Your platform sets the pace

for your business

Most organizations are held back by fragmented platforms, disconnected data and integration that nobody fully owns. Azure Advantage is Epical's approach to solving that.

Azure Advantage

A governed foundation for modern digital platforms on Microsoft Azure

Azure Advantage is how Epical helps organizations build a governed platform and keep governance intact as it scales. By bringing together architecture, integration, identity and analytics under a shared governance model on Microsoft Azure, we help organizations modernize with confidence and build for what comes next.

Our offering brings together core capabilities in the Microsoft ecosystem such as Azure, Fabric, Azure Integration Services, Entra ID and Profisee Master Data Management into a cohesive platform with governance and synergies across the capabilities.

Azure Advantage helps organizations:

✓

Gain better control and predictability over cloud costs

✓

Govern hybrid and multi-cloud environments more effectively

✓

Modernize legacy systems without increasing operational risk

✓

Improve resilience for business-critical systems

✓

Establish a foundation for AI, analytics and automation

✓

Deliver digital services faster and more reliably

BizTalk to Azure

Modernize with confidence – BizTalk to Azure made clear.

Done right, a move to Azure eliminates technical debt, modernizes your integration architecture and builds a foundation for automation, resilience and AI-ready data flows.

Epical has delivered complex BizTalk transitions across industries for over 25 years. Our structured approach gives you a clear path forward, with predictable execution and minimal disruption to business-critical systems.

Data Platform Modernization

A modern data platform you can trust today, and scale on tomorrow.

Most data platforms are the result of years of incremental change. The architecture becomes fragmented, governance harder to maintain, and scaling analytics or AI initiatives increasingly complex.

Done right, modernization simplifies the architecture, strengthens governance and builds a foundation where data is consistently available, trusted and ready for AI. Epical combines deep expertise in Microsoft Fabric and Databricks with a structured approach that takes you from fragmented to future-ready, without adding unnecessary complexity.

Hybrid Cloud Adoption

Hybrid by design, governed infrastructure built for agility and control.

Most organizations do not operate in a single environment. Cloud, on-premises and everything in between creates complexity that is difficult to govern, secure and scale without a deliberate architectural approach.

Epical helps organizations build and operate governed hybrid environments on Azure, with identity governance, Entra ID security and secure directory services embedded from the start, giving you the control to modernize infrastructure without sacrificing compliance or agility.

Azure Integration services

Connect systems and data with Azure Integration services

When systems cannot communicate reliably, business processes slow down, data becomes inconsistent and digital initiatives stall before they deliver. Reliable integration is the foundation that everything else depends on.

Using Azure Integration Services, Epical designs and implements integration platforms that connect systems, applications and data flows securely and efficiently.

Typical components include:

Azure API Management
Securely expose, govern and monitor APIs for internal and external consumers.
Azure Logic Apps
Automate workflows and orchestrate processes across systems and services.
Azure Functions
Extend integrations with flexible serverless logic and custom functionality.

Together these services form a scalable integration platform that supports both daily operations and the digital ecosystem your business depends on.

Microsoft Fabric

Turn data into insight with Microsoft Fabric

Most organizations are sitting on more data than they can use. Not because the data does not exist, but because it is scattered, inconsistent and hard to act on. The gap between data and decision is where value is lost.

Microsoft Fabric brings together data integration, storage, analytics, AI and visualization in a single platform. Epical designs and implements modern data platforms that support both operational and analytical workloads, with governance and data trust built in from the start.

We support:

Implementation of new data platforms
Modernization of existing data environments
Governance and data trust frameworks
Scalable architectures for analytics and AI

With Microsoft Fabric, Epical will shorten the path from data to insight and enable better decision-making across the organization.

Profisee

Establish trusted master data with Profisee

Poor data quality is one of the most common reasons analytics projects underdeliver and automation initiatives fail. When the same customer, product or supplier exists in five different forms across your systems, every decision built on that data carries risk.

Using Profisee, Epical implements Master Data Management as an integrated part of the Microsoft data platform. Profisee integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Services and Power BI to ensure that business-critical data is:

Consistent
Governed
Reliable
Accessible across systems

Trusted master data creates the foundation for reliable analytics, consistent reporting and data-driven decision-making across the organization.

Microsoft Entra ID

Secure identities and access with Microsoft Entra ID

As cloud environments grow and AI agents multiply, controlling who and what can access critical systems becomes one of the most important governance challenges organizations face. Access gaps are rarely visible until they appear in an audit, or an incident.

With Microsoft Entra ID, Epical designs and implements identity architectures that enable secure and controlled access across applications, platforms and users.

Capabilities include:

Single Sign-On across applications
Multi-factor authentication
Access governance and lifecycle management
Secure identity integration across cloud and hybrid environments

A well-designed identity platform ensures secure, governed access to business-critical systems, applications and data.

Databricks

Unify data, analytics, and AI with Databricks

As data volumes grow and AI demands increase, organizations need a platform that can handle scale without sacrificing governance or performance. Disconnected tools and fragmented pipelines create bottlenecks that slow down both engineering teams and business decisions.

Epical designs, implements, and operates Databricks-based lakehouse platforms that power governed data engineering, advanced analytics, and AI—seamlessly integrated with Azure services and Microsoft Fabric.

Databricks solutions provided by Epical include:

Lakehouse foundations
Data engineering at scale
Analytics & AI
Platform architecture & operations
Modernization & migration

Epical turns Databricks into a fast, reliable engine for your data and AI ambitions.
