Optomi is hosting its annual charitable Opt-to-Give event, making a significant impact in communities nationwide on the anniversary of the business being established. On November 5th, the company’s employees go out into their communities to spend the workday serving charitable organizations. Dedication to its people and their local communities and compassion for those in need are central to the mission of Optomi.
In only its second year of business, Optomi now has a presence in seven locations throughout the U.S. including Atlanta (Optomi headquarters), Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Orange County, Baltimore and Detroit. Optomi’s employees, now 55 strong, will be significantly impacting families and children on Opt-to-Give Day. “We’re delighted that our unprecedented growth in these first two years is enabling us to have an increasingly meaningful influence with our charitable efforts in the communities we operate in”, added Michael Winwood, Optomi CEO.
During last year’s event, with just 20 people, Optomi employees packed 11,000 lbs of food for those in need, helped feed over 18,000 kids and helped renovate a home for children ages 8-18 with their efforts. On November 5, 2014, over 50 employees will be feeding children, mentoring underprivileged kids, beautifying family shelters & schools and helping build a home. The organizations Optomi will be serving are: East Atlanta Kids Club, Parks and People Franklin School, Good Elementary School, Family Shelter Service and Habitat for Humanity. “We’re giving back in a tangible way because it is important to Optomi that we impact our communities. It’s one of the core beliefs of the company”, remarked Todd Black, Optomi COO.

Employee reluctance to adopt ServiceNow, driven by a lack of understanding and confidence in navigating its features, resulted in a significant decline in the client’s productivity and operational efficiency. Facing an urgent need to effectively implement ServiceNow, the client partnered with Optomi Professional Services (OPS) to devise a strategy to seamlessly integrate the platform into employees’ daily workflows.
Optomi Professional Services (OPS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Carey Luhn as the organization's Vice President of Strategic Accounts. In this role, Luhn will be responsible for creating development strategies aligned to enterprise partners with a focus on growing adoption of the unified suite of OPS service offerings.
A leading healthcare insurance company experienced several challenges with their Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) module due to the extensive customizations made during the initial implementation. While originally intended to meet specific needs, these customizations deviated significantly from standard configurations, leading to system inefficiencies, maintenance difficulties, and issues with platform upgrades. The client engaged Optomi Professional Services (OPS) to address these issues head-on.
A Fortune 150 financial services institution faced significant setbacks due to a stalled Vulnerability Response implementation utilizing the ServiceNow platform. The lack of industry expertise from the selected implementation partner resulted in the inability to move any code to production after months of attempts. ServiceNow was a newly implemented platform for the organization, leading to internal confusion, skepticism, limited adoption, and an inability to automate, orchestrate, or build new functions.
A mobility, Big Data, and Cloud Intelligence company struggled with finding local, on-site resources to deliver cutting-edge connected products. The client required skilled software engineers and product delivery resources with experience in mature agile/Scrum methodology within a production environment to transform the automotive industry.
A leading global provider of digital commerce solutions for retailers and restaurants struggled to keep pace with new feature demands in the face of strong and innovative new entrants into the highly competitive POS market. The client originally outsourced several development squads to a large, renowned global IT consulting firm that was extremely expensive and grappled to deliver efficiently. With a need to improve new feature delivery velocity and volume for one of their flagship products, the client engaged Optomi Professional Services (OPS) to address their budget and capacity constraints head-on.
Optomi Professional Services (OPS) is pleased to announce the addition of Blake Guyton as the company's Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).
