The benefits to Microsoft Azure are many but here are just a few:

Easier scheduling and more productive appointments
It enhances the customer experience by allowing your clients to make appointments via a secure online portal. By using Intelligent Appointment, your client is able to make their appointment with an advisor at your institution based on their branch history and financial tier. Then they are able to select from a list of times and dates or choose to make it a virtual meeting. The advisor is notified and the appointment is added to their calendar where they can review the customer’s history before the appointment. The customer also receives appointment reminders with a list of items that will help them prepare.
