How Optomi Cares
November 13, 2019
Sugar Spice and Everything Nice — I’m not a huge fan of nursery rhymes but that one has a good ring to it.
What does kindness mean to our consultant team? Kindness is what our Consultant Care team does well. That and a darn good job.
As we all know, success in business is because of the people. For us, it’s not only about the superior talent we provide our clients but also the internal OPS talent we have dedicated to making their employment with us enjoyable. And ours are the best. Helpful. Engaged. Nice.
Nice. It’s become somewhat of a lost art form in business these days. One of our Senior Data Engineer consultants said it best in a review on Glassdoor, “This recruiting firm does things right with a personal touch. All the recruiters I worked with were great. And after you are signed they continue to stay in contact with things like lunch, care packages, and happy hours to make sure your role is going as expected.”
From onboarding to travel logistics, relocation assistance to re-deployment on another project, our Consultant Care Team ensures our contractors have every resource necessary for them to exceed the expectations of our clients. Most of our competition relies solely on the recruiter to care for the consultants they deploy. We do not. Other talent firms (in the words of a Glassdoor reviewer) “pull fast-ones”. We’re better. Our “Consultant Care” is a team of folks dedicated to making a consultant’s experience the best it can be. They partner with the recruiter and the account executive to deliver superior support. This firm was founded on integrity, quality, passion, and purpose. Intertwined with that is a heartbeat to do the right thing, to positively impact those we come in contact with and to simply be nice.
Our Consultant Care Team has reason to be joyful in their work. They get to be part of something purposeful every day. Our consultants enjoy the knowledge that by working with us, a child is fed for the weekend through our Opt2give
program. They are recognized when they exhibit our core values in their workplaces. They are invited to contribute to our consultant community blog. They receive bonuses for referring their peers to us. The list is extensive, but the point is that, here at Optomi, we go above and beyond whenever possible. It’s just what we’re made of.

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.
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). In this role, Guyton will provide strategic and tactical leadership across key revenue-focused initiatives as OPS continues to unify and elevate their service offerings.
