Turning Incident Response Into a Customer Experience Advantage 

Insight Global helped a global technology corporation scale incident communications across its growing Dynamics and Power Platform ecosystem, delivering faster updates, greater transparency, and near-real-time operational visibility.

The Client 

A global technology corporation specializing in software, cloud computing, AI, and hardware that operates a widely used AI-powered assistant designed to enhance productivity across applications and devices. 

With millions of users depending on its business applications and cloud services every day, maintaining trust during service disruptions is critical. It requires timely, transparent communication that keeps internal stakeholders, customers, and business leaders informed throughout the incident lifecycle. 

As the organization’s Dynamics and Power Platform ecosystem continued to expand, it needed a scalable approach to incident communications that could keep pace with growth while delivering accurate updates during critical service events. 

The Challenge 

For global enterprises, managing service incidents is both an operational challenge and a customer experience challenge. 

When service-impacting incidents occur, customers expect fast, accurate information. Internal stakeholders need reliable visibility into evolving situations, and leadership teams need confidence that communications are reaching the right audiences at the right time. 

The client’s Dynamics and Power Platform business faced growing demands for both internal and external incident communications. As services expanded globally, existing communication processes needed to scale alongside them while maintaining speed, consistency, and transparency. Worldwide coverage requirements and an increasing volume of service-impacting incidents created additional complexity, making it critical to establish a more mature and scalable communications model.  

The organization needed a partner that could help operationalize incident communications at scale while improving stakeholder visibility and strengthening the overall customer experience during incidents.  

The Solution 

Insight Global designed and operated a scalable incident communications capability focused on speed, visibility, and operational consistency. 

Working across the entire incident lifecycle, our team managed internal and external communications for key stakeholders and customers, ensuring critical information could be delivered quickly and accurately during severe service-impacting incidents. Rather than treating communications as a reactive process, we helped create a structured operating model capable of supporting a growing product portfolio and a global customer base.  

To improve visibility and reporting, Insight Global evolved incident reporting into a semi-automated, near-real-time Power BI reporting solution. This provided leadership teams with improved access to incident information and delivered more transparent visibility during incidents, helping decision-makers stay informed as events unfolded. 

The result was a scalable communications engine capable of supporting business growth while helping stakeholders stay informed when it mattered most.  

How We Changed the Game 

While many organizations focus primarily on resolving incidents, we focused on improving how incident information is shared. 

By combining specialized talent, operational excellence, and reporting innovation, Insight Global helped transform incident communications into a strategic business capability. Our team continuously improved the process, identifying opportunities to increase visibility, expand proactive communications, and create a stronger experience for both internal stakeholders and customers. 

The engagement shifted the communications model from reactive updates toward greater transparency, broader proactive outreach, and near-real-time reporting. Leaders gained better visibility into communications performance, while customers received faster and more consistent information during critical service disruptions.  

This approach helped strengthen customer trust while creating a scalable foundation capable of supporting continued growth across Dynamics and Power Platform services.  

Outcomes and Impact 

The engagement delivered measurable improvements across communication speed, proactive engagement, and operational visibility. 

Faster Communication 

Insight Global helped the client achieve an average incident communication time of 28 minutes during calendar year 2024, ensuring stakeholders and customers received information quickly during service-impacting events.  

Expanded Proactive Communications 

The team grew its role to publish 96% of all proactive communications across Dynamics and Power Platform services, creating greater consistency and transparency across the client’s communications strategy.  

Near-Real-Time Visibility 

Insight Global transformed incident reporting into a semi-automated, near-real-time Power BI reporting solution, improving leadership visibility and enabling more transparent incident reporting.  

Stronger Customer Experience 

By delivering faster updates, broader communication coverage, and improved operational visibility, the organization strengthened its ability to keep stakeholders informed during critical service events.  

The Insight Global Difference 

In addition to technology, great customer experiences depend on people, processes, and execution to be successful. 

Insight Global combined strategic talent, operational leadership, and consulting expertise to build a communications capability that could scale alongside the client’s business. Rather than simply providing resources, we delivered a managed solution focused on continuous improvement, operational excellence, and measurable outcomes.
