Optimyze represents creative and real solutions to these
challenging issues. By documenting a company's process, many mission
critical questions are answered. And using an objective third party
like Optimyze facilitates this successfully and profitably.
Many apparel companies who are competing
in this increasingly competitive and global apparel industry share
these concerns. Fortunately, because Optimyze in so flexible, each
company can define the scope of the project(s) to include only what
they need for success:
NEEDS
ANALYSIS
We take an in-depth look at your individual product development process,
including current technology and trends to future technology. Because
we successfully review company processes, suggest options to improve
that process, and analyze the different solution providers - a company
saves a tremendous amount of money in opportunity cost. We filter
the list of providers to ensure the short-term success and support
the long-term endeavors of your company. Furthermore, as third party
apparel professionals our recommendations are completely without bias
and serve to better educate and inform company decision makers and
end users.
Such analysis is time consuming for employees to administer and could
be politically motivated. But Optimyze can quickly pinpoint the exact
areas that need attention and plan for administering the appropriate
solution(s).
PROJECT
MANAGEMENT 
Our most important function is to fill the role of Project Managers.
Often process issues go unsolved and systems remain partially implemented
because companies just don't have resources to dedicate to defining
and managing projects to solve problems. It is a difficult prospect
to expect an employee with a full time job to also successfully
manage a project involving many departments, technology they may
not be familiar with, and maintain a schedules and meetings.
Optimyze offers you an objective, focused and organized alternative
to execute all aspects a project requires to succeed. Regardless
of the type of project (new spec system / process reengineering
/ CAD system upgrade / simple needs analysis), we ultimately save
time, money and frustration for all involved.

IMPLEMENTATION
STRATEGY 
Choosing to implement a new system after ironing out the process
wrinkles, a company will see exponential benefit. Implementing a
technology without analyzing the process first, will yield marginal
benefit in comparison.
To ensure immediate productivity, you need to establish measurable
goals and timelines, define personnel responsibilities, focus on
careful deployment and troubleshoot issues. We structure an implementation
plan to fit into your schedule because optimal conditions ensure
success. Preparation and success strategies
are key.

RE-IMPLEMENTATION
STRATEGY 
If you are a company that currently uses technology but is not fully
satisfied with it, you may want to explore a re-implementation strategy.
You may already have a system in place, but feel that the ROI or
productivity is not what you expected. Perhaps your system was not
fully implemented due to time constraints or employee turnover.
We can assist in working through all the issues in a timely manner
to get the project on the right track.
Even after a few years of having correctly implemented a system
it has been shown that a re-definition of systems not only becomes
apparent, but necessary. We augment existing systems by introducing
new functionality, conceptually integrating with other systems,
and designing custom reports. Re-implementation also includes rolling
out to new users/departments to streamline the overall workflow.

RE-DEFINING PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT 
We assist your company by targeting areas of the development and
production cycle that should work more effectively. Creation of
company calendars and matrix documents help companies better utilize
resources and development time. We also help you work efficiently
by learning to re-purpose digital output to eliminate various manual
entry steps.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
TECHNOLOGY 
Product Specifications are a core business practice that must be
accurate because they communicate ideas. Our services assist you
in configuring a system to give you the output, reports, tracking,
and spec packages that best suit your business needs. Optimyze then
follows up with hands-on implementation and user support including;
company specific user documentation and tools & tips documents.
We want you to be up and running more quickly to begin using your
specification system. You benefit because we can provide more hands-on,
personal attention than vendors to get the project completed.

DESIGN & MERCHANDISING
TECHNOLOGY
Today, shaving money and time from your process often involves incorporating
new types of technology and integrating them to existing systems
for seamless communication of ideas. Optimyze conceptually integrates
and deploys design technology to reduce duplication of effort within
departments such as Design. To increase productivity between departments,
such as redrawing of images for multiple purposes, we assist companies
in looking at an all-encompassing technology plan for all areas
of development.
Many people are CAD experts, but we go beyond. We provide helpful
information about digital assets, visual merchandising, and virtual
store system and how they all relate to each other.
