Case Study: North Dakota State University prepares students for marketing careers with Microsoft Dynamics Academic Alliance

Passionate Teachers Make a Difference in Advancing Students Careers using Microsoft Dynamics

Microsoft partnered with North Dakota State University (NDSU), a large university, through its Dynamics Academic Alliance program. The challenge for NDSU was to successfully prepare its students for careers after graduation and provide them with a competitive advantage in the job market.

The solution involved integrating Microsoft Dynamics CRM into the classroom, led by a passionate teacher who created a vibrant, hands-on learning experience. A key result was that graduate Griffin Swanson was hired by Microsoft partner Professional Advantage, as his classroom experience with the software made him a stand-out candidate. Microsoft's program provided students with direct experience on software used by thousands of organizations worldwide, successfully preparing them for the workforce.
