Optimium

What Optimium does

Optimium (operating under the trade name Sharp Center / ABI Sharp Center) is a New Caledonia-based B2B technology solutions integrator founded in 1992 and headquartered in Nouméa. The company sells, rents, and maintains integrated technology estates spanning six domains: printing and reprography, IT infrastructure and managed services, audiovisual and videoconferencing, security and IoT (video surveillance, access control, connected sensors), retail point-of-sale, and productivity software (Zeendoc, Factorial, Lundi Matin). Its core commercial asset is the largest equipment rental fleet in the territory — more than 3,000 printing systems and 8,000 PCs/laptops deployed across New Caledonia from north to south and in the Loyalty Islands.

Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring equipment rental contracts with bundled maintenance, hardware and equipment sales, professional maintenance and remote supervision services, and consumables supply. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; rental contracts are billed annually. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with a dedicated sales team providing tailored deployment and ongoing daily support to B2B customers. Distribution is direct, and the company markets through its website, blog content, LinkedIn, Facebook, and customer testimonials.

The customer base spans multiple industries, including named enterprise and government accounts (OPT NC in telecommunications, Gendarmerie nationale) and SMB customers (Hôtel du Centre in hospitality, Intelect Services). Headcount stands at 74 employees. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or ownership structure. AI/ML capabilities are not part of the current offering.
