Agile Transformation Case Study

This Fortune 500 financial services corporation was admittedly filling vacancies with “warm bodies” instead of employing talent who could have a long-term future with the company. This initial strategy was not serving the business needs. Because of the critical nature of the project and the way that these consultants would interface with the business and IT department, this client wanted to staff its team with consultants who had the potential to convert to full-time employment which was not an option for them in that model. They were also presented challenges with quality as they found themselves the victims of consultants who were not who they represented themselves to be.

Enter Optomi. Our understanding of the client’s tech needs as well as our cultural synergies made us the ideal partner. Optomi “earned the right” to do business with this financial services client by sourcing two, very hard to find positions, Test Data Masking Manager and a Test Data Masking Analyst. Both required very specific expertise using a niche IBM tool called InfoSphere Optim in addition to technical expertise in a wide variety of databases to include SQL, Oracle, DB2 and NoSQL. Optomi’s initial success prompted referral upon referral. After staffing their projects with the specialists they needed, the client’s projects were completed flawlessly and on deadline. Their business continues to expand… launching new divisions which they have engaged Optomi for support on.
