A Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) solution is used to provide your developers and application vendors a single interface to interact with customer identities. This essentially means that all of your customer facing applications can leverage the same authentication platform using open standards such as OpenID Connect, rather than needing to implement authentication from scratch, causing a fractured customer experience.

Your applications will interact with the Azure AD B2C, while Azure AD B2C will take care of rendering a user interface, integrating with external identity providers, storing passwords (when applicable) and calling external services for data aggregation or registration, such as CRM for customer identifier.
