Fractional Microsoft consulting services for .NET Core MVC, Web API, SQL Server, SharePoint, Power Platform, and business data systems.

JEL Consulting provides fractional consulting support for organizations that need Microsoft expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire. The firm helps teams with part-time leadership, development, implementation, and support across SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, .NET, SQL Server, data integration, and reporting.

Fractional .NET & SQL development

.NET Core MVC & Web API

JEL Consulting develops business-facing web applications that streamline repetitive work and improve access to data. This includes:

  • .NET Core MVC applications for internal workflows
  • Web API services for data exchange and automation
  • Excel import tools that move spreadsheet data into SQL Server
  • Self-service applications for reporting, validation, and data capture
  • Secure, role-aware solutions that reduce manual processing

These tools are often designed to replace spreadsheet-heavy processes with a more reliable and auditable system.

SQL Server, ETL, and reporting support

  • SQL Server database design and performance tuning
  • SSIS packages for large-scale data movement and ETL
  • Reporting data workflows and operational dashboards
  • Backup/recovery planning and resiliency support
  • Role-based access and secure data handling

This work is especially valuable for organizations that need dependable data flows and reporting without building a large internal data team.

SharePoint & Microsoft 365

JEL Consulting supports organizations with SharePoint consulting for both on-premises and Microsoft 365 environments. Services include:

  • SharePoint migrations and upgrade planning
  • SharePoint Online and on-prem administration
  • SPFx custom web parts and site enhancements
  • Governance, document control, and information architecture
  • Collaboration solutions that connect business processes to Microsoft 365

Whether the need is a migration, a new modern experience, or a more structured governance model, the work is designed to support business operations and reduce ongoing administrative friction.

Power Platform & Power BI

Organizations use Power Platform to automate business work and give teams the tools they need to act on information faster. JEL Consulting can help with:

  • Power Apps for business process simplification
  • Power Automate workflow automation
  • Power BI reporting and dashboard design
  • Data cleanup and integration from multiple systems
  • Low-code solutions that connect users to operational data

This approach often reduces manual steps, shortens response times, and creates a more transparent view of key metrics.

Data & process improvement

Many client engagements start with a process that is too dependent on spreadsheets, manual updates, or fragmented systems. JEL Consulting helps teams turn that work into more controlled, scalable solutions.

Typical outcomes include:

  • fewer support tickets and less spreadsheet triage
  • faster data imports and decision-making
  • cleaner reporting with fewer manual errors
  • smoother workflows for staff, faculty, and administrators
  • more reliable systems for student, operational, and administrative processes

Higher education and enterprise clients

A significant portion of JEL Consulting’s work is in higher education and enterprise settings where systems need to support both operational continuity and growth. This includes:

  • student information workflow support
  • reporting and data imports for enrollment and financial processes
  • document and collaboration system modernization
  • secure internal tools for departments and teams
  • flexible consulting support that complements existing IT resources

Engagement model

JEL Consulting works as a fractional partner, which means clients can bring in expert help on a part-time, project-based, or ongoing basis. This model is well suited for organizations that need Microsoft consulting support but do not require a full-time employee or a large implementation team.

If you need a Microsoft 365 consultant, SharePoint consultant, Power Platform developer, SQL Server consultant, or .NET Core developer with practical business experience, JEL Consulting can help.
