Luetschine has been instrumental in helping us disentangle from our legacy global carrier that was difficult to work with.  They provided an invaluable service in ensuring all disconnects and credits were completed correctly and they helped smooth the transition over to our new carrier.  They followed through on all action items until resolved to our satisfaction.

Over the past ten years I have worked on several different projects in a service provider environment with the owner for Luetschine Consulting, Ray, and have always found him to be an extremely valuable team member.  Ray has an uncommon, often spectacular, breadth and depth of industry knowledge.  Recently Ray was assigned as lead architect in a redesign of our global service delivery network. Early on in the project Ray and I met multiple times allowing me ample opportunity to describe the legacy network design, to communicate future network requirements, and, to reach agreement on design strategy.  During the design phase of the project Ray continually communicated status and shared iterations of what was eventually to become the Logical Technology Model (LTM) and Physical Technology Model (PTM) documents.  These impressive documents described in detail the approach, the technologies and finally the actual device configurations we used to migrate from the legacy architecture to the new design.  Early on in the implementation phase Ray was always available to respond to our questions but we soon realized all the necessary information for a successful migration was included in the LTM and PTM.  I have always enjoyed working with Ray and know that with each engagement I learn something I didn’t know before.  I look forward to our next project together.

Ray, the owner of Luetschine Consulting, is without a doubt the sharpest person I’ve had the privilege to work with. I’ve learned an immense amount from him over the years and generally learn something new every time I talk to him. Aside from his first rate technical knowledge, he has an incredible grasp of international business and the inner workings of large corporations.

Ray, the owner of Luetschine Consulting, is the most technically knowledgeable and skillful network Architect/Engineer that I have known in over a 50 year career in Information Technology. His open-minded approach to problem solving permits him to quickly assess a problem or opportunity and then to apply his creativity and technical knowledge in architecting and designing innovative, robust, and cost-effective solutions. I worked with Ray closely over a 5-6 year period while we were both independent contractors at a mid size enterprise in the educational industry. I was acting Chief Technologist/Chief Architect and Ray was leading Telecommunications Architect/Engineer. During that period, we transitioned the entire enterprise from traditional PBXs to an enterprise scale VoIP telephone system, as well as re-architected and transitioned the enterprise IP address space from limited and confining public address blocks to an elegantly flexible and secure coherent private address space. The latter freed up the valuable public addresses for more appropriate use, and at the same time laid the ground work for a zone-based security architecture which Ray also designed. I would recommend Ray, without reservation, for a leadership role in any enterprise level telecommunications Architecture/Engineering program/project.

Luetschine Consulting has been our first string for network architecture. They provide technically superior networking solutions for new global implementations, our legacy site upgrades, and custom system applications while adhering to strict security requirements. Luetschine Consulting considers the business goals, financial budgets, schedule and long-term strategic impact of each design alternative and provide a unique blend of complete technical and business evaluation which they present to company executives to assist their decision-making.  As an example when our company began to expand, we needed network architect talent for a major headquarters move of ~7000 employees into six yet to be built buildings across town. The scope included a re-design of metro-network, Internet access, building LAN, a 10K sq. ft., data center, network security and later a disaster recovery site. Luetschine Consulting LLC,’s lead architect was engaged to develop the specifications, help select vendors, and architect the entire network and guide the implementation while upgrading our 40 global sites around the world. Through Luetschine Consulting involvement, understanding the business and functional requirements and leadership, the buildings were delivered on time. Part of the design initiated by Luetschine was a transition plan allowing the seamless transition of nearly 700 servers from the old data center to the new data center over a year period as people moved.
