Microsoft Strategy: 2026 Considerations for Comparisons
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 the oldest continuous Microsoft Gold Partner status in North America from 2016 until Microsoft retired the program in 2022, and currently holds the core 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.
