Emerline implemented governed Self-Service Analytics using Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, allowing the client's business users to independently explore curated data and gain insights. Our solution significantly accelerated decision-making and reduced the burden on the client's IT department while maintaining strict control over data quality, security, and compliance.
Microsoft-Powered Success Stories
We have delivered Microsoft-powered initiatives across industries, from Fabric-based self-service analytics to Azure platform audits and unified BI foundations. Explore the case studies below to review delivery scope and outcomes.

Unified Power BI and Azure Analytics Platform
We deployed a unified analytics platform powered by Power BI and Azure, integrating fragmented global data. This resulted in a 2.5% increase in operating profit and an annual reduction of $4 million in losses.

Technical Audit of a Microsoft Azure Platform
Emerline performed an in-depth audit of the core platform and Azure infrastructure. We uncovered critical stability flaws and technology risk (unsupported .NET Core 3.1), delivering an actionable roadmap of 20+ recommendations to stabilize operations and initiate long-term modernization.
Why Choose Emerline for Microsoft Fabric Consulting Service
Architecture and operating model definition
We define target-state architecture, semantic standards, and ownership boundaries early to reduce metric drift, rework, and uncontrolled proliferation of analytics assets.
Governance integrated into implementation
Access policies, lineage requirements, and audit-oriented controls are treated as baseline requirements across build, migration, and rollout activities.
Modern Fabric stack coverage
OneLake design, lakehouse and warehouse modeling, orchestration patterns, and BI performance considerations are addressed as a single integrated implementation scope.
Production engineering discipline
Release governance, validation practices, and environment separation are applied to analytics assets to sustain reliability beyond pilots and proofs of concept.
Capacity and cost accountability
Capacity planning, workload isolation, and utilization controls are aligned to demand profiles, supporting performance targets under predictable spend.
Operational enablement and handover
Delivery includes the operational artifacts required for steady-state ownership: documented standards, semantic conventions, and an operating handover model for ongoing governance.
Awards and Recognitions
Key Considerations for Microsoft Fabric Consulting Engagements
We have gathered the questions most frequently raised during Microsoft Fabric planning and delivery discussions. The answers address scoping, estimation inputs, governance, cutover risk, and capacity utilization.
Trusted Microsoft Fabric Consulting Company
As a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner, we provide Microsoft Fabric consulting that combines advisory discipline with implementation support spanning OneLake, lakehouse architecture, and semantic layer design. We address typical adoption constraints, such as target-state ambiguity, inconsistent metrics, and control gaps, by establishing security and access controls, standardizing ingestion and transformation practices, and formalizing lineage and ownership for curated data products.

The Essential Elements of Microsoft Fabric
OneLake: The foundation
- Unified data foundation for Fabric workloads and shared access patterns
- Shortcuts support controlled reuse without proliferating physical copies
- Establishes consistent boundaries for ownership, access, and audit oversight
- Reduces fragmentation across domains by standardizing how data is organized
- Supports mirroring to reduce extraction overhead and keep operational data access aligned with governance
Lakehouse: The architecture
- Primary pattern for data products that require both engineering flexibility and analytics consumption
- Supports curated layering and standardized transformation conventions
- Integrates cleanly with ingestion and orchestration surfaces such as Data Pipelines and Dataflows Gen2
- Sets up downstream BI paths that depend on stable, governed tables
Spark: The engine
- Distributed compute for large-scale transformations, feature preparation, and complex processing
- Executed through notebooks and scheduled runs aligned to operational controls
- Supports repeatability via parameterization, validation steps, and orchestration integration
- Provides tuning levers that influence performance and capacity utilization
Direct Lake: The “fast track” for BI
- Low-latency BI access path over OneLake-managed tables, reducing import and refresh overhead
- Improves responsiveness for larger models when semantic design and concurrency are managed
- Lowers operational friction by minimizing data movement in common BI scenarios
- Works best with disciplined semantic modeling and lifecycle governance
Power BI: The front end
- Semantic models standardize metrics, KPIs, and business logic across reports
- Enables governed self-service through certification patterns and workspace controls
- Supports controlled release practices through deployment pipelines and versioned changes
- Aligns stakeholders on consistent reporting assets and reusable measures
Copilot: The AI partner
- AI assistance across analysis and authoring, constrained by user permissions and governance rules
- Quality depends on semantic structure, metadata hygiene, and curated datasets
- Benefits from standardized definitions that reduce ambiguity in natural-language interaction
- Requires oversight practices to manage exposure risk and meet compliance requirements
- Supports agent-assisted experiences, including Fabric data agents, when governed semantic assets and permission boundaries are in place

Emerline is an important part of our strategic team!
Emerline has been our technology partner since late 2012. In the early years I thought that would be a short-term gap fill until I could afford to hire my own technical team in the US. But they have consistently met the demands of our growing company and helped us build what we believe is the industry's best solution option. Emerline provides high quality work, so much so that our platform's reliability and accuracy has been mentioned by our largest customer's internal vendor survey repeatedly. The individuals we work with aren't just contractors, they are an important part of our strategic Team and we enjoy working with them every day!

My experience with Emerline has been great
The team was hired to design and develop the Echospectra mobile and web applications, as well as to integrate them with a variety of cloud services. A critical requirement was to rapidly develop the apps in an agile manner, quickly implementing important stakeholder and user feedback as it came along, and fixing any outstanding bugs. The team managed to accommodate this kind of agile, change-driven process successfully. Thanks to their rapid development approach, we've been able to build the initial app versions and then continuously iterate on them to refine our product offering and make sure it meets and exceeds customer expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable partner who delivers on time and on budget.
