Opening answer. In October 2018 a global law firm countersigned a statement of work with EPC Group for its move from SharePoint Server 2010 on premises to a new SharePoint Online solution. The aim was better internal communication and collaboration and higher employee productivity. EPC Group's role:
- analysis, design and best-practice recommendations for firm-wide communication, collaboration and document management sites
- mentoring the firm's staff in building a refreshed SharePoint interface for users around the world
- recommending a search solution and further features
- advising on the firm's own content migration with a third-party migration tool, including an assessment of the existing environment for gaps and remediation first
- post-deployment support
Disclosure. This is an EPC-reported anonymized engagement summary. The client is not named. The countersigned statement of work is retained privately and is not published in the Evidence Center, so this account is outside the Evidence Center's documented-engagement counts. Every engagement fact below is taken from that document.
Verification class
Contracted — countersigned (EPC-reported; documents private). A director at the firm signed the statement of work in October 2018. No migration record, acceptance or outcome measurement is cited or claimed.

Approach and artifacts
Mentor, don't just deliver. The firm's staff build the new interface, with EPC Group designing alongside and mentoring them.
Let the client run the migration, with expert back-up. The firm moves its own content with a migration tool it has chosen. EPC Group's job is to find gaps and remediation needs in the old environment first and to support the move.
