Experience The Lilien Difference
Celebrating 27 years in the business, Lilien brings unsurpassed commitment, technical expertise and business vision to each and every customer. These benefits are a direct result of the founder's values and business acumen, and have led to Lilien's leadership position among IT VARs in the Western U.S.
Since 1984, when Geoffrey Lilien began delivering database installations and support services, the company has remained committed to our customers for the long term. As demand dictated, Geoffrey expanded his focus to include outfitting the entire data center, and in 1991, forged a strong partnership with HP (and subsequently Digital and Compaq). We are proud to be able to call on resources from the largest IT company in the world as well as other leading manufacturers to best serve our customers.
As Lilien grew into the enterprise space, so did our business vision - Lilien's solutions focus on business objectives as well as the technology. We optimize TCO by recognizing how a business benefits from their infrastructure, incorporating their current resources, and building in flexibility for future growth and change. Our customers value our approach, as reflected by our high rate of repeat business and long-term relationships.
As Geoffrey expanded his business, he found a key ingredient to his customer orientation was to employ the best people. When you interact with Lilien, you'll find competence, creativity and reliability, whether you are working with our account managers, inside representatives, architects or engineers. At Lilien, we foster an environment of continuous improvement and innovation - our team has earned the best set of technology certifications in our region. Lilien holds advanced partnership status with the leading vendors in IT infrastructure; examples include HP Elite Partner, Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, CommVault Platinum Partner, and VMware Enterprise Partner.
Lilien’s growth and success has been documented in recent years by CRN/VAR Business: On the heels of being named to CRN’s 2010 Fast Growth list, Lilien has now been included in CRN's inaugural Tech Elite 250 for 2011. According to CRN, "this is a definitive list of VARs with deep technical expertise and premier certifications in the data center market. The list was developed by CRN editors and is based on the level and depth of technical certifications from EMC, IBM, Cisco, VMware, Citrix, Microsoft, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Symantec and NetApp. These 250 VARs are best-of-breed integrators who have invested in technical know-how and premier/platinum certifications in the areas of data centers and infrastructure." Lilien is also a regular member of CRN's VAR500, including the 2011 list, which ranks the top technology integrators in North America.
Lilien is often recognized for thought leadership and performance; for 2009, Lilien was recognized as the Top Partner for HP Storage Sales in a nationwide field by Avnet, the largest distributor of technology products in the U.S. For 2008, Lilien was honored with Avnet's Innovation Award and VARBusiness' Best Partnership Award, for our collaboration with HP on delivering customer value.
