Celebrating 25 years with our customers and partners
It was a huge privilege to host our customers and partners at Optimation’s 25th birthday celebration in Wellington. We really valued the opportunity to recognise the many great relationships Optimation has forged over the years, and how much we have achieved together. It is amazing to reflect on Optimation’s journey, evolving from a 4-person start-up in 1992 to having over 200 staff today and being an IT partner to some of New Zealand’s biggest organisations.

This success is the product of sustained investment in fostering smart, innovative thinking and a collaborative, pragmatic approach to delivering technology solutions that make our customers’ businesses better.
