What Technology Concepts Group International does

Technology Concepts Group International (TCGi) is a privately held, woman- and minority-owned IT advisory and procurement solutions firm headquartered in Iselin, New Jersey, founded in 2008 by Avis Yates Rivers. The company operates four integrated lines of business: Procurement Solutions (tail spend management, AI-powered spend analysis, diverse supplier utilization using a proprietary ABCD matrix), Value Added Reseller services (hardware and software resale, enhanced by the 2018 acquisition of BigVAR), Professional Services (IT and management consulting, cloud migration, automation), and Cybersecurity Protection delivered through the Lunaris sub-brand (an all-in-one subscription cybersecurity platform with per-seat pricing of $38-$76/user/month and an optional 24/7 Managed SOC).

TCGi's business model blends project-based professional services and procurement advisory engagements with low-margin hardware/software resale and a newer recurring SaaS revenue stream via Lunaris. Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales for advisory and VAR engagements; a strategic partnership with Connection (a major IT distributor) for co-selling; and a two-tier affiliate/reseller program for Lunaris targeting MSPs and IT service providers. Pricing is quote-based for enterprise/professional services work and publicly disclosed per-seat monthly for Lunaris bundles.

The company serves a mix of enterprise clients across utilities (American Water), healthcare (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia), government (Department of Veterans Affairs), insurance (Chubb), and financial services (Depository Trust Corporation), alongside SMB cybersecurity buyers via Lunaris. TCGi holds NMSDC Certified Minority Business Enterprise and CyberReadyMBE credentials, which function as a structural channel advantage in DEI-driven procurement. The company is small (11-50 employees), privately held, discloses no revenue, has no observed institutional funding, and is led by a long-tenured executive team with 25+ years of enterprise IT experience.
