Case Study 1 - Fabrikam, Inc
Background
Fabrikam, Inc., is a global consumer goods company that is undergoing a digital transformation initiative to migrate its entire infrastructure to the Microsoft cloud. As a key element of this cloud migration, the company will implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, moving away from the current on-premises proprietary technologies used by its business-to-business (B2B) sales team.
As part of the cloud migration, Fabrikam will adopt an AI-first approach to its business solutions and implement AI solutions, wherever possible, to streamline operations.
Problem Statements
Fabrikam's infrastructure currently relies on various on-premises systems that require sales executives to use corporate computers with physical keyboards to access business information during customer interactions. Mobile phones cannot be used for these purposes, as the systems depend on keyboard input. As a result, the sales executives spend a lot of time using keyboards to search for data on several disparate systems and file servers, rather than focusing on the customers. This affects the customer experience.
Fabrikam stakeholders are concerned that users will be hesitant to adopt AI. If the AI initiatives are NOT adopted, cost savings will never be realized. Additionally, funding for future AI initiatives will depend on demonstrating an increase in AI adoption month over month. As the AI agent initiative for the sales team will be the first for Fabrikam, the rapid adoption of the agent is a high priority.
Planned Initiatives
General
Fabrikam management has prioritized AI-driven projects to improve efficiency, customer engagement, and responsible AI adoption. The current application infrastructure is on-premises and must be migrated to the cloud to support the adoption of these technologies.
Infrastructure Migration
Fabrikam plans to migrate from its current on-premises infrastructure to a completely cloud-based topology; this will include user authentication, the security framework, and, primarily, the adoption of the services by end users.
All the data from the different systems will be consolidated into a single data source - a common data model that will use a Microsoft Dataverse environment as a single source of truth (SSOT) for the sales team.
Sales Cycle Enablement
To achieve the company's objectives, Fabrikam intends to implement the following strategies to enhance the sales cycle:
- Use low-code development to create a single AI agent that has
Dataverse as its core component.
- Ensure that sales managers can access unanswered correspondence from
prospects and intervene as appropriate.
- Replace the previous proprietary software with Dynamics 365 Sales to
track sales cycles and customer interactions.
- Have the sales executives use Dynamics 365 Sales to track
interactions for open opportunities and send follow-up communications
to prospects.
- Have the sales executives use handsfree headsets to interact with an
AI agent when they have questions about internal policies or customer
data.
Requirements
Infrastructure Migration
Fabrikam has identified the following infrastructure migration requirements:
- Azure must be used for all future infrastructure workloads.
- The company must follow Microsoft-recommended methodologies for
infrastructure migration to the cloud.
- Any created AI agents must have their return on investment (ROI)
calculated to ensure that the solution will save the company money.
Sales Cycle Enablement
Fabrikam has identified the following requirements for sales cycle enablement:
- The final AI agent must follow Microsoft recommendations for a
conversational user experience.
- A designated checklist must be reviewed to ensure that the AI agent
follows Microsoft deployment recommendations for a compliant solution.
- Detailed telemetry must be logged for the first created AI agent to
help troubleshoot and optimize the agent during the initial AI agent
adoption process.
- Unexpected AI agent actions must end in an escalation to a live
representative. For example, a sales executive must be rerouted to a
representative if the agent cannot answer a question after two failed
attempts.
- The return on investment (ROI) of switching from the current process
to the future process is required for stakeholder sign off.
- The sales team must use Dynamics 365 Sales to correspond with
prospects more quickly and efficiently than currently.
- Sales managers must report on the adoption of the AI agent to key
Fabrikam stakeholders on a monthly basis.
- Any sensitive information, such as user IDs and names, shared via the AI agent must be tracked for future auditing.

Hotspot Question
Which components should you use to meet the sales cycle enablement requirements? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Suggested Answer:
Explanation:
Scenario:
Use low-code development to create a single AI agent that has Dataverse as its core component.
Box 1: Microsoft Copilot Studio
For AI agent creation
Scenario:
A designated checklist must be reviewed to ensure that the AI agent follows Microsoft deployment recommendations for a compliant solution.
The Microsoft tool that should be used to create the AI agent is Microsoft Copilot Studio.
It is a low-code platform specifically designed for building and managing intelligent agents that integrate with Microsoft Dataverse as a core component for storing data and providing business context. To ensure the agent follows Microsoft's deployment recommendations, users should consult the implementation checklist provided within the Microsoft Copilot Studio documentation.
Key Features of Microsoft Copilot Studio:
Low-Code Interface: Uses a graphical builder or natural language to design agent behaviors and conversation flows.
Dataverse Integration: Leverages Dataverse as the enterprise data platform to ground agents in organizational knowledge and store shared context.
Governance and Compliance: Includes built-in responsible AI features and aligns with enterprise security standards.
Multi-Channel Deployment: Allows publishing agents across Microsoft Teams, websites, and mobile apps.
Box 2: a Fallback topic
For unexpected AI agent actions.
Scenario:
Unexpected AI agent actions must end in an escalation to a live representative. For example, a sales executive must be rerouted to a representative if the agent cannot answer a question after two failed attempts.
In a low-code environment using Microsoft Copilot Studio with Dataverse, you can ensure unexpected AI actions lead to a live representative by configuring specific system topics.
1. Configure the System Fallback Topic
The Fallback system topic triggers when the AI agent cannot match a user's intent to any existing topic or knowledge source with sufficient confidence.
Enable Fallback: In Copilot Studio, navigate to Settings > General Settings > System fallback and click Add.
Action: Edit the Fallback topic to include a Go to topic node that redirects to the Escalate system topic.
2. Implement the Escalate System Topic
The Escalate topic is the primary mechanism for handoffs.
3. Handle Errors and Infinite Loops
