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 is scoped to the engagement: a focused dashboard project or an enterprise-wide analytics platform with governance frameworks. 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.

Power BI Strategy: 2026 Considerations for Power BI With Azure Consulting Services

Row-level security (RLS) and object-level security (OLS) in Power BI Premium and Fabric F-SKU capacities are crucial for compliance. These controls are often missed, particularly in environments governed by:

HIPAA
SOC 2
FINRA

RLS scoped through service principal authentication is the only method that successfully passes a SOC 2 Type II auditor privilege-walk test. EPC Group includes this feature in all Power BI engagements for regulated industries.

Power BI Copilot uses the semantic model instead of the underlying source data. This means that Copilot's responses depend on several key factors:

The accuracy of DAX measure definitions
Field metadata
Synonyms taxonomy

In practice, the success of a Copilot deployment can vary significantly. Key factors include:

Semantic model preparation by Copilot
Accuracy of DAX measure definitions
Quality of field metadata, including display folders, descriptions, and hierarchies

Deployments that are well-prepared can drive 32% time savings, while poorly prepared ones may be abandoned by users within 90 days.

Decision factors EPC Group evaluates

Row-level security via service principal authentication
Capacity sizing decision (F2/F4/F64+) tied to peak concurrent users and refresh window
Copilot grounding quality assessment of semantic-model metadata
Direct Lake mode adoption for Fabric-resident semantic models
License optimization audit (Pro vs Premium Per User vs F-SKU)
