Our Story

We help clients build agile operating models, drive business process improvements, and turn customers into advocates.

A BIT ABOUT US

Same team. Different name.

Whilst Optimum.consulting was born in 2022, our people have been around the block implementing Microsoft Dynamics solutions for a very long time. We are experts in what we do, and have worked with clients large, medium, and small to solve their most complex technology challenges..

Our focus is first on understanding your business strategy and what’s important to you, what makes your business tick, and what makes it stand out from the competition. It is only then that we jump into the driver’s seat to lead the solution definition and implementation which goes hand in hand with delivering effective change management ensuring that your staff are on board with the digital transformation journey.

As soon as possible and when ready, we place you into the driver’s seat and we become passengers to continue supporting you on the continued technology journey.
