Business and Tech Integration AV
Netherlands
Introductie
Binnen Avanade werken we dagelijks aan het ontwerpen en implementeren van Dynamics 365 CE oplossingen voor uiteenlopende organisaties. AI speelt hierin een steeds grotere rol, bijvoorbeeld via Copilot, generatieve AI, voorspellingen en slimme suggesties.
Binnen deze afstudeeropdracht ga je onderzoeken hoe AI in Dynamics 365 CE op een functionele manier kan worden ingezet om werkprocessen slimmer, efficiënter en waardevoller te maken en onder welke voorwaarden dit in de praktijk ook echt lukt.
Achtergrond
Dynamics 365 CE wordt steeds vaker verrijkt met AI-functionaliteit (zoals Copilot, generatieve AI, voorspellende inzichten en slimme suggesties). In de praktijk blijkt echter dat AI pas waarde levert als:
• De use cases goed gekozen zijn (waar zit echt tijdswinst of kwaliteitswinst?)
• De data en processen er klaar voor zijn (datakwaliteit, definities, datatoegang)
• Er adoptie en vertrouwen ontstaat (uitlegbaarheid, “human in the loop”, training)
• Er governance en compliance is (security, privacy, rollen, logging, risico’s)
• De waarde meetbaar wordt gemaakt (KPI’s, baseline, monitoring)
Een functioneel consultant is bij uitstek de schakel om AI niet “als feature” maar als procesverbetering neer te zetten, passend bij de organisatie.
