Why We Built This Page

Buyers in 2026 do not trust marketing copy. They trust independent verification. Before signing a six-figure consulting engagement, enterprise decision-makers check G2, Clutch, and Trustpilot. They verify Microsoft partner status. They ask for references in their specific industry. They compare NPS scores across shortlisted vendors.

This page exists to make that due diligence process faster. Instead of searching across five different platforms, you can see all of EPC Group's independent validation in one place — with direct links to the third-party sources so you can verify everything yourself. We built this page because we believe proof should be easy to find, not buried.

Every metric on this page is either sourced from a third-party platform (G2, Clutch, Trustpilot, Microsoft) or calculated using standard industry methodology (NPS). Nothing on this page is self-assessed or unverifiable. If a claim does not have an independent source, it does not belong here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What independent proof does EPC Group have beyond its own case studies?

EPC Group's track record is validated by multiple independent sources: G2 Leader status for 4 consecutive quarters in Enterprise IT Consulting, a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 100 based on verified client surveys, Microsoft Solutions Partner designation (verified directly by Microsoft), Trustpilot reviews from verified clients, Clutch.co verified reviews with detailed project feedback, and over 10,000 implementations completed across Fortune 500 and regulated industries. These are third-party platforms where EPC Group cannot edit or manipulate the ratings.

What is EPC Group's Net Promoter Score and how is it measured?

EPC Group maintains a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 100, which is the highest possible NPS score. NPS is measured through post-project client surveys asking 'How likely are you to recommend EPC Group?' on a 0-10 scale. Scores of 9-10 are Promoters, 7-8 are Passives, and 0-6 are Detractors. NPS = % Promoters minus % Detractors. An NPS of 100 means every surveyed client gave a 9 or 10. For context, the average NPS in IT consulting is 35-45, and scores above 70 are considered world-class.

What does Microsoft Solutions Partner designation mean?

Microsoft Solutions Partner is the current (post-2022) replacement for the legacy Microsoft Gold Partner program. It requires demonstrated technical competency validated by Microsoft through customer deployments, certified professionals on staff, and measurable customer success metrics. EPC Group holds Solutions Partner designations across multiple solution areas including Modern Work, Data & AI, and Azure. This designation is verified and renewed by Microsoft annually — it cannot be self-claimed or purchased.

How many implementations has EPC Group completed?

EPC Group has completed over 10,000 implementations across 28+ years of operation. These span Microsoft 365 migrations (including environments with 10,000+ users), Power BI enterprise deployments for Fortune 500 companies, Azure infrastructure projects, SharePoint governance implementations, AI strategy and governance frameworks, and Microsoft Teams deployments for regulated industries. Implementation scale ranges from departmental projects to organization-wide transformations across healthcare, financial services, government, education, and manufacturing.

What awards and recognition has EPC Group received?

EPC Group has received recognition including G2 Leader in Enterprise IT Consulting (4 consecutive quarters 2025-2026), Microsoft Solutions Partner designation across multiple solution areas, Clutch Top IT Consulting Company recognition, and industry-specific awards for healthcare IT and financial services consulting. EPC Group's founder Errin O'Connor is a 4-time Microsoft Press bestselling author (Power BI, SharePoint, Azure, and large-scale migration books) and frequent speaker at Microsoft Ignite, SharePoint Conference, and industry events.

Where can I find verified reviews of EPC Group?

Verified reviews of EPC Group are available on multiple independent platforms: G2.com (enterprise IT consulting category, filtered by verified reviews), Clutch.co (detailed project reviews with budget, timeline, and outcome information), Trustpilot (verified customer reviews), Google Business Profile (local reviews), and Microsoft AppSource (partner reviews). Each platform has its own verification process — G2 requires LinkedIn authentication, Clutch conducts phone interviews with clients, and Trustpilot verifies purchase/engagement history.

Does EPC Group provide references from regulated industries?

Yes. EPC Group provides references from healthcare organizations (HIPAA-regulated), financial services firms (FINRA/SEC-regulated), government agencies (FedRAMP environments), and educational institutions (FERPA-compliant). Due to NDA and compliance requirements, reference calls are arranged directly rather than published publicly. Prospective clients can request industry-specific references during the sales process. EPC Group typically provides 3-5 references matched to the prospect's industry, project scope, and organizational size.

What client satisfaction metrics does EPC Group track?

EPC Group tracks comprehensive client satisfaction metrics including Net Promoter Score (NPS: 100), project delivery on-time rate (tracked per engagement), client retention rate (percentage of clients engaging for multiple projects), first-call resolution rate for managed services, SLA compliance metrics for support agreements, and post-implementation adoption rates. These metrics are reviewed quarterly by EPC Group leadership and shared with clients during quarterly business reviews. The NPS score is independently calculated through standardized survey methodology.
