495: Do You Really Need Fabric?

from Explicit Measures Podcast · host PowerBI.Tips

Mike & Tommy dive into Microsoft Fabric licensing strategy, questioning whether organizations actually need Fabric or are falling into the same over-provisioning trap as Power BI Premium. Drawing on Blake Edwards' client savings case studies, they explore F64 thresholds, hidden costs, and practical optimization tactics that separate smart capacity decisions from expensive assumptions.
