Frequently Asked Questions

What governs EPC Group's service agreements?

Client engagements are governed by individual Statements of Work (SOW) that detail scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing. SOWs are executed under our Master Services Agreement (MSA) which covers liability, IP rights, confidentiality, and dispute resolution.

What is EPC Group's cancellation policy?

Project cancellations require 30 days written notice. Clients are responsible for work completed through the cancellation date plus any non-refundable third-party costs incurred. Retainer agreements may be cancelled with 60 days notice.

How does EPC Group handle intellectual property?

Custom code and configurations developed for clients are owned by the client upon final payment. EPC Group retains rights to pre-existing frameworks, methodologies, and reusable components. IP terms are detailed in each SOW.

What is the dispute resolution process?

Disputes are first addressed through escalation to project leadership. If unresolved, parties proceed to mediation, then binding arbitration in Harris County, Texas. This process is designed to resolve issues quickly without litigation.

Microsoft Strategy: 2026 Considerations for Terms

Microsoft Solutions Partner status (six designations: Data & AI, Modern Work, Infrastructure, Security, Digital & App Innovation, Business Applications) replaced the legacy Microsoft Gold Partner program in 2022. EPC Group held Gold Partner status from 2003 to 2022 (the oldest continuous Gold Partner in North America) and currently holds all six Solutions Partner designations; a credentialing footprint shared by fewer than 50 firms globally and typically used by Microsoft field teams as a vetting gate for enterprise Customer 0 nominations and named-account engagements.

EPC Group 29-year Microsoft consulting heritage matters specifically because Microsoft platform decisions today are layered on top of 25 years of architectural choices: Active Directory schema decisions from 2005 affect Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policy design in 2026; SharePoint 2003 information architecture decisions affect Copilot grounding quality in 2026. The firms that can navigate that depth (fewer than a dozen Microsoft Solutions Partners in North America) have a structural advantage on enterprise Microsoft migrations.

Decision factors EPC Group evaluates

  • Microsoft platform capability assessment
  • Vendor consolidation analysis
  • Compliance and governance posture review
  • Enterprise architecture roadmap
  • Cost optimization and licensing audit
