EPCGroups

From its base in Houston, EPCGroups works on Microsoft platforms for large organizations, and it also writes its name as EPC Group. The firm has been a Microsoft Solutions Partner since 2000, a status it holds with all six of the partner's core solution designations, and it has worked on Microsoft technology since its founding in 1997.

Power BI from governance to embedded reporting

Power BI is a central part of the practice. The firm offers consulting on how reporting should be built, proof-of-concept projects to test a use case before it is scaled up, and training so that a client's own staff can build and maintain reports. Its governance work sets the rules for who can see what and how data is shared, and its managed support keeps the environment running. Compliance is covered through a healthcare offer that addresses HIPAA requirements, and the firm also builds embedded reporting that sits inside a client's own applications, along with predictive analytics and integration with Excel.

Dynamics 365 and Business Central

The Dynamics 365 work covers enterprise resource planning services, customer relationship management, sales and customer service applications, and project service automation. It also includes consulting on Dynamics 365 Business Central, the ERP product. The firm positions its consulting as the step that connects these systems to the data and reporting work.

Teams, SharePoint and Microsoft 365 Copilot

Collaboration work covers Microsoft Teams consulting, governance of how teams and channels are set up and used, Teams voice and VoIP phone systems, and training for staff. SharePoint consulting and support sit alongside it, covering intranets and migrations. The firm also advises on Microsoft 365 Copilot, the generative AI assistant for the suite, and on Microsoft Viva products for employee learning, insights and connections.

Azure, Fabric and security monitoring

Cloud work covers Azure consulting and Azure Sentinel, the security information and event management service that monitors for threats. The firm also works on Microsoft Fabric, the data platform, with a focus on data architecture and governance so that analytics built on it stays controlled. Exchange and Office 365 consulting round out the infrastructure side of the practice.

Sectors and compliance requirements

The firm reports work for enterprise clients in healthcare, financial services, higher education, manufacturing and energy, and for federal and defense organizations. It describes engagements with some of the largest hospital systems in the United States, with asset managers and broker-dealers regulated by FINRA, and with federal civilian and Department of Defense agencies working under FedRAMP and CMMC requirements. Where a client must meet such rules, the firm presents its governance and compliance work as the part of the engagement that matters most.

Scale and senior staffing

EPC Group reports more than 11,000 enterprise engagements, and it says senior architects lead the production work. The firm presents this as an approach in which experienced architects, not junior teams, carry the design decisions through to live systems.
