Microsoft Fabric: why it matters for DFW enterprises

Fabric consolidates what used to be four separate Azure services into one platform.

  • Previously: Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Synapse, standalone Spark clusters, and disconnected Power BI tenants.
  • Now: One platform (Fabric), one storage layer (OneLake), one security model (Entra ID + Purview), one license (capacity units).
  • OneLake shortcut model: a single Parquet dataset serves Spark queries (Fabric Lakehouse) and T-SQL queries (Fabric Warehouse) without copying data.
  • 30–50% lower TCO for enterprises already on Microsoft 365 and Power BI compared to maintaining a separate analytics warehouse like Snowflake.

Frequently asked questions

What Microsoft Fabric services does EPC Group provide in Dallas–Fort Worth?

EPC Group offers various services to DFW organizations in financial services, telecommunications, energy, and healthcare. Our services include:

  • Fabric enablement assessments
  • OneLake architecture design
  • Fabric lakehouse implementation
  • Power BI Premium to Fabric migration
  • Medallion architecture build-outs
  • Compliance-native Fabric governance

Why should Dallas energy companies use Microsoft Fabric?

Energy companies generate massive volumes of SCADA, IoT, and operational data. Fabric's Real-Time Intelligence workload (KQL databases and event streams) handles high-frequency operational data.

OneLake unifies this with ERP, financial, and regulatory data in one platform — eliminating the separate data lake, Synapse, and Power BI licensing that most energy analytics stacks currently require.

How does Microsoft Fabric compare to Snowflake for DFW enterprises?

Fabric is 20–40% less expensive for enterprises already using Microsoft 365. This is due to no separate storage costs and Power BI being included in Fabric capacity.

Snowflake is outstanding for sharing data across clouds. It works especially well for organizations using AWS or GCP for their production needs. During Fabric discovery engagements, EPC Group evaluates both options for clients in DFW.

How long does a Microsoft Fabric implementation take?

The timeline for our services varies based on your needs:

  • Fabric enablement assessment: 2–4 weeks
  • Focused lakehouse build for a single analytics domain: 8–12 weeks
  • Full data estate migration from Synapse to Fabric: 4–6 months

The exact timeline depends on factors such as data volume, the complexity of your existing architecture, and compliance requirements.

Does EPC Group provide on-site consulting in Dallas–Fort Worth?

Yes, EPC Group provides Fabric consulting services in the DFW metro area. We offer both on-site and remote options to meet client needs.

Our headquarters in Houston, TX, enables us to support DFW clients on-site when needed.
