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.

EPC Group’s governance strategies and related development follow four major pillars:

  • 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 sets us apart from our competitors is the way we implement a successful SharePoint 2013/2016 governance strategy, in a manner and mindset that reflects “operational governance”, as we configure the underlying platform and its configuration to enforce governance and related policies.
