Fabric is Microsoft’s most powerful data tool to date. But getting up to speed with Fabric can be a huge challenge. For organizations who are looking to implement Fabric in the future or who currently use Fabric, working with a Microsoft Fabric Consultant is the best way to get the most out of their investment.
Here are just three of the many reasons why choosing a consultant is better than going alone.
When looking for Fabric services, you want to look for a Fabric Consultant - not just a general Microsoft consultant. With the sheer number of tools in the Microsoft ecosystem, not every Microsoft consultant has detailed knowledge of Fabric.
A Fabric Consultant is someone who has demonstrated experience working with Fabric and other relevant Microsoft data tools like Power BI and Azure. For our team at Superior Consulting Services, this means that our experts have done a full deep dive into Fabric. Before we felt comfortable advising clients, we made sure our employees had hands-on experience using Fabric not just as architects, but also in the same ways that our customers might use Fabric.
Fabric is new, so it’s better to look for someone who has hands-on experience with Fabric to help guide your organization - not just general knowledge.
Tackling Fabric alone can be a big challenge. Because it is new, there isn’t the wealth of self-guided resources out there like there is for established tools like Power BI. When you run into challenges, the only place to turn to is the support forums - and as user-generated content, posts aren’t always answered.
Working with a Fabric Consultant like Superior Consulting Services puts a team in your corner that can assist you at every step of the way and also answer your questions as they arise, with greater accuracy.
As a part of our ongoing Fabric education, we host a user group that’s open for anyone to join: Minnesota Fabric/Power BI Community. This group is dedicated to sharing knowledge and supporting fellow users of Microsoft Analytics tools. The best resource is someone who has been there and done that. This community makes those contacts possible.
Getting your Fabric instance up and running effectively is just one piece of the puzzle. It’s ultimately pointless if your team isn’t also up to speed and comfortable with the tools.
A consulting organization also provides training. This is one of the biggest differentiators between an independent contractor and a consulting group - one will get everything set up for you; the other will get everything set up for you and provide ongoing training and support.
At Superior Consulting Services, team training and mentoring are core to what we do. We know that not everyone will use the system the same way, and not everyone has the same learning style and past experiences. That’s why we provide tailored Fabric education to our customers that’s focused on empowering team members, not just lecturing at them.
Utilizing a Fabric consultant is a key step of the process to maximizing the effectiveness of this powerful Microsoft suite.
