IT Procurement
As part of our IT Procurement work, we can source hardware and software on your behalf in order to create a fully integrated IT infrastructure.
Although we work closely with our suppliers, we are not affiliated with any of them. In fact, we pride ourselves on being brand agnostic, which means we will only recommend the right hardware or software for the job. And whilst we offer IT Procurement, we do not impose any requirements that you purchase technologies through us. However, we have found that because many of our clients value our experience and product knowledge, our ability to leverage pricing and the time-savings they make in not having to deal with procurement themselves, they are usually very happy for us to undertake this service.
Advantages of outsourcing procurement
In the past, we have seen examples of clients procuring their own products that either do not meet their needs, or end up being more costly to run than other technology, or are simply incompatible with their platform.
By outsourcing IT procurement to us, you can avoid such costly mistakes. We will ensure the products we supply to you are fit-for-purpose, meet your business’s needs and can be effectively supported by our service team.
Tried and tested products
Our procurement process goes beyond merely purchasing hardware and software. With hardware, we always inspect deliveries, record the purchase in your asset register, bench test it to confirm there is no damage or manufacturing defect, and handle any warranty claims or returns.
This not only saves you a lot of time, it also gives you peace of mind that you have the right equipment for your needs, it will work properly as soon as it is installed, and it is the right price for your agreed budget. And the best thing is that the whole process only requires minimal involvement from you, leaving you and your staff with more time to get on with your business.

The commercially sensitive and regulated nature of Lambert Energy Advisory’s business requires an IT provider able to maintain the highest levels of integrity and confidentiality, Lumina Technologies has consistently been unimpeachable in this regard over the nine years we have employed them.

It has been a great pleasure working with Lumina Technoligies over the past two years. They have fully committed to being involved in the local community with volunteering and with professional advice and commitment, helping many local charities along the way. As a growing company it proves that being involved in the local community is helping them attract and retain a talented workforce and I look forward to working with them well into the future.

Richard and his team are a real inspiration to anyone who meets them and I have watched Lumina’s growth over the last few years with interest and admiration. Richard has been an amazing supporter of the Hospice of St Francis, being a Gold member of the Corporate Partner Network for almost two years. He takes an active interest in the community and is passionate about his company and his town: nothing is too much trouble, he is always willing to help, to give up his time and to provide business advice when asked. Lumina is an inspiration to any company wanting to set up business in Hertfordshire.

Charles Douglas Solicitors LLP have been using Lumina Technologies for a number of years now and continue to be impressed by the technical know-how and contemporary knowledge of their senior management, who provide a timely, efficient and friendly service. Whether it is a small issue with one computer, or a strategic IT decision, they maintain a current knowledge of available technologies. Lumina are always at the other end of the phone to help resolve issues and minimise business interference. The technical knowledge of Richard and his senior team means that there has not been a problem that they can’t solve to date. I am sure we will continue to use them in the years to come.

Richard and his team at Lumina have provided Perrett Laver Limited with high quality strategic and practical IT Services for over ten years. During this period, Perrett Laver has grown from 10+ colleagues based in London to nearly 100 colleagues located in six offices across the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific. Richard and the Lumina team have not just been responsive to our ‘everyday’ IT needs, but have proactively sought to work with us on developing an infrastructure suitable for the type of operation we are today, and are planning to be months and years down the line. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard, especially for small to medium size business with growth in mind

Society Limited has been supported by Lumina Technologies since our earliest start-up phase. From large logistical challenges like an office move, through to smaller fiddly issues like fixing a faulty e-template, we know we can count on their support and advice. They’ve also been able to engage with us strategically on the challenge of scaling-up our infrastructure as the firm continues to grow and evolve. We always feel confident going to Lumina with a problem, since we know they genuinely care about sorting things out and helping us to get on with our core business.
