If you had faced any trouble of copying a new company (Timeout the process after around 1 hour time) in a Azure hosted DB, then you might want to look at the CU Update 14 for Dynamics NAV 2016 and CU1 for Dynamics NAV 2017.
In the current CU it will fix the the Import-NAVData cmdlet and it will require platform update.
This will not fix the issue 100% but will fix half of the problem. Rest of the issue (Copy Company via Dynamics NAV) will be fixed most probably in the next CU update.
