How much does it cost to get Microsoft Fabric implemented properly?
Microsoft Fabric implementation cost splits across three main lines: a Fabric capacity starting at the F2 SKU, per-consumer Power BI licences on capacities below F64, and the build itself. The build is the variable one — a custom project runs three to six months of billed effort, while a pre-built accelerator puts the first module live in four to six weeks. IntelliFabric is quoted in Starter, Growth and Enterprise tiers.

IntelliFabric is quoted per organisation across three tiers — Starter, Growth and Enterprise — rather than published as a list price, because scope depends on which industry modules, how many source connectors and how many report consumers are in play. Most organisations running 10 to 50 analytics users land in Growth. Microsoft Fabric capacity and Power BI licences are purchased separately, direct from Microsoft.

Two separate invoices. The IntelliFabric subscription from Folio3 covers the pre-built industry module, 200+ KPI definitions, 50+ connector templates, the Fabric pipeline and Lakehouse build, the Power BI semantic model, dashboards, access configuration, live user training and ongoing support. Microsoft bills Fabric capacity, OneLake storage and per-consumer Power BI licences directly to the customer's own Azure subscription.

No separate implementation fee. Every IntelliFabric plan — Starter, Growth and Enterprise — bundles delivery: source connection, Fabric Lakehouse setup, the Power BI semantic model, dashboards and user onboarding, with no professional-services line billed on top. Microsoft licensing is bought from Microsoft directly: a Fabric capacity of F2 or above, plus a per-consumer Power BI licence below F64. Custom pipelines, KPIs outside the pre-built library and industry modules beyond the first sit in higher tiers.
