      Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation at UNSW

      Hear from UNSW on how implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 assisted them in managing student experiences, improving staff productivity and saving costs.

      UNSW is a leading Australian university, one of the group of eight, and ranks among the top 100 universities in the world. UNSW selected KPMG as their Microsoft partner to deploy Microsoft Dynamics 365 (CRM) to manage their student experience from the moment a potential student shows interest in the university to becoming an alumni.

      Dynamics 365 allowed the university to replace 17 different CRM systems and datasets with a single consolidated solution across the University. It was deployed across all eight UNSW faculties and provides huge benefits to staff productivity and cost savings.
