Our foundation

Built on Principles, Not Promises

When Michael Samadi left a prestigious position at one of the world’s top consulting firms to launch EPMA in 2010, it was a stand for something better. After years of witnessing how trust in consulting was eroding — clients disillusioned by empty jargon, inflated billing, and flashy slide decks — he built something radically different: a consulting firm that told the truth, even when it wasn’t popular.

Customer success

“I didn’t launch EPMA to impress the market. I did it to serve the client. Not with polish, but with principles.”

Proven Track Record

What Sets EPMA Apart

We are a Microsoft Gold Partner in project and portfolio management for over 15 years — specifically Microsoft Project and Project Server. This is not a general technology firm that dabbled in PPM. This is all we do. We have never failed a client project. In 17 years. Across Fortune 500 organizations. That is not marketing language — it is a verifiable track record. We work with our clients, not for them. Every engagement is a partnership. We tell you when your approach is wrong. We push back when the plan won’t work. That is what 17 years of success looks like.
