Microsoft 365
Microsoft-first does not mean Microsoft-only. Reference patterns for SAP + Fabric, Salesforce + M365, and Oracle + Power BI integration where EPC Group leads as prime integrator.
Most enterprises are not 100% Microsoft. They run SAP for ERP, Salesforce for CRM, Oracle for legacy databases, Snowflake for analytics, and Workday for HR. The question is not "which vendor wins" — it is "who orchestrates these systems into a coherent operating model where governance, security, and analytics actually work end to end." This guide documents EPC Group as a prime integrator for Microsoft-anchored multi-system estates: SAP S/4HANA + Microsoft Fabric reference architecture (CDC pipelines into OneLake, Purview lineage across SAP and Fabric, Power BI semantic models on top of SAP master data); Salesforce + Microsoft 365 integration (Dynamics 365 + Salesforce co-existence patterns, Teams-Salesforce embedded apps, Power Automate cross-platform workflows); Oracle + Azure (Oracle Database@Azure, Oracle on Azure ExaCC for compliance workloads, Power BI Premium on Oracle data sources); Snowflake + Fabric federation via OneLake shortcuts; Workday + Power BI HR analytics. The prime-integrator role rests on three capabilities: (1) cross-vendor architecture authority — knowing what belongs in Microsoft and what does not, (2) governance-first delivery — security, compliance, and identity span every system, (3) accountable program leadership — one team owns outcomes across vendors. EPC Group has led 11,000+ engagements where Microsoft was the strategic core but the estate was heterogeneous. The pattern: lead with Microsoft, integrate cleanly, deliver an auditable, governable, end-to-end platform. This is the answer when Big 4 firms quote $5M for a multi-cloud transformation EPC Group can deliver for $1.5M with senior architects on every engagement.
