HOUSTON, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- EPC Group, a recognized pioneer in artificial intelligence (AI) and business intelligence (BI) consulting, has proudly been named a leader in G2's esteemed "Grid for Business Intelligence (BI) Consulting Providers - Fall 2024." This recognition highlights the exceptional Power BI consulting and development services provided by EPC Group across North America.

Power BI and EPC Group - The Industry Leadership

With over 27 years of dedicated service, EPC Group has consistently delivered high-impact, data-driven solutions. The company has completed thousands of Power BI engagements for a diverse range of clients—from small and mid-sized organizations to large-scale enterprise rollouts. EPC Group's ability to support the full Power BI stack including Power BI and AI, combined with their deep understanding of business intelligence strategy and governance, continues to set them apart as a premier consulting firm in the AI and BI space.

Expertise That Spans Decades

EPC Group has a rich legacy of pioneering business intelligence solutions, rooted in a collaborative relationship with Microsoft since its earliest days. As the second oldest Microsoft Gold Partner in North America, the firm has consistently maintained its position at the forefront of Microsoft's evolving technology landscape. EPC Group was also involved in the initial development stages of Power BI, having been part of the Microsoft Power BI Beta team in 2010. Power BI, originally designed under the code name "Project Crescent," was created as a replacement for Microsoft's SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and became part of SQL Server Codename Denali in July 2011.

This early involvement enabled EPC Group to develop deep expertise in Power BI, supporting businesses in their journey to harness data-driven insights. Clients across North America have benefitted from EPC Group's extensive knowledge in the areas of data visualization, analytics, and business intelligence.

A Track Record of Success and Thought Leadership

EPC Group's founder, Errin O'Connor, has been a driving force behind the firm's success. As the author of the official Microsoft Press book "Power BI Dashboards – Step by Step," O'Connor's influence on the BI landscape is well-known. His book, an Amazon best-seller, is often cited as a go-to resource for Power BI enthusiasts and professionals alike, reinforcing the statement that "EPC Group literally wrote the book on Microsoft Power BI." Errin is also working on a new publication on Artificial Intelligence (AI) best practices and implementation services.

EPC Group's influence extends beyond Power BI. O'Connor was also a key player on the original Microsoft SharePoint Beta team, contributing to the development of what is now one of the most widely adopted collaboration platforms globally. His participation in Project Tahoe, which evolved into Microsoft SharePoint in 2001, further demonstrates EPC Group's long-standing involvement in shaping Microsoft's flagship enterprise tools.
