Microsoft Azure
Microsoft Azure is the cloud foundation that powers MTC's most advanced Dynamics 365 and Power Platform solutions. Azure Functions for serverless integrations. Logic Apps for enterprise workflow automation. API Management for secure external APIs. Form Recognizer and Cognitive Services for AI document processing. AD B2C for external user authentication. Sentinel for security monitoring. MTC's 80+ engineers are Azure-certified and deploy Azure services daily in client implementations.
Microsoft Azure Pricing Plans
Azure pricing is consumption-based — you pay for what you use, when you use it. Most Azure services are priced per transaction, per compute hour, per GB, or per request — not per user per month. Use the Azure Pricing Calculator (azure.microsoft.com/pricing/calculator) to estimate costs for your specific workload.
Microsoft Azure
Azure is an ever-expanding set of cloud computing services to help your organization meet its business challenges.Azure gives you the freedom to build, manage, and deploy applications on a massive, global network using your preferred tools and frameworks.
Azure Cosmos DB
Globally distributed, multi-model NoSQL database for high-throughput, low-latency applications. Used for custom event stores, audit logs, and global data distribution scenarios.
Azure SQL Database
Managed, intelligent SQL in the cloud with built-in AI, automatic tuning, and advanced security. Used as the relational data store behind custom applications and integrations.
App Service
Fully managed platform for building and hosting web apps, REST APIs, and mobile backends. MTC uses App Service for custom portal APIs and .NET web applications integrated with Dynamics 365.
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
Managed Kubernetes for containerized application deployment. Used for complex microservices architectures and high-scale custom applications.
Cognitive Services
AI capabilities as APIs: vision, speech, language, and decision intelligence. MTC integrates Cognitive Services into portal workflows for document processing, language detection, and content moderation.
Azure Functions
Serverless event-driven compute. MTC uses Azure Functions as the glue between Dynamics 365 and external systems — triggered by webhooks, schedules, or queue messages.
Virtual Machines
Provision Windows and Linux VMs in seconds. Used for legacy workload hosting, development environments, and custom infrastructure that needs full OS control.
PlayFab
The complete LiveOps back-end platform for building and operating live games
Windows Virtual Desktop
The best virtual desktop experience, delivered on Azure
Azure Quantum

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Azure pricing different from Microsoft 365 or Dynamics 365?
Azure is consumption-based — you pay for what you use (compute hours, storage GBs, API calls, transactions). Unlike Microsoft 365 or Dynamics 365 which are per-user-per-month subscriptions, Azure costs vary based on actual usage. Use the Azure Pricing Calculator to estimate costs.
Which Azure services does MTC use most in Dynamics 365 projects?
Azure Functions (serverless integration), Logic Apps (workflow automation), API Management (secure APIs), Azure AD B2C (external user identity for Power Pages), AI Form Recognizer (invoice processing), Cognitive Services (AI capabilities), and Azure Sentinel (security monitoring).
Does MTC do Azure architecture and deployment?
Yes. MTC designs and deploys Azure architectures as the integration and AI layer for Dynamics 365 and Power Platform solutions. We use Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, ARM/Bicep templates, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
What is Azure AD B2C and when do I need it?
Azure AD B2C is Microsoft’s customer identity platform for external-facing applications. You need it when building a Power Pages portal or custom app with external user registration, login, MFA, or social sign-in (Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft). MTC configures Azure AD B2C for all portal implementations.
Can MTC integrate Azure AI into our Dynamics 365 environment?
Yes. MTC integrates Azure AI Form Recognizer (document processing), Azure Cognitive Services (language, vision, speech), Azure OpenAI (GPT-4 models), and Copilot Studio into Dynamics 365 workflows and Power Pages portals.
