Practical IT consultancy that helps you get more from the tools you already use

Get more from your technology with practical IT consultancy tailored to your organisation.

Whether you're looking to improve Microsoft 365, streamline processes, analyse data, build reports, or make better use of the technology you already have, our experienced consultants can help.

At Jarrold Training, we provide practical, hands-on consultancy to help organisations solve problems, deliver projects and improve the way they work. From developing Power BI dashboards and automating tasks to optimising Microsoft 365 and advising on the right solutions, we work alongside your team to achieve measurable results.

While training is often the best way to develop long-term capability, there are times when bringing in specialist expertise is the fastest and most effective solution. Whether you need to resolve a specific challenge, complete a one-off project, meet a critical deadline or make informed decisions about technology, our consultants provide the knowledge and support to help you move forward with confidence.

When consultancy can help

When time is limited
Most people can solve most problems given enough time, but work time has a business cost. Taking time away from your usual role often does not mean the work disappears — it simply builds up elsewhere.
Consultancy allows you to keep business as usual moving while getting focused help with the problem or project.

When specialist knowledge is needed
Some problems are difficult to solve efficiently without the right experience. If a task is complex, unfamiliar or technically demanding, it can be more effective to bring in someone who already understands the tools, the options and the likely pitfalls.

The right support can make a difficult project much easier to complete.

When there is a tight deadline
Deadlines often create pressure, especially when the work is important but unfamiliar. Consultancy can help you make faster progress, avoid unnecessary trial and error, and deliver a better result in less time.

When the project is a one off
There is little benefit in spending a long time learning something you are unlikely to need again. If the task is unusual or only needs to be completed once, it may be more cost-effective to bring in someone with existing knowledge and experience.

When you need confidence in change
Sometimes it helps to have someone external review a process, advise on an approach, or support the implementation of a change. An outside perspective can provide reassurance that decisions are being made objectively and with the right outcomes in mind.

What can we help with?

We specialise in Microsoft technologies and the wider Microsoft 365 ecosystem, helping organisations get more value from the tools they already own.

Most organisations we work with already use Microsoft applications and services, including Excel, Word, Power BI, Power Apps and Power Automate. Often, the functionality needed to solve a business challenge is already available through existing Microsoft 365 licences.

Whether you need to automate a process, analyse data, create reports or improve the way your team works, we can help you make the most of the technology you already have.

Typical consultancy projects include:

• Microsoft 365 optimisation
• Excel solutions and automation
• Power BI dashboards and reporting
• Power Apps
• Power Automate
• Data collection and analysis
• Process improvement
• Documentation and reporting
• Choosing the right Microsoft tools for the task

The best solution isn't always the application you're most familiar with. Sometimes Excel is the right answer, while in other situations Microsoft Forms, Power Apps or Power BI will provide a more efficient and scalable solution. We help you select the right technology for your needs.

Ongoing Costs
Being based in the world of training, not only do we like solving problems but we like to ensure that our customers can maintain the solution. From your perspective you don’t want to become dependent on an external company to maintain a solution as this incurs ongoing costs. Maintaining and perhaps developing the solution in-house makes perfect business sense.

Consultancy that builds capability

Our background is in training, so our goal isn't to make you dependent on us.

Where possible, we design solutions that your team can understand, maintain and develop themselves. This reduces ongoing support costs while giving your organisation greater confidence and control. Consultancy often leads to targeted training, ensuring your team can continue building on the solutions we create together.

Why choose Jarrold Training?

With over 30 years of IT training and consultancy experience, and as part of the wider Jarrold Group, we combine technical expertise with a reputation built on more than 250 years of trust and exceptional customer service.

We believe in practical advice, realistic solutions and long-term value.

If you have an IT challenge, need better reporting, want to improve a business process or feel you're not getting the most from Microsoft 365, we'd love to talk.

There's no obligation, just an initial conversation to understand your requirements and recommend the most appropriate solution, whether that's consultancy, training or a combination of both.

Every organisation is different, and we enjoy finding the solution that's right for yours.
