What their customers say
Quotes from people at Microsoft's customers.
““Nobody makes their own signatures anymore. They’re all managed from the back end, which makes the uniformity a lot better.””
““Externally, DSD has achieved a more professional and consistent appearance towards partners. We can actively showcase campaigns and events in email signatures which in turn increase the visibility of marketing initiatives. And 100 percent of our outbound emails use centrally managed email signatures.””
““We now have centralized control and governance over all email signatures,” says de Vries. “We have a uniform communication style and consistent branding. Because it’s automated, you don’t need a lot of IT resources to get it done. It’s a more professional, more efficient way of working.””
““Because the solution integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and automatically synchronizes user data via Entra ID, users did not need to manually configure anything,” notes Luca van Dijk, Head of Marketing, adding, “This significantly lowered the barrier to adoption and ensured a smooth onboarding experience.””
““Nobody makes their own signatures anymore,” enthuses de Vaan. “They’re all managed from the back end, which makes the uniformity a lot better. It takes a while to set up at first, but once it’s going, it saves you a lot of time in the long run. And as for promotions, news, and special events, we can now simply add a banner to the signature for a whole department from one place.”

““It has allowed us to proactively incorporate marketing messaging into everyday communication, making email a strategic channel rather than just an operational tool.””
““It was a logical choice to adopt a solution that integrates seamlessly with our cloud stack,” notes de Vries.”
““It was difficult to manage email signatures consistently across the organization,” notes Hidde de Vries, Business Developer. “There was no centralized control, which resulted in inconsistent branding and communication. In addition, manually configuring signatures per user and per device required significant time and effort from IT and end-users.”
““We now have centralized control and governance over all email signatures. We have a uniform communication style and consistent branding.””
