Optima has more than 30 years of continuity and growth. Continuity in client relationships and in our staff. We believe this is unique in the contact center business. Let us show you what this continuity means for you.”

Who We Are
Founded in 1992, Optima Communications International provides Canadian contact centre outsourcing for regulated industries, including utilities, financial services, and insurance. For life insurance programs, Optima works through its specialist entity, Optima Insurance Services, whose LLQP-licensed advisors provide complete support to Canadian life insurance companies.
Over the years, Optima has developed a reputation for excellence. We have built the most loyal and long-standing group of client relationships in our industry. By the numbers, that’s 15-20 core clients with an average tenure of 15 years, and 50% of this client base is in financial services. We’re the largest Canadian insurance outsourcer, including Life A&S and Creditor insurance.
Optima can be your sole service provider or complement in-house resources. We offer on-site, hybrid, and work-from-home service models.
Obviously, solutions for each client vary according to their specific needs. But what every client gets is a committed Optima team that builds and maintains optimal relationships from the moment customers or prospects pick up the phone, open a web-chat, or send an email. We continuously build on our success by learning from each day’s customer interaction.
100% of Optima staff is located within North America.
