially valuable for organizations with years of chat or call data. With this feature, teams can fine-tune how bots interpret customer intent, making conversations feel more personal, accurate, and effective.
