Who we work with

Three common starting points. Same destination: technology working for the business.

No IT today

You’re running without a provider

Growing past the point where ad-hoc fixes work. We’ll get the basics in - identity, devices, security, backups - without overhauling everything at once.

Provider, but stuck

You have IT, but you need more

Tickets get answered but nothing improves. You need real cybersecurity, a strategy that fits your business, or a partner who looks past the helpdesk queue.

In-house IT

You have a team, but they’re stretched

Your IT person or team owns day-to-day, but escalations, projects, after-hours and cybersecurity uplift need backup. We augment without taking over.

Switching IT providers

We do the switch.

We run the handover from your current provider.

Getting started

From first call to supported in 2 to 6 weeks

We collect access and documentation from your current provider, document and secure your environment, then support your team every day. How long depends on your size and the current state of your IT, and we tell you what we need at each step.

Common questions

What does Lucente do?
We provide Managed IT, Cybersecurity, AI Enablement, Purpose-Built Software and IT Projects for small and medium businesses across Perth and Western Australia. Managed IT is one package, Protect+, priced per user.
How much does managed IT cost?
Protect+ is $150 per standard user per month ex GST, with a minimum of 20 standard users and a 12-month minimum term. Email-only users are from $50 a month. It includes unlimited phone and remote support, 24/7 monitoring, endpoint security, Microsoft 365 management, cloud backup and Essential Eight alignment. See the full list on our pricing page.
What size businesses do you work with?
WA businesses with 20 or more standard users, meaning staff with a managed PC or laptop. Email-only users don't count towards the minimum. If you have 10 or more people and are growing, or a big appetite for technology such as AI Enablement or Purpose-Built Software, get in touch and we may still be able to help.
Do you only support Perth businesses?
Lucente is Perth-headquartered and Western Australia focused. We support customers across Perth and Western Australia, and extend the same team and standards to interstate operations where our WA customers need it.
Can we buy a project or AI Enablement without Protect+?
AI Enablement, Purpose-Built Software and IT Projects are normally add-ons for Protect+ customers, priced separately. Long-term project engagements, retained engagements and longer AI programs are the exception: we take those on selectively, with or without Protect+. Any business can buy the AI Receptionist, AI & Claude Training or an Essential Eight assessment.
How does switching from our current provider work?
We run the handover. We coordinate with your outgoing provider, collect access and documentation, review the environment, onboard devices, configure security and introduce your staff to our support. You don't need to project-manage the switch. See switching IT providers.
How long does onboarding take, and is there a fee?
Onboarding takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on your size and the current state of your IT. A one-off onboarding fee applies, set by team size and complexity and confirmed in your quote. It includes the onsite visit. See how onboarding works.
How quickly will you get back to us?
We reply to every enquiry within 1 business day. If you ask for a quote, the proposal follows within 2 business days.
