Frequently Asked Questions

What Azure consulting services does EPC Group offer?

EPC Group offers Azure cloud migration, infrastructure optimization, Azure AD/Entra ID configuration, security implementation, hybrid cloud architecture, Azure AI services, and managed cloud services. We specialize in regulated industries requiring HIPAA, SOC 2, and FedRAMP compliance.

How much does Azure consulting cost?

Azure consulting ranges from $75K-$400K depending on scope. Cloud readiness assessments start at $15K-$25K, migration projects run $75K-$200K, and full Azure architecture redesigns with security and compliance cost $200K-$400K. EPC Group provides fixed-price options.

Does EPC Group work with Azure Government (GCC/GCC High)?

Yes. EPC Group deploys solutions in Azure Government, GCC, and GCC High environments for federal, state, and local government clients. Our consultants hold appropriate clearances and follow FedRAMP Moderate and High baselines.

How long does an Azure cloud migration take?

A typical Azure migration takes 3-9 months depending on complexity. A lift-and-shift of 50-100 workloads takes 3-4 months, while a full re-architecture with compliance frameworks takes 6-9 months. EPC Group uses Azure Migrate and custom tools for assessment and execution.

Azure Architecture: 2026 Considerations for Azure Security Center Pricing And Features Monitoring Cloud Computing Resources

FinOps in Azure 2026 is no longer optional at any meaningful scale: Azure Reservations (1-yr or 3-yr commits) deliver 30-72% savings on predictable VM workloads, Azure Savings Plans extend the discount to compute portability across instance families, and Azure Hybrid Benefit lets BYOL Windows Server and SQL Server licenses cut compute costs by an additional 40-49%. Typical Azure cost-optimization engagements return 25-40% of annual Azure spend within 90 days.

Azure Confidential Computing (DCadsv5/ECasv5 series) is the privileged-data play for 2026: AMD SEV-SNP and Intel TDX enclaves protect data IN USE (in addition to at-rest and in-transit encryption), enabling regulated workloads (clinical analytics with PHI, financial services M&A modeling, federal IL5) to run on shared Azure infrastructure with cryptographic attestation that the host operator cannot inspect the data.

Decision factors EPC Group evaluates

Reservation + Savings Plan portfolio for predictable workloads
Azure Policy initiative assignment for Azure Government readiness
Confidential Computing enclave evaluation for regulated workloads
Enterprise-scale landing zone bootstrap via Bicep/Terraform
Microsoft Defender for Cloud benchmark alignment
