Experience The Lilien Difference
Celebrating 25 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 the best technology certifications in the industry and holds the distinction of being an HP Elite Partner, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, and a VMware Authorized Consultant and Enterprise Partner.

Since 2005, Lilien has doubled in employees, quadrupled in revenue and twice made VARBusiness Magazine’s list of 50 fastest growing VARs (nationwide). We have expanded from our roots in Marin County, CA to include offices in Bellevue, WA and Honolulu, HI. Lilien is regularly recognized for thought leadership and performance; for 2008, Lilien has been honored with Avnet’s Innovation Award and VARBusiness’ Best Partnership Award, for our collaboration with HP on delivering customer value.
