Claude AI Consulting Services for the Enterprise — EPC Group

What EPC Group Delivers with Claude

EPC Group is a 29-year Microsoft Solutions Partner with all six Microsoft Solutions Partner Designations and a senior-architect AI consulting practice that has shipped Anthropic Claude implementations since the Claude beta. The Claude practice sits inside EPC Group's broader AI consulting and AI governance offering, and is delivered alongside Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure OpenAI, and the Power Platform agent stack for enterprises that need defensible cross-vendor model selection.

Claude Practice — Six Service Pillars

1. Claude integration with Microsoft 365 and SharePoint. Calling Claude from Power Automate, SharePoint Framework solutions, Teams custom messaging extensions, and Microsoft Graph-anchored agents — with Microsoft Entra identity, Purview labeling, and audit logging on every call.
2. Claude integration with Azure and Power Platform. Azure Functions and Container Apps wrappers around Claude, Power Automate connectors, Copilot Studio plugin patterns, and Dataverse-backed retrieval for grounded outputs.
3. Long-context document workloads. Multi-document policy review, M&A diligence over 200K-token corpora, regulatory mapping (HIPAA, SOC 2, FINRA, FedRAMP, CMMC, GxP), and structured extraction from contracts, SOWs, and clinical guidelines.
4. Agentic workflow design. Multi-step agents with Claude as the reasoning core, Microsoft Entra non-human identity, decision boundaries, escalation rules, and audit trails — built under the seven-layer agentic AI governance framework.
5. Prompt engineering and system-prompt design. Versioned prompt libraries, A/B canary evaluation, regression suites, and named-owner accountability for every production prompt.
6. Safety, compliance, and governance. Purview-equivalent classification of prompts and responses, immutable audit logging, data-residency posture (VPC isolation, region selection), and the architecture artifacts buyers need for security review.

When Claude vs. Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft 365 Copilot is the productivity copilot anchored to Microsoft Graph, Purview labels, and tenant policy — the daily-driver for office workers. EPC Group engages Claude where the workload demands the following:

• Longer context windows than the productivity copilot supports (200K-token document review, M&A diligence).
• Stronger reasoning for multi-step policy-bound decisioning, code review, and structured extraction.
• Cross-vendor model diversity — independent verification of a primary model output for risk decomposition.
• Specialized agentic patterns where Claude's tool-use and reasoning are differentiated.

EPC Group designs the routing layer that decides which model handles which class of request — Microsoft 365 Copilot for productivity, Claude for long-context and reasoning, Azure OpenAI for tenant-resident generative workloads, with Purview classification and audit logging on every model call.

Regulated Enterprise Patterns

• Healthcare (HIPAA-scoped). Clinical guideline mapping, multi-document chart review, prior-authorization narrative extraction — with Claude deployed via AWS Bedrock under BAA, prompts and responses Purview-classified, and Communication Compliance overlay on Copilot-adjacent surfaces.
• Financial services (SOC 2 + FINRA). Disclosure review, regulatory mapping, advisor workflow assistance — with FINRA books-and-records logging on every prompt and response.
• Federal and defense (FedRAMP-aligned). FedRAMP and CMMC 2.0 control mapping, ATO scope documentation review, and policy-bound decisioning under named-owner accountability. EPC Group's consulting delivery is FedRAMP-aligned; product status of underlying Claude deployment depends on the AWS Bedrock region and Anthropic offering selected.
• Life sciences (GxP). Protocol review, clinical study narrative generation, and regulatory submission drafting — with model-version pinning, change control, and Computer System Validation artifacts.

Engagement Model

Claude consulting engagements run on The EPC Group Lifecycle — Assess, Modernize, Govern, Operate, Enable — with fixed-fee accountability at every stage and the same senior architects accountable from costed roadmap through 24/7 operations. Assess sizes the Claude architecture in weeks. Modernize ships the integration and the agentic workflow. Govern lands Purview classification, audit logging, and the seven-layer governance framework. Operate provides 24/7 escalation on agent incidents. Enable trains the in-house team to own the prompts, the evaluations, and the governance forums after EPC Group leaves the room.
