What EPC Group Delivers with Gemini
EPC Group is a 29-year Microsoft Solutions Partner with a senior-architect AI consulting practice that has shipped Google Gemini implementations since the Gemini beta. The Gemini practice sits inside the broader AI consulting and AI governance offering, and is delivered alongside Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and the Power Platform agent stack for enterprises that need defensible cross-vendor model selection.
Gemini Practice — Six Service Pillars
- Gemini integration with Google Cloud Vertex AI. Production deployment of Gemini Pro and Flash with VPC Service Controls, customer-managed encryption keys, and tenant-resident data residency.
- Microsoft-stack interoperability. Calling Gemini from Power Automate, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, SharePoint Framework solutions, and Teams custom apps — with Microsoft Entra identity, Purview labeling, and audit logging on every cross-cloud call.
- Multimodal workflows. Image and document classification, video analysis, audio transcription with speaker diarization, and combined text-image reasoning for clinical imaging review, contract diagram extraction, and engineering drawing review.
- Long-context document workloads. Gemini 1.5 Pro's 2M-token context window for whole-codebase review, multi-document policy analysis, and large-scale regulatory mapping.
- Workspace-to-Microsoft-365 migrations. When buyers consolidate off Google Workspace onto Microsoft 365, EPC Group manages the AI migration thread — extracting institutional patterns from Gemini usage, mapping to Microsoft 365 Copilot equivalents, and preserving audit trails through the tenant cutover.
- Safety, compliance, and governance. Vertex AI Safety Filters tuning, Purview-equivalent classification of prompts and responses, immutable audit logging, and the architecture artifacts buyers need for HIPAA, SOC 2, FINRA, FedRAMP-aligned, CMMC, and GxP reviews.
When Gemini vs. Microsoft 365 Copilot
- Multimodal reasoning across images, video, audio, and text in a single call.
- 2M-token context window — whole-codebase review, very large document corpora.
- Buyer-mandated cross-vendor model diversity for risk decomposition.
- Specific Google Workspace ecosystem integration during a migration phase.
