About
Lumensoft Networks was built to bridge two industry gaps its founder experienced from the buyer’s side. Everything about how the company is structured follows from that.
Why the company exists
After more than a decade in enterprise networking—ending as Director of Enterprise Architecture & Compliance at a major U.S. transportation organization—Our Founder experienced two persistent gaps from the buyer's perspective.
Finding qualified network engineers often meant screening candidates who looked strong on paper but couldn't demonstrate the technical depth the role required, leaving senior engineers to perform the technical validation the staffing firm was expected to provide. At the same time, many consulting engagements naturally centered on the technologies the provider delivered, rather than starting with the organization's operational goals.
Neither reflects poor intent. They are outcomes of how the industry is structured. Staffing firms specialize in recruiting, not engineering. Service providers build practices around the platforms they implement. Lumensoft Networks was founded in 2024 to bridge both gaps by combining technical leadership with engineering delivery.
Common questions
We do not publish headcount. If a requirement exceeds what we can staff to the standard we hold, you will be told during the discovery call rather than after a contract is signed.
Because the relevant experience predates the company. The delivery record — a 42-location, 8,100-user PBX replacement and a 10,000+ user migration with 911 continuity preserved — reflects work led before Lumensoft existed. The company is new; the engineering behind it is not.
Solution Architect Validated™ is a defined process rather than one person's calendar, and engagements are staffed with named delivery ownership. The practice carries more than one Solution Architect, and the work is assigned rather than owned — if the architect on your engagement becomes unavailable, another picks it up from the same written assessment. Founder involvement is by exception on enterprise-scale accounts.
Yes. Lumensoft Networks CORP is a US entity headquartered in Spokane, Washington, serving clients nationwide.
Routinely. Most engagements sit alongside an incumbent and own one specific function while the incumbent keeps everything else.
