Meet the Experts –

Meet Ben Green from Optimize IS.

My name is Ben. I started Optimize in college. I was working in factories and studying Information Systems & Operations at Indiana University. I was learning how to combine technology and business with the goal of working at a Big 4 Consulting Firm. When looking at my peers 20-30 years ahead, I realized I did not want to follow their path. The tech skills I learned are only shared with the largest Fortune 500 companies. The University was not teaching how to help Small and Medium sized businesses. I realized SMB’s can benefit the most from tech, and they are a lot more fun to work with. I chose to not take a job and instead make YouTube videos showing how SMB’s can use tech. Those first Youtube videos have turned into 143 happy customers. These customers use us to build systems and tech around their business.
