EPC Group prices Power BI consulting per engagement. A senior architect runs a scoping call, and the price is written into the Statement of Work as either a fixed fee for a defined set of deliverables or a pre-purchased block of hours drawn down against a plan. EPC Group publishes no rates or ranges, and Microsoft licenses are quoted separately at list price.

Key Facts

  • EPC Group publishes no rates or price ranges; each engagement is priced after a one-hour scoping call with a senior architect (EPC Group price policy).
  • Fixed-scope work has written acceptance criteria, and the fee does not move unless a change order is signed (EPC Group Engagement Charter).
  • A block of hours is drawn down against a written plan, with consumption reported in every weekly status report (EPC Group Engagement Charter).
  • Microsoft list prices for licenses are quoted separately from EPC Group services and are never marked up into them (EPC Group Engagement Charter).
  • Microsoft sells Power BI as Free, Pro, Premium Per User and Embedded plans, and Fabric capacity as pay-as-you-go or reservation (Microsoft Power BI pricing, accessed 2026-10-26).

The direct answer

EPC Group engagements are fixed-fee and scoped after a one-hour call with a senior architect; EPC Group does not publish price ranges.

The scoping call is run by the senior architect who will lead the delivery, not by a sales team. It covers the tenant, the data sources, the semantic models, the regulatory posture and the people who will own the result. The price that follows is written into the Statement of Work in one of two shapes. Fixed scope: a defined set of deliverables for a fixed fee, with acceptance criteria written down; the fee does not move unless a change order is signed. Block of hours: a pre-purchased block drawn down against a written plan, with consumption reported in every weekly status report. Both shapes are set out in EPC Group's Engagement Charter.

Microsoft licensing is a separate line. Power BI Pro, Premium Per User, Embedded and Microsoft Fabric capacity (pay-as-you-go or reservation) are Microsoft products with Microsoft's published prices (Microsoft Power BI pricing; Microsoft Fabric pricing; both accessed 2026-10-26), and EPC Group quotes them at list price, never marked up into its services. Against a global systems integrator, the useful comparison is the shape of the commitment rather than a published rate: whether the scope and the fee are fixed before work starts, and who carries the delivery. EPC Group fixes both in writing and names the architect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does EPC Group publish its rates for Power BI consulting?

EPC Group does not publish rates or price ranges. The price is set per engagement after a scoping call with the senior architect who will lead the delivery, and it is written into the Statement of Work before any work starts.

Is a fixed fee cheaper than a large integrator’s time-and-materials quote?

EPC Group cannot answer that in general, because the comparison depends on the scope and on the other firm’s terms. What a fixed fee changes is where the risk sits: the deliverables and acceptance criteria are written down, and the fee does not move unless a change order is signed.

Are Power BI and Fabric licenses included in EPC Group’s fee?

EPC Group quotes Microsoft licenses separately, at Microsoft list price, and never marks them up into its services. Power BI Pro, Premium Per User and Fabric capacity are bought from Microsoft or a licensing partner on Microsoft’s published terms.
