AI Where Your Work Already Lives

We don't ask you to adopt new platforms. We activate the AI capabilities already embedded in what you own — and augment with best-in-class third-party tools where value demands it.

Activate AI across every M365 touchpoint. ETC deploys Copilot licensing, governance zones, and custom agents in 12 weeks — with Purview DLP and sensitivity labels ensuring compliance from day one. Includes Champion Team formation, COE setup, and department-by-department rollout.

Implementation That
Actually Sticks

Our Implementation Pod model — built around governance, technical delivery, adoption, and communications — ensures every AI deployment is production-ready, secure, and used by the people who need it most.

01
Platform Discovery & Readiness Review
ETC conducts a structured assessment of your existing SaaS/PaaS footprint — licensing posture, data governance gaps, connector inventory, identity configuration, and shadow AI exposure. Outputs a prioritized AI opportunity map and governance readiness score.
Weeks 1–2Zero disruptionDeliverable: AI Readiness Report
02
Least Privileged Governance Foundation
Before any agent or automation goes live, ETC enforces role-based and attribute-based access controls, configures Purview DLP, establishes Environment Groups and Zone routing, and locks down connector policies. Security is baked in — not bolted on after.
Weeks 2–4PPAC + PurviewZone 1–3 Setup
03
Pilot Strategy & Champion Team Activation
Rapid validation of 3–5 high-impact use cases with a trained champion team. Pilots prove governance compliance and operational readiness before scale. In our 12-week Copilot deployments, pilots go live by week 4 — generating measurable KPIs for leadership by week 8.
Weeks 3–6Champion pod: 6–8 peopleKPI baseline established

Phased Rollout & Persona-Based Training
Department-by-department enablement with tailored change management. ETC builds persona-specific training — separate tracks for IT admins, citizen developers, power users, and leadership. Adoption metrics tracked weekly; underperforming areas receive targeted intervention.
Weeks 6–12Persona training tracksWeekly adoption KPIs
05
COE Establishment & Continuous Governance
ETC stands up or matures your Center of Excellence — governance board, ALM pipelines, agent lifecycle management, Sentinel SIEM integration, and quarterly responsible AI reviews. The COE becomes the ongoing engine of innovation within guardrails. Based on our CISA model.

Where Our Team Has
Already Done This

All three engagements below were personally architected and delivered by Chris Lee*, VP Technology & Innovation.

Results validated through real deployments at federal civilian and defense agencies.

ETC Signature Deployment
CISA — CYBERSECURITY & INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY AGENCY
Power Platform COE & Governance at CISA

Chris Lee* personally architected and delivered a full Power Platform Center of Excellence at one of the nation's most security-sensitive civilian agencies. The engagement established Zone 1–3 governance, Environment Groups with routing, Advanced Connector Policies, Purview DLP integration, and a citizen developer program — all from scratch. Least Privileged Governance ensured agents could be built by mission teams without exposing sensitive infrastructure data. The COE governance board, ALM pipeline, and agent approval workflow were fully operational in 12 weeks.

⚠ Enterprise Timeline Note: CISA was achieved in 12 weeks due to its focused scope and readiness posture. Larger or more complex enterprises should anticipate extended timelines depending on the depth of Zero Trust and Least Privilege configuration required, the volume of SharePoint data clean-up needed, and the extent of sensitivity labeling and data tagging work across existing content repositories.

12-Week Copilot Scale Implementation — Efficiency Turnaround by Department

Chris Lee* personally led and delivered a repeatable 12-week Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment playbook across multiple federal environments. Starting with champion team formation in week 1, the program reaches department-wide adoption by week 10 with measurable KPIs per business unit. Each area — HR, IT, finance, legal, procurement — received a dedicated efficiency baseline and tracked improvements throughout rollout.

What Microsoft & ServiceNow
Customers Have Proven

ETC's approach is grounded in validated outcomes across the Microsoft and ServiceNow customer ecosystems — evidence that the platforms work at scale when implementation is done right.

Microsoft Copilot for M365
Customer: Dow Chemical — Global Enterprise
MICROSOFT CUSTOMER SUCCESS STUDY · MANUFACTURING
Reclaiming 20,000+ Hours Monthly Through AI-Assisted Work

Dow deployed Microsoft 365 Copilot across their global workforce. Teams meeting summaries, document drafting, and email triage were the top gains. Employees reported spending 73% less time on meeting prep, and knowledge workers gained 4+ hours per week on average — translating to $20M+ in annual productivity value. Governance was managed through Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels and data policies — the same stack ETC deploys.

Power Platform COE
Customer: T-Mobile — Telecom Enterprise
MICROSOFT CUSTOMER SUCCESS STUDY · TELECOM
Power Platform COE Delivering 74% Cost Savings on Internal App Dev

T-Mobile's Power Platform COE enabled over 3,000 citizen developers to build internal automation and apps under centralized IT governance. The COE reduced app development costs by 74% vs. traditional IT delivery and cut time-to-deploy from months to weeks. Environment Groups, DLP policies, and managed environments mirrored exactly the governance framework ETC implements — including the zone-based access model that prevents shadow app sprawl.

AI-Powered ITSM Cuts Incident Resolution by 63% at Equinix

Equinix deployed ServiceNow Now Assist across their global ITSM operations — routing, triaging, summarizing, and resolving incidents with generative AI. Virtual Agent deflected 58% of help desk tickets before reaching a human, and first-contact resolution improved dramatically. Knowledge article generation was automated, cutting documentation time by 70%. The same Now Assist architecture ETC deploys across federal IT service desks.

Copilot Studio Agents Automating Claims & Underwriting at Scale

Zurich deployed Copilot Studio agents across claims processing, underwriting research, customer service, and compliance reporting. Agents grounded in SharePoint and Azure data sources dramatically reduced manual lookup and document drafting. Sensitive data protection enforced via Purview sensitivity labels — with DLP policies preventing agents from surfacing restricted data — mirrors the exact governance posture ETC architects for federal customers.
