Frequently Asked Questions

What is Power BI and how can it help my organization?

Power BI is Microsoft's enterprise analytics platform that transforms raw data into interactive dashboards and reports. It enables data-driven decision-making across your organization with real-time insights, automated refresh, and role-based access control. EPC Group has delivered 200+ enterprise Power BI implementations.

How much does Power BI consulting cost?

Power BI consulting typically ranges from $50K-$250K depending on scope. A focused dashboard project runs $50K-$100K, while enterprise-wide analytics platforms with governance frameworks cost $150K-$250K. EPC Group provides detailed estimates after a free discovery session.

What industries does EPC Group serve with Power BI?

EPC Group delivers Power BI solutions across healthcare (HIPAA-compliant), financial services (SOC 2), government (FedRAMP/GCC), manufacturing, retail, education, energy, and professional services — all with industry-specific compliance and security configurations.

How long does a Power BI implementation take?

Timeline depends on complexity: a focused dashboard suite takes 4-8 weeks, a department-wide analytics rollout takes 8-16 weeks, and an enterprise platform with Fabric, governance, and training takes 4-6 months. EPC Group uses agile delivery with 2-week sprint cycles.
