About Us
Optimum Systems is a Systems Integration provider and Custom Software Development house working with small to medium-sized businesses creating and integrating customer and employee access websites to back-to-back business systems. Optimum Systems was founded in 2004 when companies that knew us began to request help solving technical problems. Since that time, we have grown and now serve a sizeable group of wholesale distributors who have come to rely on our services. We still proudly count our very first customer as a client. We've built our reputation based on being available at all times, listening to our customers and delivering what they ask for.
Below you'll find more on the background and experience of some of us who make up the Optimum Systems team.
Roy Olsen
Roy began his career in information technology with a distributor who just purchased the latest revolution in technology, the IBM XT! It was 1984 and Roy began automating the distributor's business operations which had previously all been done manually. Gone were the handwritten invoices that customers struggled to read!
Not only did many manual tasks disappear, but Roy designed new statements that provided a clear picture of customer charges. The result was a big drop in questions customers had about their statements and a dramatic decrease in outstanding receivables.
Since that time Roy has helped many small businesses, corporations and government agencies to use technology to streamline and enhance their operations. They found in Roy someone with a great deal of technical expertise who also grasps the business problems they're trying to solve and explains potential solutions in terms they can understand.
Roy joined Eclipse, Inc. in the late 90's and was eager to become part of growing company with a strong emphasis on customer service and satisfaction. While at Eclipse he helped improve internal operations by writing programs that made it easier for people to get their jobs done. One of the accomplishments he's most proud of is developing the software used to convert new customers' data from their old system to Eclipse.
Before the conversion system each company's conversion involved hours of custom programming just to get the basic data from their old system. Roy reinvented this process so that a standard set of programs can be readily adapted to meet the needs of each situation. Not only has the conversion process become less expensive for customers, but it's now easier to accommodate each company's specific requirements. Additionally, this change allows conversions to be proofed ahead of time which has significantly reduced the number of suprises that occur when companies go live on Eclipse.
After 9 years at Eclipse, Roy joined Optimum Systems where he gains a great deal of satisfaction helping companies use technology more effectively. By using his technical abilities to help people improve their businesses, Roy feels that he's part of winning team.
A resident of Colorado, Roy lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains where he can't get enough of the natural surroundings and gorgeous views. He's an avid hiker and a student of Qigong, an ancient Chinese practice for health and self-development.
