Nation's Leading SharePoint Integration Firm Releases World Class Project Server Methodologies

WASHINGTON, May 11, 2011 -- EPC Group, one of the nation's largest Microsoft Gold Partner Solution Providers, announced today the launch of the EPC Group Project Server Acceleration methodology. Errin O'Connor, Founder and CEO of EPC Group, cited the reason for the choice was based upon the growth of Enterprise Project Management (EPM) demand that EPC Group has experienced over the last year and the great success they have seen in its Microsoft Project Server implementations. O'Connor stated, "A little known fact is that EPC Group started out as a Project Server implementation firm back in 1999/2000 and we discovered something called Tahoe\STS 1.0 (Version 1 of SharePoint) and our methodologies started to hatch. 11 years later, SharePoint 2010 and Project Server 2010 are two of EPC Group's largest offerings."

By leveraging the power of both Microsoft Project Server and SharePoint Server 2010 for a combined EPM solution, an organization can advance collaboration and communications across teams effectively, control internal data throughout the project lifecycle, ensure resources are allocated economically, and allow information to be shared and not replicated.

O'Connor said, "EPC Group has experienced tremendous growth in demand for our Microsoft Project Server services, approximately double each year over the past five years. Our clients are beginning to understand the efficiency and collaborative power of this technology and want to harness the benefits for their organizations. Clients have been coming to us increasingly for the Project Server knowledge base our team possesses."

Anthony Guevara, CIO of EPC Group, said, "One organization that comes to mind when speaking about Enterprise Project Management is a large financial services company based in Illinois, which had SharePoint Server 2007 in place, that came to us with lack of consistent project, portfolio and resource management processes, ill-informed decision makers resulting from mismanagement of information, and teams that were not cooperating effectively. They needed to somehow integrate an EPM system into their environment and form a better governance model for both technologies Microsoft SharePoint Server and Project Server."

Guevara continued, "After our implementation of Project Server, our client was able to more easily manage their enterprise content across departments and teams, make more informed decisions, and to collaborate with greater ease of time and productivity. This is the type of results that we enjoy seeing from our clients for the benefit of their customers; thus, why we are thrilled with the launch of the EPC Group Project Server Acceleration methodology."
