The story
Protech has spent four decades serving associations, evolving from a general AMS provider to become the first and leading AMS built on Microsoft Dynamics 365. After being acquired by Togetherwork in 2021, Protech expanded its embedded-finance surface with the launch of Protech Payments — a Stripe-powered integrated payment processing product exclusive to Protech customers. The strategic direction is deeper vertical integration of payments, e-commerce, and accounting inside the Microsoft Dynamics 365 stack for associations.
