IT Architecture Services
Delivering IT architecture to support your business processes.
Delivering IT architecture to support your business processes.
IT Architecture is the design of information technology at the structural level. In short, like an architect designs buildings, an IT architect designs your computer systems.
IT architecture is a strategic and comprehensive model for how IT infrastructure will be used across a business to help meet its goals, and it is the primary foundation for qualities such as scalability, performance, modifiability, security and cost reduction.
IT architecture provides a framework upon which to build new systems. It is a series of principles, guidelines or rules used by a business to direct the process of acquiring, building, modifying and interfacing IT resources throughout the organisation. These resources can include equipment, software, communications, development methodologies, modelling tools and organisational structures.
Ultimately, IT architecture services give the right technical solutions to ensure your success – with minimal disruption.
Our IT architects possess technical skills in the planning, architecture and implementation of enterprise-class IT solutions and services. They have a strong business and IT background that enables them to build the architecture, and technology strategy required for hardware and networks or any IT solution. They will ensure that the underlying IT architecture delivers the capabilities required to address current and future business needs.
Lumina Technologies will manage and develop a complete IT architecture and will work with you to implement an integrated IT solution, supporting you throughout all phases of IT architecture design and system integration deployment.
The detailed information we gather from our initial consultation with you will enable us to design an IT Architecture that is bespoke to your needs. We will use this framework to build your system on the right platforms and ensure the most appropriate technical solutions are in place, including performance and storage requirements.
In order to ensure the work stays within your budget, our IT Architects are key. They will develop the most appropriate Reference Architectures that will support not only current platforms, but also those in development.
The technical specifications of our solutions are critical to ensuring that we stay within budget and within the scope of your project. We will find the right balance – ensuring that your systems have sufficient growth capability while not over-committing to unnecessary capacity.
IT development can be fast moving. In order to deliver the most appropriate technology for your requirements, we have developed close working relationships with our partner vendors, ensuring we are always up to date with their current and upcoming product ranges.
Typically an IT architecture framework is divided into four domains: business architecture, data architecture, applications architecture and technology architecture.

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.

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.

It has been a great pleasure working with Lumina Technologies 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.

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.
