Microsoft Consulting in San Antonio, Texas

EPC Group San Antonio — the regional Microsoft consulting practice

EPC Group serves enterprise customers in San Antonio from regional senior architects with hands-on production delivery experience. The local engagement model is the same as the national practice: senior-architect-led, fixed-fee accelerators or milestone-billed projects, compliance-native delivery for healthcare, financial services, government, and manufacturing. San Antonio clients typically begin with a 30-minute discovery call or a fixed-fee Tenant Health Check or Copilot Readiness Assessment.

Senior-architect-led delivery in San Antonio

Every engagement is led and staffed by 15 to 20 year veterans. No rotating juniors learning on your tenant. The bench includes hundreds of Microsoft-certified consultants who have shipped real production environments for Fortune 500 customers across SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Power BI, Azure, and Microsoft Copilot. Errin O'Connor (CEO and founder) is a Microsoft MVP (first awarded 2003) and a FedRAMP framework contributor; author of four Microsoft Press bestsellers covering Power BI, SharePoint, Azure, and large-scale migrations.

Compliance-native, not bolted on

Zero governance audit failures across 11,000-plus enterprise engagements. HIPAA, SOC 2, FINRA, FedRAMP, and CMMC controls are engineered into the tenant on day one with audit-ready evidence. The regulated-industry posture is the baseline, not an upgrade tier. EPC Group is a Microsoft Solutions Partner with core designations across Modern Work, Security, and Data & AI. EPC Group was the oldest continuous Microsoft Gold Partner in North America from 2016 until program retirement in 2022.

How EPC Group engages San Antonio clients

Six-phase methodology applied to every engagement, compressed for fixed-fee accelerators and extended for full programs.

1. Discovery — two-week assessment of the current estate, gap analysis, risk register, target architecture, costed remediation roadmap.
2. Design — senior architect produces the target topology, identity framework, Conditional Access, Purview, governance model, and security posture, reviewed by client leads.
3. Pilot — 25 to 100 user pilot in a real business unit. Migrate, apply baselines, test integrations, capture feedback.
4. Wave rollout — migrate in waves of 500 to 2,500 users with communications, training, hypercare, and a per-wave retrospective.
5. Adoption — role-based training, Champions network, executive sponsor enablement, metrics tracked against a measured baseline.
6. Operate — optional managed-services retainer for license optimization, governance reviews, security monitoring, and quarterly business reviews.
