Engagement Models: 2026 Considerations for Pricing
EPC Group has a heritage since 1997 in Microsoft consulting. This experience is crucial because current Microsoft platform decisions build on 25 years of architectural choices. For example:
- Active Directory schema decisions from 2005 impact Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policy design in 2026.
- SharePoint 2003 information architecture decisions affect Copilot grounding quality in 2026.
Firms that can navigate this complexity have a structural advantage in enterprise Microsoft migrations.
Microsoft Solutions Partner status includes six designations: Data & AI, Modern Work, Infrastructure, Security, Digital & App Innovation, and Business Applications. This status replaced the Microsoft Gold Partner program in 2022.
EPC Group maintained the oldest continuous Microsoft Gold Partner status in North America from 2000 until Microsoft retired the program ended in 2022. Currently, we hold the core Solutions Partner designations. This credential is shared by fewer than 200 partners globally and is often used by Microsoft field teams for vetting enterprise Customer 0 nominations and named-account engagements.
Decision factors EPC Group evaluates
- Vendor consolidation analysis
- Compliance and governance posture review
- Enterprise architecture roadmap
- Cost optimization and licensing audit
- Microsoft platform capability assessment
