IT Project Management & Delivery
Once we’ve designed a solution and procured all its elements, we can make sure the Project Delivery team complete our commitment to your organisation with minimum disruption and downtime.

Excellent Project Delivery is critical to organisational success. We believe that for a project to succeed, its objectives and scope must be adequately defined and captured. That is why we always take the time to get to know your business first. As soon as we fully understand your needs and objectives, our consultants and solution architects will produce a detailed Statement of Work that will be critical to the project management. An ongoing dialogue between you and the project manager is essential if the project is to be successful. This is especially important if changes are required; there may be a legitimate need to change the objectives, in which case we will work closely with you to determine what needs to be done.
Our project managers are all Prince 2 certified, both at the foundation and practitioner level, and have been running successful IT projects for many years. Whilst we understand that Prince 2 is generally unpopular with project managers, we have adapted and simplified it to allow us to develop our own methodology. By keeping what works and dispensing with what doesn’t, our tailored version of Prince 2 has enabled us to successfully deliver projects on time and on budget.
Once we have designed your IT solution and procured all its elements, we will make sure it is rolled out to your organisation with minimum disruption. Our Project Delivery service will provide all the necessary staff to get the job done quickly and efficiently, working with you to fit around your work processes and schedules.
We have our own in-house training lab which gives us the time and opportunity to train our engineers on the Standard Operating Procedures and Reference Architectures specific to your project. This enables everyone working on your system to become comfortable and familiar with the tasks they have been assigned.
We have a spacious project-build area at our Hemel Hempstead site. This provides us with the ideal environment in which to build, test and deploy all the elements needed to ensure your project is successful.
We will prepare and install your systems, including asset tagging, recording them in the register, soak testing, and commissioning. Finally, we will prepare everything for shipment to and deployment on your site.
The value of preparing your projects off-site is that our Project Delivery engineers are confident of installing ready-to-go products that can be rapidly brought into service. Our engineers take pride in their craftsmanship and quality of work, ensuring that the solutions they deploy are fully tested and signed off.
In addition, they will always be smartly dressed in our company uniform and when they leave your site, they will make sure no mess is left behind and, where appropriate will take away all the packaging.
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.

We worked with Lumina on a GDPR Audit. Richard was knowledgeable and professional throughout, and did the best he could to bring a dry topic to life through lots of real life examples and analogies. We were so impressed with the service Lumina provided and the value we got from partnering with them on this project – we couldn’t recommend them enough.

Hawkstone Management Services Ltd is a small company for which IT Outsourcing is realistically the only viable option. Lumina Technologies have successfully performed this role for over fifteen years. They also provide innovative solutions to keep pace with technological progress. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lumina to similar sized businesses.

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.
