Microsoft might own LinkedIn, but the monoliths are learning to play nicely, with deeper data integrations on the way.

Linking In

Microsoft Dynamics 365 and LinkedIn Sales Navigator will soon link up, giving marketers the inside scoop on LinkedIn’s 500 million users.

Microsoft says this will allow marketers to locate and connect with the right decision makers, and boost their sales pipeline.

You can also access metrics around email signals, CRM, and LinkedIn data to get contextual recommendations for your next strategic steps.

HR Hoopla

The second update is Dynamics 365 for Talent, aimed at the Human Resources crowd.

This tool lets recruiters search for candidates directly from LinkedIn’s Recruiter and Learning features – all the way from recruitment to placement.

The new integrations will launch in July.
