About OMS Reimagined

About

Most organizations run finance, HR, legal, compliance and IT as unrelated entities. We organize them into five domains: Deliver, Demand, Resource, Protect and Direct. Every organization runs on all five, whether it is a sole proprietor or a company of ten thousand. What changes is not which domains exist, it is how much structure each one needs. So we look at all five and go deep only where your organization genuinely warrants it, rather than handing you a maturity score or telling you which stage you are supposed to be at.

Who We Are

AJ Johnson

Founder and CEO of OMS Reimagined

Twenty years inside operations across public institutions, private industry, and now the startup world. A degree in political science and international affairs from the University of North Georgia, after starting out as an engineering major. The pull toward operations came before either one. She is the second generation to build a practice on the OMS methodology.

Dee Johnson

Founder of OMS, 2000

Before founding OMS in 2000, Dee’s experience spanned German and international companies, including the mergers and acquisitions department of a major automotive company, evaluating business plans for venture capital funding. She built the original ten-pillar, color-coded framework. She is still involved at OMS Reimagined.

Our Story

Dee Johnson founded OMS in Stuttgart in 2000, after almost twenty-five years inside German and international industry. The letters stood for Office Management System, and it answered the problem in front of her: information scattered across departments, filing nobody agreed on, process that lived in people’s heads.

That problem has not gone anywhere. Almost everything around it has. What used to be an office is now operations, spread across systems, regulations, vendors and countries that did not exist in 2000.

OMS Reimagined was founded in Athens, Georgia, in 2026. It does not pick up where the 2000 system left off, and it is not that system with a new coat of paint. It is the same discipline, rebuilt for what organizations actually run on now. The letters stayed, and they work either way: Office, or Operations. The word carrying the weight is Reimagined.

Which makes this something unusual: a second generation operations practice. Fifty years of pattern recognition inside one firm, from a German manufacturing floor in 1976 to a Georgia startup today. Most advisors build that one client at a time. We inherited it, and we are still adding to it.

Where This Came From

Fifty years of operations, across two continents.

The companies that shaped our skills and knowledge span manufacturing, logistics, translation, higher education, nonprofits and automotive, across Germany, England and the United States.
