People. Process. Systems.

Our experience.

We were well aware of the frightening statistics around failed ERP and system implementation projects, along with the dubious reputation that many consultancy firms get for high costs and not a lot of end product. And we knew we could do things differently, and better. By delivering real change and forging relationships based on trust, reliability and accountability in our results.

We’ve achieved fast growth and much of that has been due to referrals and recommendations. And long lasting trusted partner status with our customers.

Leadership Team

We formed Optimum PPS through a shared desire and passion for delivering great results and an ethos built on hard work, taking responsibility and making things happen.
