In today’s customer-centric era, chatbots are becoming increasingly popular as a means to deliver instant customer support. These automated, self-service tools not only enhance issue resolution, therefore elevating customer satisfaction, but also alleviate the workload on human agents. This allows your team to concentrate on more intricate tasks, reducing repetitive responsibilities.
What is Microsoft Power Virtual Agents?
Microsoft Power Virtual Agents, powered by AI, facilitates real-time resolution of common queries and issues, from basic inquiries to complex problem-solving. With an intuitive drag-and-drop builder, users can design multi-turn conversations effortlessly. The platform employs generative AI copilot capabilities, allowing users to describe their requirements while AI takes care of building and updating the chatbot. These AI capabilities evolve over time using machine learning techniques to improve performance.
The platform seamlessly integrates with Microsoft products, ensuring comprehensive data recording and secure interaction storage. Power Virtual Agents also offers connectors for third-party solutions, enabling chatbots to be published across various channels, including Teams, Facebook, websites, and more, facilitating customer engagement through multiple touchpoints.

See what our customers say
Mercurius IT provided very competitive onshore and offshore rates for our Dynamics NAV implementation. In addition, they demonstrated flexibility and resourcefulness in order to meet our short implementation deadline successfully. Their functional consultants possess a high level of expertise in the product and were willing to go the extra mile to handhold our Finance team during the implementation.
We’ve been working with Mercurius for more than 5 years, they both implemented and support our NAV system. We’ve found NAV to be a great end-to-end solution for our business and it performs all our organisational processes extremely well.
Mercurius have always been very responsive to our needs and continue to offer great pro-active advice and guidance on how we can improve our business with NAV using both existing and new features. I would be happy to recommend Microsoft Dynamics NAV as a Business System; as well as Mercurius to anyone looking for a partner who is able to offer excellent skills and a high level of service at a very competitive rate.
Not only did Mercurius beat our existing partner’s quote by a significant margin, they did it at a fixed price – removing our commercial risk.
In the end, they guided us carefully through the process and also implemented some great improvements to our business using the new features.
