New Zealand tech consulting company Optimation embarks on significant expansion plans.
The Ministry of Education has selected Optimation to deliver a replacement system for its school transport resourcing administration system (STRAS), a multi-million-dollar software development project.
It’s been a year where partner relationships have paid off strongly for Optimation.
Optimation has won the contract to provide managed testing services to the Housing Corporation. It is a three-year deal, initially related to the corporation’s $80 million enterprise transformation project.
Optimation has announced 78 percent revenue growth ahead of the closure of its financial year, on March 31.
The Corrections Department has retained Gen-i to provide an upgraded voice and data infrastructure, in a contract reportedly worth more than $100 million, while a $40million Corrections applications development maintenance and support contract has gone to a consortium led by Optimation.
Optimation has shifted its Auckland staff from College Hill into new premises in the Pier 21 Building at Westhaven Drive. The move means the company will be closer to customers such as Air New Zealand and Vodafone.
Rhoda Holmes has left Optimation, a year after joining as CEO.
IT services company Optimation has formed a partnership with India's HCL Technologies.
In what could be the biggest local deal ever for application and network testing, Optimation has won Vodafone NZ’s business.
IT services company Optimation has laid off five staff in Auckland and six in Wellington.
CEO Rhoda Holmes says the eliminated positions were primarily back-office roles, but that two technical staff were among those made redundant.
Optimation has put in place risk and management plans should troubled Indian partner Satyam not be able to carry on with a major project at the Department of Corrections.
Services firm Optimation says its long-standing partnership with India’s fourth largest outsourcer Satyam Computer Services will be unaffected despite the fraud scandal which hit the Indian giant this week.
Optimation has appointed Rhoda Holmes as its new chief executive.
