Top SharePoint Consulting Company: Why EPC Group Leads in 2026

28+ years, 5,200+ deployments, Microsoft Solutions Partner, G2 Leader — what sets the top SharePoint consulting company apart from the rest.

Quick Answer: The best SharePoint consulting company combines deep Microsoft partnership credentials, industry-specific compliance expertise, a proven implementation methodology, and a track record of enterprise-scale deployments. EPC Group has completed 5,200+ SharePoint deployments since 1997, holds Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, and specializes in regulated industries including healthcare, finance, and government.

What Defines a Top SharePoint Consulting Company

Choosing a SharePoint consulting company is one of the most consequential technology decisions an enterprise makes. SharePoint is not just a document management tool — it is the collaboration and content management backbone for the entire Microsoft 365 ecosystem. A poor implementation creates technical debt that compounds for years: ungoverned content sprawl, security gaps from broken permissions, frustrated users who abandon the platform, and wasted licensing costs.

The market for SharePoint consulting has consolidated significantly since 2020. Many smaller firms have been acquired or have pivoted away from SharePoint. At the same time, the complexity of modern SharePoint implementations has increased dramatically with the addition of Microsoft Viva, Copilot, Power Platform integration, and advanced compliance capabilities. This means the gap between experienced SharePoint consulting companies and generalist IT firms has never been wider.

Enterprise organizations need a partner that brings not just technical SharePoint knowledge but strategic understanding of how SharePoint fits into the broader Microsoft 365 ecosystem, industry-specific compliance requirements, and organizational change management. That combination of depth is rare.

EPC Group: 28+ Years of SharePoint Excellence

EPC Group has been implementing SharePoint since its earliest versions, starting with SharePoint Team Services in 2001 and evolving through every major release: SharePoint 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, and SharePoint Online. This longevity matters because many enterprise environments still run hybrid configurations with legacy components, and understanding the full history of the platform is critical for migration and modernization projects.

Microsoft Solutions Partner Credentials

EPC Group holds Microsoft Solutions Partner designations that represent the highest tier of Microsoft partnership. These credentials require demonstrating verified customer success, certified technical staff, and annual performance benchmarks. Unlike self-proclaimed "Microsoft experts," Solutions Partner designations are independently verified by Microsoft and require ongoing qualification.

Our team includes Microsoft Certified professionals across SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Azure, Power Platform, and security. This breadth means that a SharePoint implementation is never siloed — our consultants understand how SharePoint integrates with Teams, Power BI, Power Automate, Copilot, and Azure services to deliver maximum business value.

The Big 4 consulting firms (Deloitte, PwC, EY, Accenture) handle SharePoint as one of hundreds of technology practices. Their engagements are staffed with junior consultants managed by senior partners who rarely participate in delivery. EPC Group takes the opposite approach — senior consultants with deep SharePoint expertise lead every engagement, and our CEO Errin O'Connor personally oversees strategic accounts.

Small boutique firms offer personalized service but often lack the depth for enterprise-scale deployments. When a boutique firm encounters a complex hybrid migration, compliance requirement, or performance issue they have not seen before, there is no bench to draw from. EPC Group combines the attention of a boutique with the depth and scale of a large practice.

SharePoint Consulting Services We Deliver

EPC Group's SharePoint consulting practice covers the full lifecycle of SharePoint and Microsoft 365 collaboration:

  • SharePoint Implementation — Full lifecycle deployment from discovery through go-live with governance and change management built in
  • Intranet Development — Custom SharePoint intranets with SPFx web parts, Viva Connections, and responsive design
  • Migration Services — Content migration from legacy SharePoint, file shares, Box, Google Drive, and other platforms to SharePoint Online
  • Governance and Compliance — Information governance frameworks, retention policies, sensitivity labels, DLP, and regulatory compliance
  • Power Platform Integration — Power Automate workflows, Power Apps custom forms, and Power BI dashboard integration
  • Copilot Readiness — Preparing SharePoint environments for Microsoft 365 Copilot with proper governance, metadata, and permissions
  • Managed Services — Ongoing administration, optimization, and support for SharePoint and Microsoft 365

Industry Expertise That Matters

Generic SharePoint consulting fails in regulated industries. A consultant who does not understand HIPAA cannot properly configure information barriers and DLP policies for healthcare organizations. A consultant unfamiliar with FedRAMP cannot guide a government agency through GCC High configuration. EPC Group's industry expertise spans healthcare (HIPAA, HITECH, FDA compliance for document management and clinical collaboration), financial services (SOC 2, SEC, FINRA compliance for investment banks, insurance, and asset management), government (FedRAMP, NIST, GCC/GCC High for federal, state, and local agencies), education (FERPA compliance, student information governance), and energy (NERC CIP compliance for utilities and critical infrastructure).

The EPC Group Methodology

Our SharePoint consulting methodology is built on three principles that drive every engagement. First, governance-first design: every implementation starts with governance architecture before any technical build begins. Second, measurable outcomes: we define success metrics during discovery and measure against them at 30, 60, and 90 days post-deployment. Third, knowledge transfer: our goal is to make your internal team self-sufficient, not dependent on ongoing consulting. We train your admins, site owners, and power users to maintain and evolve the environment.

Client Success Metrics

Across our 5,200+ SharePoint deployments, EPC Group consistently delivers measurable results. Our clients see an average 73% user adoption rate within 90 days (compared to the industry average of 35%), 40% reduction in time spent searching for documents, 60% decrease in email attachments as users shift to SharePoint collaboration, 85% compliance audit pass rate on first attempt for regulated industry clients, and a 30% reduction in IT support tickets related to file sharing and collaboration within 6 months of deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes EPC Group the top SharePoint consulting company?

EPC Group has 28+ years of Microsoft ecosystem expertise with over 5,200 SharePoint deployments completed. We hold Microsoft Solutions Partner designations and have been recognized as a G2 Leader in SharePoint consulting. Our founder Errin O'Connor is the author of four Microsoft Press bestselling books on SharePoint, Power BI, Azure, and enterprise migrations. We serve Fortune 500 clients across healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (SOC 2), and government (FedRAMP) with compliance-first methodologies that larger firms cannot match for depth.

How much does SharePoint consulting cost?

SharePoint consulting rates range from $175-$400 per hour depending on the seniority and specialization of the consultant. Strategy and architecture engagements typically run $50,000-$150,000 over 4-8 weeks. Full implementation projects range from $100,000-$500,000+ depending on scope, user count, migration complexity, and compliance requirements. Ongoing managed services run $5,000-$25,000 per month. The key to managing costs is proper scoping during the discovery phase — EPC Group provides fixed-price proposals after a thorough assessment so there are no surprises.

How do I evaluate SharePoint consulting companies?

Evaluate SharePoint consulting companies across six criteria: Microsoft partnership level (Solutions Partner designations indicate verified expertise), industry experience (consultants who understand your regulatory environment avoid costly compliance mistakes), deployment track record (ask for references from organizations similar to your size and industry), methodology (structured implementation frameworks reduce risk), team depth (firms with 50+ SharePoint consultants can staff your project without delays), and post-implementation support (ongoing managed services ensure long-term success). Avoid firms that position SharePoint as a generic IT project rather than a business transformation initiative.

What is the difference between SharePoint Online and SharePoint Server consulting?

SharePoint Online consulting focuses on Microsoft 365 cloud configuration, tenant setup, governance, Teams integration, Viva Connections, and Power Platform integration. SharePoint Server (on-premises) consulting covers farm architecture, SQL Server configuration, network infrastructure, patching, and capacity planning. In 2026, approximately 85% of new SharePoint engagements are SharePoint Online or hybrid. However, organizations in defense, government (classified), and some financial services still require on-premises or hybrid expertise. EPC Group maintains deep expertise in both environments and specializes in hybrid scenarios and cloud migration from SharePoint 2016/2019 to SharePoint Online.

Can a SharePoint consulting company help with Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Yes — and this is increasingly the primary reason organizations engage SharePoint consultants in 2026. Microsoft 365 Copilot relies heavily on SharePoint as its content source. Organizations with poor SharePoint governance (inconsistent permissions, ungoverned content, missing metadata) get poor Copilot results and risk data leakage. A SharePoint consulting company like EPC Group prepares your environment for Copilot by implementing proper information architecture, sensitivity labels, retention policies, and content governance. This Copilot readiness assessment is now a standard part of EPC Group's SharePoint consulting engagements.
