APG is Accelerating the Pace of Business

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the ability to adapt and innovate swiftly can make or break a business. APG Emerging Tech, a dynamic consulting firm, stands at the forefront of this transformative journey. As seasoned product strategists, designers, builders, and process automation experts, we're dedicated to propelling businesses, regardless of size, into a future defined by success in web, mobile, data, and platform implementations.

Data speaks volumes, and our delivery results demonstrate the power of empathy-driven solutions. It’s why empathy is one of our two core values. According to research by Deloitte and Touche, companies that prioritize customer-centric solutions are 60% more likely to exceed their revenue goals within the first year of implementation. This illustrates the tangible impact of understanding and catering to the unique needs of our clients.



In a business setting, empathy refers to the ability to understand and prioritize the needs, preferences, and experiences of the end-users, who include customers and employees. It involves putting oneself in the shoes of the user to gain a deep understanding of their pain points, challenges, and aspirations. This understanding is crucial for creating user-centric solutions that not only meet functional requirements but also provide a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Practicing empathy in solution design means considering factors such as demographics, technical proficiency, accessibility, and even one’s emotional state. It involves actively seeking feedback, conducting user research, and iterating on designs to ensure that the solution addresses real-world needs of its intended audience.

Empathy also extends to anticipating potential frustrations or roadblocks that users may encounter and proactively designing solutions to work around them. This could involve derring more intuitive navigation, clearer instructions, and more thoughtful error messaging.

For us, empathy is about creating products that resonate with users, enhance their productivity, and overall experience.

Leading experts in our field echo this sentiment. Gerald Sylvan, an industry analyst, emphasizes, "In a landscape where customer experience is paramount, the ability to empathize with clients is not just a competitive advantage—it's a business imperative."

Stewardship: Guiding Technological Evolution with Purpose

Stewardship is our second core value. We see ourselves as stewards of our clients’ resources: people, money, and time. And we are extremely proficient in maximizing our clients’ resources within their constraints and abilities. Studies show that businesses that prioritize long-term planning are 50% more likely to outperform their competitors over a ten-year period. Our approach transcends immediate gains; it focuses on creating enduring solutions that stand the test of time.

Stewardship entails assuming responsibility for the enduring effectiveness and sustainability of the solutions being developed. It surpasses immediate wins, encompassing a commitment to crafting a solution that adapts and endures alongside evolving business and technological landscapes. This involves a focus on scalability, maintainability, security, and compliance, ensuring the software meets industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Stewardship also emphasizes resource efficiency, user training and support, and the integration of feedback for ongoing refinement - an informed backlog. By proactively adopting new technologies and considering ethical implications, businesses can ensure their software remains competitive, trustworthy, and valuable for the long haul. Ultimately, stewardship contributes to the overall triumph and longevity of the business.

In the words of Sarah Ledbetter, a respected authority in transformation, "Sustainable growth is the cornerstone of a resilient business. It's not just about rapid advancement, but about creating a foundation that supports continuous evolution." Our commitment to stewardship ensures that every solution we provide is not only innovative but also built for sustainability.

Looking Ahead: A Vision for the Future

Our vision is clear: to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in business by leveraging the best in custom and customizable software. We see a future where businesses not only keep pace with change, but thrive in it. By leveraging data-driven strategies, empathetic solutions, and a commitment to enduring solutions, we will continue to lead the charge towards a new era of business growth.

We are partners in our clients’ journey towards success. Our approach, rooted in empathy and stewardship, sets us apart in the industry.
