Microsoft Fabric Consulting: 8 Azure-Capable Firms Compared for 2026

Microsoft Fabric is a unified SaaS analytics platform that combines Power BI, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Azure Data Factory into one product, built around OneLake as a single storage layer in the open Delta Parquet format. It became generally available on November 15, 2023. Below are 8 Azure- and Power BI-capable data engineering firms from our directory whose stack maps to Fabric’s building blocks - Data Factory, Synapse Data Engineering, Synapse Data Warehousing, and Power BI.

Of the 8 firms, only EY currently lists Microsoft Fabric by name in our records. The rest bring the Azure Synapse, Power BI, and Azure Data Factory foundation that Fabric consolidates, not a stated Fabric practice. Our directory does not track Microsoft Fabric certifications (the Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate exam, DP-600) or Microsoft Solutions Partner designations. If certified Fabric specialization is a requirement, verify it directly through Microsoft’s Fabric partner directory before you shortlist.

Compare Fabric-capable firms

Firms are listed alphabetically. We do not rank firms by quality - use the best-for and wrong-for columns to narrow the list, then verify Fabric specialization directly with Microsoft before you send an RFP.

1. Celebal Technologies

Rate: $50-100/hr. Team: 1000. Minimum project: $25K+.

Celebal Technologies positions as a Microsoft Azure specialist, with named strength in Power BI and AI solutions; per their profile, they were named a Microsoft Partner of the Year across 2022-2025. It is the wrong choice for programs where a platform other than Microsoft Azure is the primary stack - its earned depth is Azure-first.

2. DataArt

Rate: $50-100/hr. Team: 3000. Minimum project: $50K+.

DataArt works across AWS, Azure, GCP, Databricks, Snowflake, and Spark, built around custom software development with embedded data engineering and European nearshore delivery. It is the wrong choice for buyers needing deep single-platform specialization, such as Snowflake Elite or Databricks Premier depth - its broad custom-build model is not a single-platform specialist.

3. Devoteam

Rate: $100-175/hr. Team: 11000. Minimum project: $50K+.

Devoteam serves European enterprises as a cloud and cybersecurity specialist, working across AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft, and Salesforce. It is the wrong fit for buyers outside Europe needing a locally present partner, or mid-market programs under $50K where an 11,000-person consultancy’s overhead outweighs a boutique.

4. EY

Rate: $175+/hr. Team: 5000. Minimum project: $200K+.

EY is the only firm on this list that lists Microsoft Fabric explicitly in our records, alongside Azure, Snowflake, and Databricks. It fits global compliance, audit-ready data platforms, and finance transformation work. It is the wrong choice for any engagement below its $200K+ minimum, or for buyers who don’t need Big Four compliance, audit, or finance-data depth.

5. Kanerika Inc

Rate: $75-150/hr. Team: 200. Minimum project: $10K+.

Kanerika Inc focuses on intelligent automation and data analytics, positioning as a Microsoft Azure specialist across Azure Data Factory, Synapse, and Power BI, alongside AWS, GCP, Databricks, and Snowflake capability. It is the wrong fit for organizations whose primary platform is Snowflake without Azure, or programs needing delivery scale beyond a 200-person firm.

6. ProCogia

Rate: $125-200/hr. Team: 100. Minimum project: $25K+.

ProCogia runs data consultancy and bioinformatics work, including enterprise data mesh projects, with Azure listed first in its stack ahead of AWS, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks, and Spark. It is the wrong choice for buyers needing a large parallel delivery bench or global contractual scale - at 100 people it can’t sustain multi-workstream enterprise staffing.

7. Wipro

Rate: $50-100/hr. Team: 200000. Minimum project: $100K+.

Wipro serves large-scale global enterprises through an offshore delivery model, across AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks, SAP, and Hadoop. It is the wrong fit for mid-market buyers with sub-$100K scope, or anyone needing a nimble, low-overhead engagement.

8. XenonStack

Rate: $50-100/hr. Team: 500. Minimum project: $10K+.

XenonStack builds agentic AI systems, real-time analytics, and platform engineering work, which maps to Fabric’s Real-Time Intelligence workload, across AWS, Azure, GCP, Databricks, Kafka, Spark, and Kubernetes. It is the wrong choice for buyers whose program centers on traditional batch warehouse migration or Snowflake-primary delivery.

What does a Microsoft Fabric consulting engagement involve?

A Fabric engagement typically covers lakehouse and schema design in OneLake, Synapse Data Engineering and Data Warehousing work, Data Factory pipeline builds, and Power BI semantic models, plus migration from standalone Synapse or Power BI Premium capacity into Fabric’s unified SaaS model. Some engagements add Copilot enablement. Scope varies by firm - confirm what’s included before signing a statement of work.

How much does Microsoft Fabric consulting cost?

Rates for the 8 firms above span $50-200+/hr, from Kanerika Inc’s $75/hr floor to EY’s $175+/hr. Across our full 86-firm index, rates run $45-250/hr with a median of $100/hr. Minimum project sizes for the firms above range from $10K to $200K+, tracking with team size and how enterprise-focused the firm is.

How do you verify a firm’s Microsoft Fabric expertise?

Our directory tracks rate, team size, platform list, and stated best-fit and wrong-fit use cases, but it does not track Fabric-specific certifications or Microsoft Solutions Partner designations. To confirm a firm holds the Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate credential (DP-600) or a relevant partner tier, check Microsoft’s Fabric partner directory directly.

Which of these firms lead with the Microsoft stack?

EY is the only firm that lists Microsoft Fabric explicitly. Kanerika Inc and Celebal Technologies position themselves as Azure and Power BI specialists, naming Azure Data Factory, Synapse, and Power BI in their profiles. The remaining five firms are multi-cloud shops where Azure is one platform among several, alongside AWS, GCP, and Snowflake.

When do you need a Fabric consultant vs in-house?

Bring in a consultant for platform-specific work your team hasn’t done before - OneLake shortcut design, Synapse-to-Fabric migration, or rebuilding semantic models across Power BI and Fabric together. Handle Fabric in-house when your team already owns the Power BI and Azure Synapse environment being migrated, and the remaining work is routine pipeline maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Which of these 8 firms explicitly list Microsoft Fabric in your directory?

Only EY lists Microsoft Fabric by name in our records. The other seven firms - Celebal Technologies, DataArt, Devoteam, Kanerika Inc, ProCogia, Wipro, and XenonStack - list Azure, Power BI, or Azure Synapse capability, which forms the foundation Fabric consolidates, but not a stated Fabric practice.

What’s the smallest project these firms will take on?

Kanerika Inc and XenonStack list minimum project sizes of $10K+. Celebal Technologies and ProCogia list $25K+. DataArt and Devoteam list $50K+. Wipro lists $100K+, and EY lists $200K+, reflecting its Big Four compliance and finance-transformation focus.

Does the DP-600 Fabric Analytics Engineer certification matter for hiring a consultant?

It can, if certified individual expertise is a requirement. DP-600 (Microsoft Certified: Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate) became generally available May 7, 2024. Our directory does not track which consultants or firms hold it - verify directly through Microsoft’s Fabric partner directory before you shortlist a firm on that basis.

How many firms in your directory offer Azure services overall?

70 of the 86 firms profiled in our directory list Azure capability, and 21 list Power BI. The 8 above are a subset selected for this guide because their stack maps most closely to Fabric’s building blocks; browse the full Data Engineering Companies Index to see the rest.
