Australia – Amperity, an AI-powered Lakehouse customer data platform (CDP), and Microsoft Azure collaborate to help businesses change customer interactions via data-driven insights and personalisation.
Retailers may use first-party data to develop loyalty, reduce turnover, and maximise lifetime value, while also shaping future omnichannel experiences and fostering pre- and post-purchase interaction and brand advocacy.
The innovative cooperation recently received recognition at the Microsoft Retail & Consumer Goods 2024 Microsoft Partner of the Year Award, where Amperity was named a finalist. The organisation was named to a global list of notable Microsoft partners for its achievements in designing and executing customer solutions using Microsoft technology.
The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards honour Microsoft partners who, during the course of the previous year, have excelled in the creation and delivery of Microsoft Cloud apps, services, hardware, and artificial intelligence advancements. These are multi-category awards, and the winners are chosen from more than 4,700 nominations that come from more than 100 different countries.
Speaking about the partnership, Curt Lockton, SVP of strategic partnerships at Amperity, said, “The synergy between Amperity and Microsoft is pushing the boundaries of AI-driven customer experiences, and empowering brands to harness the full potential of their data to understand their customers, deliver personalised experiences and drive revenue.
