Pick the industry that looks most like yours — every card opens a practice page tuned to that vertical's specific Dynamics 365 footprint.
Every Novasoft Business Applications engagement runs on Azure. Business Central lives in the Microsoft cloud. Dynamics 365 Finance runs on Azure data centres. Power Platform connectors run on Azure API management. Microsoft Fabric lives on OneLake — which is Azure. The question is never "do we need Azure?" The question is "is our Azure tenant governed, optimised and AI-ready?"
Most companies that move to Dynamics 365 inherit an ungoverned Azure subscription — one that was set up to run a VM three years ago and has never been touched since. No FinOps guardrails. No Defender for Cloud. No Azure Policy. No Private Endpoints for sensitive data. And no clear architecture for the AI workloads they now want to run. Novasoft's cloud engagement starts with a 5-day assessment of that estate and ends with a written architecture decision record. The Cloud Adoption Framework is not a slide deck here — it is the engagement checklist.
The result is an Azure tenant that is secure, cost-governed and ready to run Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Fabric and Copilot Studio on top of your Dynamics 365 data — from day one of the AI engagement, not after a six-month infrastructure cleanup.
Every cloud engagement starts with a free 5-day assessment. You end with a written architecture decision record and a phased migration plan — whether you sign with us or not.
Cloud readiness assessment against the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework. Current-state mapping of on-premise servers, workloads, data volumes and connectivity. Cost model for Azure vs. on-premise total cost of ownership. Written architecture decision record delivered at the end of week 1 — no obligation.
Wave-based migration using Azure Migrate. Lift-and-shift for workloads that run as-is; re-platform for workloads that benefit from PaaS. Dynamics 365 tenant moves to Azure first — the business-critical application leads the migration. Every wave has a rollback playbook before it starts.
Reserved instances for predictable Dynamics 365 workloads. Auto-scaling for peak-season traffic. Right-sizing recommendations from Azure Advisor reviewed monthly. FinOps cost-governance dashboard in Power BI — showing spend by workload, trend and budget. Typical result: 20–35% Azure cost reduction vs. un-managed lift-and-shift.
Azure Policy for guardrails. Defender for Cloud for security posture. Purview for data governance. RBAC and Private Endpoints for AI workloads. Quarterly architecture reviews against new Azure capabilities. The same team that migrated the tenant manages it under Novacare 360° — no handover to a separate managed-service vendor.
Most cloud conversations get stuck on "lift-and-shift or cloud-native?" Here is a buyer's-eye view — skim the "right for you when" line on each card, pick the closest match, and we will confirm the fit in the assessment.
Virtual machines, virtual networks, Azure Storage, Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery for disaster recovery. The fastest path from on-premise to cloud — lift-and-shift for workloads that run as-is. Novasoft configures NSGs, VNet peering, ExpressRoute or VPN for secure connectivity to your on-premise estate during and after migration.
Azure practiceApp Service, Azure SQL, Azure Functions, Azure Kubernetes Service and containerised workloads. Power Platform runs on Azure PaaS — every Power Automate flow, Power Apps environment and Power Pages portal is a PaaS workload. Custom integrations with Dynamics 365 are deployed on Functions or Logic Apps so they scale automatically without VM management overhead.
Azure practiceMicrosoft 365 and Dynamics 365 licensing, tenant provisioning, Entra ID (Azure AD) configuration, Conditional Access policies and Microsoft Defender for Office 365. Novasoft handles licensing procurement, tenant setup and the Entra ID configuration that governs who can access what — from day one of the implementation, not as a security retrofit later.
Microsoft 365 practiceAssessment of current estate, dependency mapping, wave planning, live migration execution and post-migration validation. Supports VMware, Hyper-V, physical servers and AWS/GCP workloads. Dynamics 365 data migration is treated as its own wave — with data-quality validation gates and rollback playbooks before every cutover.
Azure practiceDefender for Cloud CNAPP posture management, Microsoft Sentinel SIEM, Purview data governance, Azure Policy guardrails and RBAC. UAE North and UAE Central regions for UAE data residency (aligned with UAE data protection requirements). Private Endpoints for Azure OpenAI and Fabric so AI workloads never traverse the public internet.
Azure practiceCI/CD pipelines for Business Central AL extensions, Power Platform solution deployments, and Dynamics 365 F&O X++ packages. Azure Repos, Azure Boards and Azure Pipelines configured to mirror Microsoft's release wave cadence — so every BC or F&O update is tested in a sandbox before it reaches production. The same team builds the Dynamics 365 tenant and the DevOps pipeline around it.
Business Applications practiceAI projects fail for two reasons: bad data, or a bad cloud foundation. Novasoft sorts the Azure architecture before any AI workload goes live — so the model has governance, the data has a Lakehouse, and the agent has a secure endpoint.
Azure OpenAI runs inside the customer's own Azure subscription — data never leaves the tenant boundary. Novasoft configures Managed Identity, Private Endpoints and content-filtering policies so the model is secure before the first query. Grounded in Dynamics 365 data via Fabric and the Dataverse connector. Azure OpenAI Practitioner Certified delivery team.
AI & Copilot practiceMicrosoft Fabric is a SaaS data analytics platform that runs on Azure. OneLake is the single storage layer. Novasoft provisions the Fabric workspace, sets up Synapse Link from Business Central and F&O, builds the Lakehouse and configures Direct Lake Power BI workspaces. The AI and analytics teams use the same data — no copies, no conflicts.
Analytics & Automation practiceCopilot Studio agents run on Azure and connect to Dynamics 365 via Dataverse. Novasoft configures the Azure tenant so agents have the right Managed Identity, the right scope of permissions and the right content filters — so a finance agent can only see finance data and an HR agent can only see HR data. RBAC at the agent level, not just the app level.
AI & Copilot practiceAzure AI Foundry (formerly Azure ML Studio) for custom model training on Dynamics 365 data — demand forecasting, risk scoring, churn prediction. Azure AI Document Intelligence for invoice, contract and ID extraction at scale. RAG pipelines grounded in SharePoint and Dataverse knowledge bases. Every custom model deployment starts with a security review against the Azure AI governance framework.
AI & Copilot practiceCloud ROI metrics are easy to manipulate. These are not. Each one is a thing a Novasoft customer used to worry about every week — and stopped worrying about after Azure go-live.
FinOps right-sizing reduces Azure spend by 20–35% vs. un-managed lift-and-shift. Reserved instances lock in the discount on Dynamics 365 compute. Auto-scaling handles peak-season traffic without pre-provisioned buffer capacity sitting idle the other 11 months. Monthly Power BI spend dashboard so finance can see the cloud cost the same day the invoice arrives.
99.9% Azure SLA on Dynamics 365 workloads. Novasoft-managed Defender for Cloud with automatic vulnerability remediation for low-severity findings. Azure Site Recovery for disaster-recovery scenarios. Automated failover testing twice a year so the runbook is not fiction. The same team that built your BC tenant monitors the Azure subscription it runs on.
PaaS and SaaS layers remove the OS patching, hardware provisioning and capacity-planning burden from internal IT. Azure Policy enforces tagging, SKU limits and region restrictions automatically — no manual governance reviews. The IT team stops being a bottleneck and starts being a strategic resource.
Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Fabric and Copilot Studio all require a properly governed Azure tenant. Private Endpoints. Managed Identity. Entra ID conditional access. A Lakehouse with a proper data model. Get the foundation right once — in the cloud engagement — so the AI engagement starts from a solid base, not a infrastructure rescue project.
Novasoft delivers Azure cloud engagements from four delivery centres — UAE, Saudi Arabia, India and the USA. The same Microsoft Solutions Partner team handles the cloud migration and the Dynamics 365 application regardless of where the customer sits. Saudi Arabia projects run through the local Novasoft entity for on-site work; UAE, India and USA cover remote and hybrid delivery across the Gulf, Indian-subcontinent and North-American business hours.
A hyperscaler account team will provision your Azure subscription and walk away. A generic cloud consultancy will migrate your VMs and hand you a bill. Neither of them knows what is inside your Dynamics 365 tenant, why the BC integration needs a Private Endpoint, or how to configure Managed Identity so Azure OpenAI can read your Business Central data without storing credentials anywhere. That knowledge gap is where cloud projects fail.
Novasoft builds the Dynamics 365 application and the Azure infrastructure together — same team, same architecture, same accountability. An active Microsoft Solutions Partner — Business Applications credential refreshed every year. Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines built alongside the BC AL code. A clean hand-over into Novacare 360° for ongoing Azure managed services. One contract covering cloud and application — no finger-pointing between vendors.
Edited excerpts from Novasoft customer references on cloud and Azure migrations. Every reference is contactable on request during the cloud assessment.
Our Azure migration removed a dependency on three on-premise servers that had been a single point of failure for five years. The same Novasoft team that migrated us to Azure handles our BC tenant — one call resolves everything.
Defender for Cloud and the Azure Security posture review gave us the evidence our group auditors needed. We went from a red finding to a clean report in one quarter. The FinOps dashboard in Power BI also saved us 28% on our Azure bill month one.
Fabric on Azure replaced our on-premise data warehouse in six weeks. Power BI now runs Direct Lake on our Business Central data — no batch job, no morning delay. We saw real-time margin data for the first time in 12 years of trading.

Azure practiceAzure Copilot in the Azure Portal — natural-language infrastructure management, cost-optimisation suggestions and security-finding summaries. Novasoft configures Azure Copilot access as part of every Entra ID and RBAC setup so the right engineers have access from day one.
AI & CopilotThe most expensive cloud mistake we see is a company that bought Azure before they understood what they were going to run on it. The architecture review is not optional — it is the engagement. Every Novasoft cloud engagement starts with a 5-day assessment and ends with a written architecture decision record. The cloud is the foundation; the workload is the reason. Both have to be designed together — by the same team — or the cloud will be forever a liability, not an asset.
