Optko Launches Zero Cost Migration Programme to Accelerate Digital Workforce Transformation for Australian Corporations
This innovative initiative eliminates upfront capital barriers and streamlines the migration path off costly legacy workforce management systems within 20 weeks, to enable Australian businesses to immediately improve productivity.
MELBOURNE, VIC — June 30, 2026 — Optko, a highly agile workforce optimisation company, in collaboration with WorkAxle, a modern cloud-based workforce management provider, today announced the launch of their Zero Cost Migration Programme. Designed specifically to help Australian corporations break free from inflexible and expensive legacy environments, this strategic initiative eliminates upfront implementation costs, paving a seamless, zero-capital pathway to modernised workforce technology.
Enterprise modernisation is increasingly hindered by the high cost and disruption of transitioning core operational systems. The Zero Cost Migration Programme directly overcomes these financial barriers and transformation risks, allowing organisations to substitute heavy capital expenditure with an efficient, value-driven process that delivers a shorter time-to-value.
By unifying Optko’s industry-leading transition expertise with WorkAxle’s functionally rich, fully award-compliant workforce management platform, the programme ensures businesses can modernise their rostering, scheduling, and time and attendance systems with confidence, long-term resilience, and minimal operational downtime.
Driving Innovation with Zero Capital Outlay
The Zero Cost Migration Programme allows Australian corporations to migrate to a better and more modern workforce management solution with minimal capital outlay,
“Through this initiative we are providing an opportunity to simplify migration, eliminate cost barriers, and accelerate innovation. We are excited to offer Australian organisations an opportunity to transition to WorkAxle, a modern workforce solution, that will enable the transformation for operational excellence”, said Roland Hambleton, CTO Optko. “Optko is enabling organisations a streamlined pathway to modernise their workforce ecosystem enabling them to operate more efficiently and future-proof their operations”.
