Company Overview

LJP Consulting was originally founded in 1997, and began business as a Sole Proprietorship providing IT Services.  We have since grown our capabilities and evolved our business model. 

Today, LJP Consulting prides itself in operating via 5 Dedicated Partner Agreements with Best of Breed Vendors in their respective fields of expertise. Through this focused Vendor model, we deliver Significant Value to our Customers.

From simple ad-hoc purchases to the advanced interoperability of total IT infrastructure solutions, LJP Consulting provides a single point of contact for effective, cost efficient Technology Services from IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, MessageLabs and Lenovo. Via our focused Partnerships, we are able to leverage aggressive product pricing and co-opt our Partners in jointly delivered solutions, for the benefit of our customers.

Product Segmentation

LJP Consulting is built on the assumption that the management of Information Technology for Business is like legal advice, accounting, and other bodies of knowledge, in that it is not inherently a 'box dropping exercise'. LJP Consulting thus serves its Customers as a Trusted Advisor, providing them with the loyalty of a Business Partner whilst maintaining the economics of an outside Vendor.

Proven Solutions

Many of our customer’s Information Applications are mission critical, so we have first hand knowledge on how to run IT systems as well as possible, with maximum efficiency and reliability.
