Who We Are

Founded in 1992, Optima is a business services provider specializing in complex customer service outsourcing with a focus on utilities and financial services.

Over the years, Optima has developed a reputation for excellence in our target industries. By the numbers, that’s 15-20 core clients with an average tenure of 15 years. We operate as both sole service provider and as compliment to in-house resources and offer on-site, hybrid, work-from-home service models.

Obviously, solutions for each client vary according to their specific needs. But what every client gets is a committed Optima team that builds and maintains optimal relationships from the moment customers or prospects pick up the phone, open a web-chat, or send an email. We continuously build on our success by learning from each day’s customer interaction.

100% of Optima staff is located within North America.

  3. Our financial services clients have required us to deliver validated bank-class security, in both technology and procedures, for over 30 years. We provide the same level of security to all clients.
