EPC Group fixed-fee accelerators — thirteen scoped Microsoft and Power BI offers
Last updated by Errin O'Connor, Founder & Chief AI Architect, EPC Group
Start here by size and situation
The accelerators are grouped by the situation they answer rather than by product. An organization that has never had its estate assessed starts with an assessment; one that already runs the platform and needs it governed starts with the controls; migrations, landing zones and Centers of Excellence are multi-wave programmes. The organizations EPC Group serves, and the ones it does not, are set out on the fit page.
Start with an assessment
A first external look at one estate — Copilot readiness, data governance, Power BI health, AI spend — before any build is committed.
Microsoft · 4 weeks single-tenant; 6 multi-tenant or hybrid
Copilot Readiness Assessment
Whether the tenant can take Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses now, and what has to be fixed first.
Microsoft · 4–6 weeks
Data Governance Assessment
Where the organization's sensitive data actually lives, how it should be classified, and what Purview should enforce first.
Microsoft · 30 days
AI Portfolio and ROI Assessment
Which AI spend to keep, re-scope or stop, measured against success criteria that exist in writing.
Power BI · 3 weeks
Power BI Health Check and Governance Blueprint
What is actually wrong with the Power BI estate — governance, capacity, model quality, security, adoption — and what to fix first.
Stand up the controls
Governance frameworks, security hardening and quick-starts for organizations that already run the platform and need it governed.
Power BI · 4–6 weeks
Power BI Quick-Start
Whether to start Power BI on a governed model from day one instead of growing a sprawl that has to be cleaned up later.
Microsoft · 3–4 weeks
Microsoft 365 Security Hardening
Which Microsoft 365 security controls to enforce tenant-wide now, in what order, without breaking the business.
Microsoft · 4–6 weeks
Microsoft 365 Governance Framework
Which Teams and SharePoint governance policies to enforce so sprawl stops growing — and how to retire what already sprawled.
Microsoft · 6–10 weeks
AI Governance Framework
What the organization's AI governance operating model is — risk assessment, policies, technical controls and training — before Copilot and custom AI go into production.
Power BI · 4–6 weeks
Enterprise Power BI Performance and DirectQuery Tuning
Why the critical Power BI models are slow or failing, and which changes fix them without buying more capacity.
Run a multi-wave programme
Migrations, landing zones and Centers of Excellence delivered in waves across a large estate.
Microsoft · 4–8 weeks
SharePoint Migration Accelerator
What the SharePoint migration will actually involve — scope, information architecture, permissions and sequence — before the full programme is committed.
Microsoft · 4–6 weeks
Azure Landing Zone
What the organization's first governed Azure environment should look like before workloads land in it.
Power BI · 12 weeks
Power BI Center of Excellence Accelerator
How the Power BI function is owned, staffed and run so governance and adoption survive consultant departure.
Power BI · 12–36 weeks, by legacy footprint
Legacy BI to Power BI Migration Factory
How to move a legacy BI estate to Power BI and Microsoft Fabric wave by wave, retiring what is dormant and modernizing what matters.
How accelerators are priced and run
Fixed fee, quoted after a one-hour call with a senior architect. EPC Group does not publish price ranges. The scoping call is run by the architect who would lead the work. The fee, the deliverables and the acceptance criteria are written into the Statement of Work; scope outside it is a change order, written and approved before the work starts. The change-control, escalation and acceptance rules every accelerator runs on are the ones in the Engagement Charter, and the documented engagements behind them are in the case studies and the Evidence Center.
Frequently Asked Questions
A fixed set of deliverables, a stated duration and a fixed fee. The scope is written into the Statement of Work before work starts, and anything outside it is a change order under the Engagement Charter. Open-ended advisory and multi-year programmes are scoped differently.
EPC Group does not publish price ranges. Every accelerator is quoted as a fixed fee after a one-hour call with the architect who would lead it, because the fee depends on the estate — tenant size, model count, legacy footprint — and a published band would be wrong for most buyers.
If the estate has never been assessed, one of the assessments — Copilot readiness, data governance, Power BI health check or the AI portfolio review — produces the evidence the next step needs. Organizations that already run the platform start with the governance or hardening offers; migrations and Centers of Excellence are multi-wave programmes.
The senior architect named on the Statement of Work designs and leads the delivery and attends every steering meeting, as the Engagement Charter sets out. An engagement lead is added where the program size warrants it.
Book the scoping call
One hour with the architect who would lead the engagement; the fixed fee follows in writing.
