About us
When you're entranced by the potential of something that most people have trouble just getting their heads around, you become accustomed to explaining yourself. Simply put, creating great IT solutions is our passion, and it demands a formidable set of skills, resources and experience. With almost two decades of experience working with many of New Zealand's smartest, most successful businesses, we know we've got what it takes.
We've always recognised the role strong governance plays in driving sustainable business growth, so Optimation was one of the of first privately owned New Zealand IT companies to appoint independent non-executive directors. Today, the Board comprises Chairman Neil Butler, directors Richard Palmer and Martin Butler, and is advised by Paul Cook.

Optimation was founded in 1992 and is proudly New Zealand-owned. We've been in the thick of it as the industry has gone through seismic shifts, from mainframes to cloud computing, from 'portables' that weighed in at 10 kilos to iPhones that carry the world in your pocket, and from paper-based systems to the web. We've seen our share of ups and downs, but we're happy to say that many of our original customers (and a few of our original staff) are still with us today.

We're a diverse bunch here at Optimation, with staff from around the world who boast an impressive array of skills and qualifications (as well as some great travel photos). But we all share a common delight in solving tough problems and we're constantly on the lookout for smart, practical ideas you can use to improve the way you do business.

For most Optimates, spending time in the great outdoors is a big part of our lives when we're not hard at work, so we're doing whatever we can as a company to improve our environmental sustainability and reduce our carbon footprint. We're also proud to have developed Envirostep, a free web-based system that every Kiwi company can use to assess and improve their own sustainability.

Without our partners we wouldn’t have a business, because their technologies and products provide the foundations for the solutions we design and implement. We choose our partners carefully, and we only want to work with people we trust to deliver and who are as committed as we are to meeting your needs.
