Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Microsoft Power Platform consulting services
What is Microsoft Power Platform and how can it help my organization?
Microsoft Power Platform is a suite of low-code/no-code tools including Power Apps (custom applications), Power Automate (workflow automation and RPA), Power Pages (external websites), Power BI (analytics), and Copilot Studio (AI agents). It enables organizations to digitize paper-based processes, automate repetitive tasks, build custom line-of-business applications, and create AI-powered chatbots without traditional software development. EPC Group has deployed Power Platform for 800+ organizations, delivering an average 340% ROI within 12 months.
How long does a Power Platform implementation take?
Implementation timelines depend on scope: a single Power App proof-of-concept takes 2-4 weeks, a multi-app deployment with governance framework takes 6-10 weeks, and a full enterprise transformation with Center of Excellence takes 3-6 months. EPC Group compresses delivery cycles using our proven accelerator templates and reusable component libraries — with fixed-scope engagements sized against your actual app inventory.
Is Power Platform secure enough for regulated industries like healthcare and finance?
Yes. Microsoft Power Platform is built on Azure and inherits enterprise-grade security including SOC 1/2/3, HIPAA BAA, FedRAMP High, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 certifications. EPC Group implements additional governance layers including DLP policies, environment segmentation, connector restrictions, and audit logging to meet the most stringent regulatory requirements. Our clients have a strong compliance audit track record across healthcare, financial services, and government deployments.
What is a Power Platform Center of Excellence (CoE)?
A Center of Excellence is a governance and enablement framework that establishes standards, best practices, and support structures for Power Platform across your organization. It includes the Microsoft CoE Starter Kit (admin analytics, compliance tools, cleanup processes), maker community programs, training curricula, and executive dashboards measuring adoption and ROI. EPC Group has established CoEs for organizations with 5,000 to 100,000+ employees.
How do you handle Power Platform governance and prevent shadow IT?
EPC Group implements a multi-layered governance framework: tenant-level DLP policies that classify connectors into business, non-business, and blocked categories; environment strategy with separate dev/test/prod environments; maker onboarding workflows with mandatory training; automated compliance scanning via the CoE Starter Kit; and executive dashboards tracking app inventory, orphaned resources, and connector usage. This enables citizen development while maintaining IT control and data security.
Can Power Platform replace our existing custom applications?
In many cases, yes. Power Apps can replace legacy Access databases, InfoPath forms, Excel-based tools, and custom .NET applications at a fraction of the development cost and timeline. EPC Group conducts application portfolio assessments to identify which legacy apps are strong candidates for Power Platform modernization versus those that require traditional development. We have migrated hundreds of legacy applications to Power Apps with documented data-fidelity checklists and improved user adoption.
What is the cost of Power Platform consulting services?
Power Platform consulting costs vary by scope: Quick-Start projects (single app, proof-of-concept), Standard deployments (multi-app with governance), and Enterprise transformations (full CoE, managed services) are each scoped separately. EPC Group provides transparent fixed-price quotes after an initial assessment. We also offer monthly managed services for ongoing support, optimization, and new development.
How does Power Platform integrate with Microsoft 365, Azure, and Dynamics 365?
Power Platform natively integrates with the entire Microsoft ecosystem. Power Apps and Power Automate connect to SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and Excel via built-in connectors. Dataverse (the underlying data platform) shares the same data model as Dynamics 365. Azure services like Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Azure Functions, and Azure AI Services connect via premium connectors or custom connectors. EPC Group specializes in designing integrated solutions that leverage your existing Microsoft investments.
