You bought Power BI and the dashboards are still in Excel

Four things that happen when the license arrives before the plan.

  1. 01

    You pay for licenses no one uses

    Someone bought Pro for the whole department and only three people publish reports. Everyone else just views them, and that doesn't always take a paid license.

  2. 02

    The dashboard falls to whoever is closest to the data

    It usually lands on the analyst with the heaviest workload, and the result is a file someone updates by hand every Monday.

  3. 03

    Every department brings its own version of the truth

    Sales presents one number and Finance presents another, and the meeting is spent reconciling figures.

  4. 04

    No one knows who to call

    The report won't refresh, the gateway is down and the ticket with Microsoft has gone two days without a reply.

Power BI licensing: Free, Pro and Premium per user

Each license unlocks something different: building reports for yourself or publishing them for the whole company.

Power BI Free

For people who only explore their data

  • Connect data and build reports for personal use.
  • Can't share reports with other users.
  • Can view colleagues' reports if the company has Fabric F64 capacity or higher.

Power BI Pro

For people who publish and share

  • Subscription per user per month.
  • Publish reports and collaborate with other Pro users.
  • Already included in Microsoft 365 E5, so check before you buy.
  • It's the license your data team needs, which is rarely the whole company.

Premium per user

For large models and fresh data

  • Subscription per user per month.
  • Models up to 100 GB and 48 refreshes a day.
  • Everything in Pro, plus features that used to require dedicated capacity.
  • Sharing with free users requires Fabric capacity.

From the license to the first dashboard: Power BI implementation

Two separate items, quoted separately: the licenses and the hours to build the dashboards.

We count who creates and who only views

We review how many people publish reports and how many only view them. That gives you the number of Pro licenses you really need, which is almost never your headcount.

We activate the licenses on your tenant

You buy the licenses through our Microsoft CSP agreement, with billing in USD. Your users sign in with the same account they use for email.

Dashboards are quoted by the hour

Data modeling and dashboards are contracted as a block of consulting hours, starting at 5 hours. You know how many hours each dashboard takes before we start.

Your first call is with us

As a CSP partner, we're your first line of support for licensing. If the problem is on Microsoft's side, we escalate it and keep you posted.

The same license, two ways to buy it

The license is the same through any channel. What changes is what happens after you buy.

On your own, online

You pay by card on Microsoft's portal

  • You choose the plan with no one reviewing how many licenses you actually use.
  • License changes and renewals are yours to manage in the admin center.
  • Licensing support goes through Microsoft's general channel.
  • Building the dashboards waits until someone on your team has time.

With TecnetOne, a CSP partner

You buy through our agreement with Microsoft

  • We review with you who publishes and who only views before we quote.
  • Billing in USD, with license changes handled by our team.
  • We're your first line of support and we escalate to Microsoft for you.
  • The hours to build the dashboards are quoted in the same conversation.

A Power BI consulting partner, not a license store

We're a Microsoft CSP partner and an ISO 27001 certified company.

 

Power BI consulting by the hour

Consulting blocks start at 5 hours and you use them where you need them: data modeling, dashboards or getting the gateway running.

 

Your data is also a security matter

We set up access permissions on your reports with the same approach we use to protect identities and devices.

 

Works with what you already use

Power BI runs on the same tenant as your Microsoft 365 licenses, so users sign in with their usual account.

 

One provider for cloud and data

If your data lives in Azure or AWS environments that we manage, the dashboard connects with no new intermediaries.

NEO answers common questions about Power BI

Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence tool: it turns data into interactive reports and dashboards. It connects to sources such as Excel, SQL Server, SharePoint or cloud services, refreshes the information automatically and publishes the results to the Power BI service, where the rest of the company views them from a browser or a phone. It's licensed per user per month, and companies can buy it through a Microsoft CSP partner like TecnetOne.

Power BI is billed as a subscription per user per month, and the amount depends on the plan: Pro for people who publish reports and Premium per user for large data models. The free license lets you build reports for personal use but not share them. At TecnetOne, we first count how many people publish and how many only view, because that's where the cost difference is. Dashboards are quoted separately as consulting hours, and quotes come in USD.

Pro lets you publish and share reports with other Pro users. Premium per user adds data models up to 100 GB, up to 48 refreshes a day and the features that used to exist only with dedicated capacity. If people with a free license need to view the reports, Premium per user isn't enough: that takes Microsoft Fabric capacity F64 or higher.

Microsoft stopped selling Power BI Premium P capacities to new customers, and Microsoft Fabric capacities took their place, purchased as a reserved F SKU or pay-as-you-go. If you have an active P capacity today, we help you work out which Fabric size matches what you use before anything moves.

It depends on where the reports live. If the workspace is on Fabric capacity F64 or higher, users with a free license can view them. Without that capacity, every person who opens a shared report needs their own Pro license. That calculation is usually what changes the cost of a project, and we do it before we quote.

The people who publish and share reports need Pro, or Premium per user if they work with large models or frequent refreshes. People who only view reports need Pro too, unless the reports live on Fabric capacity F64 or higher. Check Microsoft 365 E5 first: it already includes Pro. We map who creates and who views before we quote, so you only license what's used.

The license gives you the tool, and we activate it on your company's tenant. Data modeling and dashboard development are contracted as a block of consulting hours, starting at 5 hours, with the scope defined before we start. We keep them separate so you know what you pay for software and what you pay for work.

Yes. We can handle only the consulting on the licenses you already have, or move your subscription to our CSP agreement at the next renewal so billing and support run through TecnetOne. Either way, we first review your license count in case you're paying for more than you use.

Yes. We license Power BI and deliver consulting for companies in the United States and Latin America, in English and Spanish. US customers get licensing support on extended hours that cover US time zones, and we escalate to Microsoft when a case needs it.
