Why the REFRACT Platform
Most document platforms were built for simplicity; the REFRACT Platform was built for trust. That distinction changes every architectural decision.
Your documents, templates, assets, and audit records never leave your environment. The REFRACT Platform operates entirely within your tenant boundary, with no vendor-managed servers in your document lifecycle.
Accessibility is generated at creation time. Section 508 structural tags, PDF/UA compliance, and navigable TOC are properties of the rendering engine, not applied as a post-processing step after generation.
Integrity is established with SHA-256 hash embedding and cryptographic re-sealing at signature completion. Verification is reproducible from the document itself, not from a cloud lookup.
Unlike point solutions stitched together with integrations, the REFRACT Platform shares a single data model and audit ledger across rendering, governance, signing, delivery, lifecycle, and compliance.
Platform Positioning
Governance Without Coupling
Your Dynamics 365 or Business Central stays the system of record. REFRACT doesn't touch your transactions. Instead, it wraps document processes with approval routing, compliance controls, and tamper-evident audit evidence that operations teams see inside Dynamics 365 and compliance teams can present in an audit.
Augment, Not Replace
The REFRACT Platform augments enterprise systems with governance-grade orchestration, validation workflows, approvals, secure delivery, evidence generation, lifecycle management, and auditability while preserving transactional authority within the source system.
Native to Microsoft 365
The REFRACT Platform extends Microsoft business applications with deterministic document rendering, governance workflows, secure dispatch, immutable audit evidence, and lifecycle orchestration.

Time to Value
Finance & operations teams get working approval workflows in weeks. IT teams get tenant-sovereign infrastructure they approve on day one.
Why REFRACT deploys differently
Rather than introducing new infrastructure, REFRACT Platform provisions everything it needs directly inside your existing Azure, SharePoint, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365 environment. Your IT and security teams can evaluate, approve, and trust it on day one, because it runs inside boundaries they already control.
No new database
Uses your existing Dataverse and SharePoint
No portal to host
Lifecycle Workspace is a native SharePoint extension
No identity system
Permissions inherit from your Microsoft Entra ID tenant
SharePoint libraries and configuration are created automatically during Dispatcher deployment.
Dispatcher and Processor are deployed directly into your Azure subscription. No vendor-managed servers in your document lifecycle.
Templates, field mappings, and integrations for Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and SharePoint are loaded and ready to use.
Generate your first document and open the Lifecycle Workspace with full audit visibility, starting on day one.
Designed for Rapid Adoption
REFRACT Platform includes pre-configured templates, field mappings, and integration packs for supported Microsoft business applications. Most organizations begin with the included templates and mappings, then tailor branding, document layouts, and workflow rules to match their processes.
Your first document should be generated on day one. Refinement and optimisation can happen over time.
Built for regulated environments
Every REFRACT Platform product is designed to operate within regulated compliance frameworks, not as a post-processing retrofit, but as a property of generation.
Compliance coverage reflects architectural design intent. Refract Logic LLC does not hold independent certifications. Actual compliance status depends on your deployment configuration, tenant environment, and applicable regulatory scope.
Industries
The REFRACT Platform was designed from first principles for teams where document trust, accessibility, and auditability are non-negotiable requirements.
REFRACT Platform runs entirely within infrastructure you control.
Microsoft 365 Native
Every REFRACT Platform runtime executes inside your Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 environment, with no external document processing or document storage platform involved in the document lifecycle.
Generate, store, and manage documents directly inside SharePoint libraries, with metadata, content types, and column mapping included.

IT and security get compliance controls and audit trails that operate inside the boundaries they already control.
Don't see your business system?
REFRACT PLATFORM™ is built on a source-system agnostic architecture, allowing organizations to integrate additional ERP, CRM, and custom business applications through native source adapters.
Architectural Decisions
Every architectural trade-off in the REFRACT Platform was made deliberately. Here is what we chose, and why it works in your favor.
Customer-Owned Infrastructure
REFRACT Platform never holds custody of your documents, audit records, or templates. Everything deploys and persists inside your Azure subscription. No shared vendor storage, no data egress, no processing outside your tenant boundary.
Microsoft-Optimized Architecture
REFRACT Platform is engineered specifically for Azure, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, and Microsoft 365. That is a deliberate design decision — not a constraint. Deep native integration with the platform your organization already runs is unavailable to platforms that try to cover every cloud equally.
Compliance-Ready Foundation
REFRACT Platform provides the controls: governed workflows, immutable audit evidence, tenant-sovereign storage, and accessibility at generation time. Your compliance team configures and verifies in your tenant. Your auditors certify against your requirements. The architecture is ready — the certification is yours.
Accessibility by Design
PDF/UA structural tags, Section 508 navigability, and correct reading order are generated at document creation by the rendering engine — not applied in a post-processing remediation pass. Accessibility is a property of generation.
API-First Integration
Every REFRACT Platform capability is available via REST API. Native Microsoft integrations are built on the same API layer available to any application — ERP, CRM, or custom system. If your workflow originates outside Microsoft, the governed document lifecycle is still reachable.
Deterministic Rendering
The rendering engine produces identical output from identical input every time — no floating layouts, no environment-dependent drift between deployments. Every document is reproducible and auditable, making validation, testing, and regulatory review significantly easier.

Common Questions
Honest answers to the questions that come up in every serious evaluation.
Company
Refract Logic is a document infrastructure company building the compliance, accessibility, and governance layer for enterprise document workflows.
We believe organizations generating business and regulated documents should be able to prove those documents are accurate, accessible, and tamper-evident, without relying on external document processing platforms.
REFRACT Platform is how we deliver that promise: six products, one lifecycle, customer-controlled document execution.
Founding principles
Every product defaults to customer-controlled document execution and data ownership. We build infrastructure that your organization governs, not infrastructure that takes custody of your documents.
Compliance isn't a checkbox; it's evidence. We build systems where document integrity, approvals, signatures, and lifecycle events can be independently verified from the artifact itself.
Section 508 and PDF/UA are not retrofit features. When accessibility is required, REFRACT Platform applies accessibility controls directly within the rendering pipeline so compliant documents are produced by design.
Regulated teams shouldn't have to choose between governance and productivity. We design platforms where compliance, developer experience, and operational performance work together as one system.
Our story
The team behind Refract Logic brings more than 25 years of combined hands-on engineering and architecture experience across Microsoft business applications and enterprise document systems.
Over years of building solutions across ERP, CRM, approvals, and compliance-driven workloads, we repeatedly saw organizations struggle with external document dependencies, fragmented lifecycle visibility, accessibility requirements, and background processing complexity.
We built REFRACT Platform to take a different approach. REFRACT Platform executes inside customer-controlled Microsoft environments using Azure and Microsoft 365 services organizations already trust and govern. By combining deterministic document generation, workflow governance, electronic signatures, secure delivery, audit evidence, and lifecycle visibility, we designed a platform that keeps document execution closer to business systems and operational controls.
Built for organizations that
demand accuracy, compliance, and trust.
