Azure ExpressRoute and finance and operations apps

Customers can use Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute with finance and operations apps to connect to their on-premises infrastructure. This article provides the information that you need to get started with ExpressRoute.

Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute lets you create dedicated, readily available, highly reliable, low latency connections between Azure datacenters and your on-premises locations. An ExpressRoute circuit is a logical connection between a customer’s on-premises network and Microsoft cloud services through a connectivity provider. ExpressRoute is configured separately from finance and operations apps. To get an ExpressRoute circuit for your implementation, you must contact a network service provider directly. After ExpressRoute is configured, in addition to connecting to finance and operations apps, customers can connect to apps such as Microsoft 365 and supported Azure services, such as connecting to virtual machines and cloud services deployed in virtual networks. To learn more about other supported services, see ExpressRoute FAQ. Before purchasing an ExpressRoute circuit, you will need to know the following information:

  • The datacenter that your finance and operations apps are located in.
  • The region where you will be connecting from.

This information is necessary to determine whether a standard or premium offering of ExpressRoute is required.
