What We Do

Asset management,
reliability & digital services

Optimal® offers the ARaaS® (Asset Reliability as a Service) framework; a structured, continuous service model for delivering Asset Performance Management. It combines reliability engineering, data-driven insight and continuous optimisation to improve asset availability, production stability and lifecycle value. ARaaS® is not a one-off project, it is a strategic partnership that evolves with your assets, compounding reliability improvements year on year.

Through Optimal360™, our converged IT and OT asset intelligence platform, we deliver agentless asset discovery, dynamic CMDB management, application dependency mapping, Software Asset Management (SAM) and licence optimisation, eliminating the manual overhead of keeping asset data current and enabling faster, more confident operational decisions across both digital and physical environments.

Our Advisory & Optimisation services support organisations achieving ISO 55001 certification, embedding governance, work management policy and continuous improvement, from Spares Optimisation and RCM studies to RDS-PP asset structuring and Accelerated Asset Interventions (AAI).
