EPC Group’s SharePoint consulting services include a comprehensive review of your organizations overall SharePoint 2019 information architecture (IA) requirements.

This allows us to understand the business and functional requirements that are driving the IA design. We then develop a scalable and highly performing underlying system architecture required to meet your SharePoint 2019 requirements.

EPC Group’s approach will ensure your underlying system architecture is designed based on our team having a deep understanding of your business and will take into consideration the needs of your organization in terms of metrics such as:

Understanding the expected number of SharePoint 2019 users at the initial go-live as well as any possible future estimates if expansion is on the horizon
Defining the estimated amount of content (sizing) that will be stored by individual departments, business units, and users
Are there any sizing issues regarding large content that must be taken into consideration?
Reviewing the performance requirements of these users based on the organization’s current infrastructure as well as these user’s locationst
Review your organization’s underlying data center(s) to ensure a detailed understanding of the required SLAs and the organization’s disaster recovery and business continuity requirements

SharePoint Governance Strategy

EPC Group is a recognized industry leader in developing and implementing governance strategies for our clients around SharePoint 2016, 2019, Office 365 SharePoint Online as well as the technologies with which they integrate such as Microsoft Exchange, Skype for Business 2019 and Project Server.

Our governance strategies also cover custom development, code promotional and application lifecycle management(ALM).

Governance is a key component to ensure long-term success and is unique for every organization. Our governance strategies define who will manage the overall platform and related granular roles and responsibilities within your organization to establish rules for its appropriate usage.

Our detailed strategies outline how the business and technical users leverage the environment with a careful balance of required restrictions and enterprise compliance policies with well-defined procedures for growth and future change. EPC Group’s strategies have been developed over the past 20 years to ensure your organization’s governance plan covers nearly any and all scenarios you may experience throughout the platform’s lifecycle.

FOUR MAJOR PILLARS OF EPC GROUP’S GOVERNANCE STRATEGIES:

People

Roles and responsibilities

Process

How to accomplish common tasks as well as new business and technology requests

Technology

Leveraging features and tools to enforce policies

Policy

Collection of principles and clear definitions on how the platform is utilized

One of the major elements that set EPC Group apart from our competitors is the way in which we implement a successful SharePoint 2019 governance strategy- in a manner and mindset that reflects “operational governance”, as we configure the underlying platform and its configuration to enforce governance and its related policies.
