Managed Analytics Services: Strategy, Build, and Run for Microsoft Enterprise Analytics
Why Managed Analytics Matters
Most consulting firms build your analytics environment and walk away. EPC Group takes a different approach: Strategy → Build → Run. We architect your Power BI, Azure, and Microsoft 365 analytics platform, then stay to operate, optimize, and evolve it.
This isn't just "help desk support." Managed analytics means your environment is continuously monitored for performance, security, and governance compliance — by the same senior architects who designed it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are managed analytics services?
Managed analytics services provide ongoing, outsourced management of your analytics environment. EPC Group monitors, maintains, optimizes, and continuously improves your Power BI, Azure, and Microsoft 365 analytics infrastructure — so your team focuses on insights, not infrastructure.
How much do managed analytics services cost?
EPC Group offers managed analytics tiers starting at $8,000/month for environment monitoring and governance, $12,000/month for full operational management with SLAs, and $20,000/month for comprehensive managed services including strategic advisory and quarterly architecture reviews.

Can you manage Power BI Premium capacity?
Yes. EPC Group manages Power BI Premium and Fabric capacity for enterprises, including capacity monitoring, throttling prevention, cost optimization, workspace governance, dataset refresh scheduling, and performance tuning. We reduce capacity overspend by an average of 20-30%.
Do you offer 24/7 support?
Yes. EPC Group provides 24/7/365 monitoring and incident response for managed analytics clients. Our US-based architects — the same people who built your environment — handle escalations. No offshore handoffs, no reading from scripts.
What's the difference between managed services and consulting?
Consulting is project-based: we build it and hand it over. Managed services is lifecycle-based: we build it, run it, optimize it, and evolve it continuously. Managed services creates a long-term partnership where EPC Group is accountable for ongoing outcomes, not just delivery.
