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.
