6 Signs You Need to Call Optis

As an IT manager, you're often juggling a million things at once, from keeping the lights on to driving digital transformation. It's tempting to tackle every challenge with your in-house team, but sometimes you need a little backup. So how do you know when it's time to call in the experts at Optis? Here are six signs you shouldn't ignore.

1. Your developers don’t have enough time

Deadlines looming? Projects piling up? If your developers are feeling the heat and dreaming of a vacation, it's a clear sign you could use some extra hands. At Optis, however, we offer more than just consultants.  

Instead, we send over committed developers who become a true extension of your team. With the combined knowledge of our other Java and JavaScript experts at their fingertips, they collaborate closely to understand your business goals and technical requirements.

While we offer short-term help from time to time, we much prefer long-term partnerships where we can truly get to know how your organisation and your codebase works. And it clearly works! Our clients often prefer to scale their teams with as many of our consultants as possible over time.  

For example, we've been helping a leading car manufacturer for years now. We started at just one developer, but we now have five experts and counting bringing their expertise.

2. Your developers need a guiding hand

Sometimes, you need more than just coding skills. You need experience, guidance, and maybe even a little handholding. Luckily, our Optis consultants are seasoned Java and JavaScript experts who can mentor your developers, sharing their knowledge and expertise to elevate your team's skills.  

Take UCLL, for example. One of our technical architects helped them expand their React knowledge with in-depth training sessions, so their team could confidently manage the application going forward. Self-reliance is always our end goal with this service!

3. Your application is not performing as expected

Is your app prone to crashes, slowdowns, or performance hiccups? Don't let technical glitches derail your digital ambitions. Our Java and JavaScript experts can dive deep into your codebase and provide comprehensive reviews. We'll identify any bottlenecks and recommend solutions ranging from strategic optimisations to complete refactoring.

We've helped numerous clients, including one whose application was practically on life support, achieve dramatic performance improvements and restore stability by fixing the root cause. We can't go into details because of confidentiality reasons, but we'll gladly explain which problems we helped solve over a cup of coffee.

The best part of our job is seeing a client's face light up when their app idea becomes a reality.

4. You have a manual process that needs to be digitised

Manual processes are often time-consuming, leading to frustrated end users or customers, long waiting times, and high error rates. We can help you finally ditch the paperwork and embrace digital transformation. We build custom, integrated online applications that streamline your workflows, automate tasks, and make life easier for everyone.  

If you need some more convincing about the power of digital processes, just ask the team at OECO Group! We transformed their clunky pre-invoicing process with a centralised application, proving that internal processes also deserve a digital makeover.

5. You have an idea, but don’t know how to get started

You've got plenty of great ideas, but turning them into reality can feel overwhelming. That's where the Optis Factory comes in. We handle the entire application development process from A to Z, taking your brilliant idea from concept to launch (and beyond).  

Whether you need a small, targeted solution or a complex, enterprise-grade platform, our team of experts will work closely with you every step of the way. Just ask Digitale Wolven and Collexy, two clients who turned their ambitious ideas into successful realities.

6. You want to modernise or migrate my existing application to the cloud

Migrating to the cloud can feel like navigating uncharted territory, and sometimes it is. We'll gladly guide you through every stage of your cloud journey, from initial assessment and planning to seamless execution, hosting, and ongoing support.  

That being said, it's important for us not to oversell here. If your application doesn't need a complete refactoring or rewrite, we won't try to convince you. Let our experts take a look at where you are and where you want to be, and we'll work out a successful transition that delivers real business value.

Ready to conquer your IT challenges?

At Optis, we're more than just consultants—we're your trusted partners in tech. We're passionate about helping businesses like yours succeed in the digital age, and we're committed to building lasting relationships built on collaboration, transparency, and a shared drive for innovation.
