Dynamics 365 for Finance & Insurance – guide & partners
The financial and insurance industry operates in a mature and competitive market characterized by strict regulation and high customer expectations. Digitalization has transformed the sector, with the emergence of FinTech challengers and new digital services driving the pace of innovation. Established players must navigate this landscape by modernizing their core systems, automating processes, and using data to create more personalized customer experiences. To remain relevant and competitive, an agile and secure IT infrastructure is essential. Many companies struggle with older, isolated systems (silos) that hinder regulatory compliance, data-driven insights, and a unified customer view. Investments in modern business systems are often a strategic necessity to manage everything from complex financial reporting (e.g. IFRS 17, Solvency II) to efficient customer service and risk management. A modern business system serves as a central platform for integrating and standardizing data from various sources. This enables automated processes for everything from claims management to regulatory reporting. By consolidating customer data in one place, companies can offer more cohesive and proactive service, which is crucial for building long-term customer relationships in a highly competitive industry.

How does Dynamics 365 handle regulatory requirements like IFRS 17 and Solvency II?
Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain is designed for complex accounting and can be configured to support specific reporting standards. Through data modeling and integrations, the system can collect necessary data and produce reports in accordance with applicable regulations. However, it often requires industry-specific configuration and sometimes complementary solutions.
Is it possible to integrate Dynamics 365 with our industry-specific core systems?
Yes, the platform has an open API and standardized connectors that enable integration with other systems, such as portfolio management or claims management systems. A common strategy is to use Dynamics 365 as an overarching shell for CRM and finance, which then integrates with existing core systems.
How is data integrity and security ensured in a cloud-based solution?
Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, on which Dynamics 365 is built, adheres to strict international and industry-specific security standards. The solution includes features for data encryption, role-based access control, threat monitoring, and audit logs to ensure high security and data integrity.
Can Dynamics 365 support our Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes?
Yes, Dynamics 365 can be used to digitize and standardize the onboarding process. The system can be configured to collect and validate customer information, integrate with external registers for verification, and flag anomalous transaction patterns for further investigation by a compliance department.
How can the platform help us get a 360-degree view of the customer?
By combining applications such as Customer Insights, Sales, and Customer Service, data from various touchpoints and systems can be merged. This creates a unified customer profile showing everything from customer holdings and transactions to service history and communication, providing a complete picture that can be used by advisors and customer service.
