Two ways to add Microsoft capacity -
without the hiring grind.
Hire Microsoft-certified specialists on demand or hand us the whole environment to run. You get senior capability and momentum without the cost and risk of permanent headcount.
Why Teams Need Flexible Microsoft Capacity
Hiring takes months; your roadmap won't wait.
Hiring Delays
Open roles take months to fill while work keeps piling up
Talent Gaps
Hard-to-find Microsoft specialists slow down delivery
Cost Pressure
Permanent headcount is expensive for fluctuating demand
Scale Constraints
Growth outpaces internal IT capacity and coverage
Choose the Model That Fits
Staff augmentation, dedicated team, or managed services.
Staff Augmentation

- Microsoft-certified engineers embedded in your team

Dedicated Team

Managed Services

- Monitoring, administration, security, and support
- SLA-backed service tiers

What Our Clients Say
“Al Rafay Consulting was an outstanding partner in developing our internal pipeline tracker.
