What is the Optima process chain?
The Optima process chain is a four stage method by which Optima Solutions guides digitalisation projects in small and mid sized companies from beginning to end.
- Station one is workshop and assessment: where the business stands today, what holds it back, what pays off first.
- Station two is transparency and bottlenecks: making processes visible, finding the constrictions, redesigning the flow.
- Station three is digitalisation and automation: selecting suitable tools, building clean interfaces, applying AI automation where it carries weight.
- Station four is embedding and securing impact, so the team adopts the new way of working and it survives everyday pressure.
Every station ends with documents the client keeps, such as a maturity report, a process map or an adoption report. The order is not a formality: process work precedes the tool question, because an unresolved process does not get better through software, it gets wrong faster. The chain is a recommendation and not a gate, and clients can enter at any station.
