Apex Systems
Offering World-Class Technology Solutions for Ambitious Digital Goals

Apex Systems, a leading technology services provider, is driven by the mission to deliver solutions that fulfill clients’ digital visions.

“We have been on a digital and agile transformation journey with our clients for many years. At the center of that journey have been numerous full stack and data engineering initiatives complemented by different types of supporting solutions such as DevOps, AI/ML, QA, and Cybersecurity, keeping innovation at the heart of our journey together,” says Roger Wahman, the CTO of Apex Systems.

The company recognized that moving these types of workloads to the cloud would be a big part of its transformation efforts. At that point, AWS became an obvious choice as it was leading the way in cloud infrastructure and platform services.

Apex Systems started helping with application migrations, native development, and big data implementations and, over time, helped clients reach a cloud-first posture. Now, it’s hard to imagine digital transformation without the cloud and AWS.

“We’ve developed a much deeper partner relationship with AWS over the past few years to strengthen our capabilities,” says Wahman. “Our goal is to help clients utilize the right cloud services that will help them bring innovative products to market, enhance their operations and productivity, and provide an amazing experience to their customers, employees, and partners.”

Providing the Best of Both Worlds

Apex Systems brings all the capabilities you’d expect from a global system integrator to provide amazing thought leadership, solve the most challenging problems, and successfully implement even the most complex engagements all supplemented by the incredible strength and scale of its recruiting engine. This combination allows the company to build just-in- time, fit-for-purpose teams which are at the heart of delivering best-in-class solutions.

The model itself creates tremendous value compared to a legacy bench model where clients might get a team of consultants who are available regardless of their technical prowess, industry knowledge, or culture fit.

Driving Customers toward Innovation

Apex Systems takes a layered approach with clients to drive change by balancing cost, quality, and performance. They think about the future state architecture and the principles and best practices that should be applicable, including reusability, flexibility, and scalability.

There are always compliance considerations like industry regulations, data privacy, and security controls. Meeting these requirements is critical to success. Finally, Apex Systems looks for the application of intelligent services, meaning how they can use artificial intelligence and automation to ensure an optimum outcome.

“We are increasing business agility, improving operational efficiency, building a personalized and responsive experience, and enabling data-driven decision making. Our solutions provide outcomes that can be tailored to each industry,” says Wahman.

For instance, one of Apex Systems’ clients running a leading digital marketplace needed a technical partner to help move their data services and data assets from an on-premise environment to a public cloud platform. Apex was selected to complete the project given its recent experience of creating cloudnative applications for the client.

In addition to the migration, the client needed to meet or exceed performance requirements, guarantee no data loss and optimize compute and storage resources to contain costs.

Apex Systems’ team partnered with the client to move their legacy relational data warehouse from the data center to a modern agile data services solution deployed on AWS, leveraging services like S3, RDS, Lambda and Glue. The company’s cloud solution was built with automation, innovation, and reusability in mind. As such, they implemented an API generator to automatically create connections to data sources, a graph explorer to visualize the inventory of data services available, and a containerized solution for enabling the quick creation of AI/ML workloads in the environment.

It’s All About People

Apex Systems’ core values, including the Will to Win, Do the Right Thing, Make Others Better, and Respect for All, are a common thread across the organization. Team members are recognized and rewarded for exhibiting these core values, as alignment with them is a great predictor of success.

Further, AWS is one of Apex Systems’ top focus areas for growth, and they are working closely with them on multiple use cases and workloads. The company has onboarded thought leaders and technical professionals to drive success and value creation.

More specifically, Apex Systems will continue to grow its AWS capabilities by achieving new competencies. The company has a strong focus on providing best-in-class industry-specific solutions. This means building depth and scale on platforms like the AWS Healthlake—a HIPAAeligible service, offering healthcare and life sciences companies a chronological view of individual or patient population health data for query and analytics at scale.

After a vetting process with AWS last year, Apex Systems were added to the list of launch partners for the platform.

A Continuous Journey toward Excellence

Through tremendous organic growth and key acquisitions over the past few years, Apex Systems’ services business has more than tripled in size. Further, its incredible Mexico Development Center (MDC) has grown from a single leader to over a thousand technology practitioners in multiple cities to help support this growth. Their capabilities include solutions that span a wide variety of innovative technologies, agile processes, and organizational functions with key oversight by engagement management and thought leaders.

Going forward, the company will focus on building artifacts, frameworks, and accelerators by leveraging its recently launched AWS Studio, which will help teams deliver greater value faster than ever and get the best possible results for clients.
