Frequently Asked Questions

Does EPC Group offer fixed-price consulting?

Yes. EPC Group offers fixed-fee accelerator packages for Power BI CoE, SharePoint migration, Azure data platform, Microsoft 365 governance, AI readiness, and security audits. Prices start at $15,000 with defined deliverables, timelines, and outcomes.

What is a Power BI QuickStart?

EPC Group's Power BI QuickStart is a 6-week fixed-fee engagement ($15K-$35K) that delivers 1-2 production dashboards, a data architecture review, governance recommendations, and a 90-day roadmap. It's designed for organizations that need fast, visible results without a multi-month engagement.

How fast can EPC Group deliver?

Most accelerator packages deliver results in 2-6 weeks. Power BI QuickStart: 6 weeks. SharePoint Migration Assessment: 2 weeks. AI Readiness Assessment: 2-4 weeks. M365 Security Audit: 2-3 weeks. Azure Data Platform Fast-Track: 4-6 weeks.

What if my project grows beyond the accelerator scope?

Accelerators are designed as entry points. If your project needs expand, we provide a detailed expansion proposal with the same fixed-fee transparency. Many clients start with a $15K-$25K accelerator and expand to $50K-$200K implementations — but only after proving value first.

Are accelerator packages good for enterprise organizations?

Absolutely. Most of our accelerator clients are 500-50,000+ employee enterprises in healthcare, finance, and government. The fixed-fee model actually appeals MORE to enterprise procurement because it provides budget certainty and reduces vendor risk.

Industry Context: 2026 Notes for Blog Fixed Fee Accelerator Packages Microsoft Consulting

EPC Group 29-year Microsoft consulting heritage matters specifically because Microsoft platform decisions today are layered on top of 25 years of architectural choices: Active Directory schema decisions from 2005 affect Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policy design in 2026; SharePoint 2003 information architecture decisions affect Copilot grounding quality in 2026. The firms that can navigate that depth (fewer than a dozen Microsoft Solutions Partners in North America) have a structural advantage on enterprise Microsoft migrations.

Microsoft Solutions Partner status (six designations: Data & AI, Modern Work, Infrastructure, Security, Digital & App Innovation, Business Applications) replaced the legacy Microsoft Gold Partner program in 2022. EPC Group held Gold Partner status from 2003 to 2022 (the oldest continuous Gold Partner in North America) and currently holds all six Solutions Partner designations; a credentialing footprint shared by fewer than 50 firms globally and typically used by Microsoft field teams as a vetting gate for enterprise Customer 0 nominations and named-account engagements.

Decision factors EPC Group evaluates

  • Vendor consolidation analysis
  • Compliance and governance posture review
  • Enterprise architecture roadmap
  • Cost optimization and licensing audit
  • Microsoft platform capability assessment
