Announcing Dynamics 365 Contact Center—a cloud contact center powered by Microsoft Copilot. Learn more
For the Digital Contact Center Platform, we provide reference architectures to help organizations get started with a contact center with Microsoft services.
Each reference architecture includes a diagram to illustrate the different components, and each main component is then explained in the subsequent Dataflow section. Choose the magnifier icon for a more detailed view of each diagram.
In all Digital Contact Center Platform architectures, wherever possible, we assume that all or most solution components use the core capabilities of Microsoft Azure, including, but not limited to, compute, storage, identity, security, management, and compliance.
