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.

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.
