Integrated Business, Financial, Technical & Energy Solutions

Introduction to APARIQ
Since 1999, APARIQ, Inc. (APARIQ) teams have added value to our clients through proven implementable “innovative integrated systems improvement” processes that resolve many of the challenges that organizations face to successfully and measurably integrate business, organizational, finance, budget, technology, operations, personnel issues, and reliability issues. APARIQ is prepared to provide support for clients throughout the United States and internationally.

APARIQ provides a series of solutions that allow government agencies to break the old paradigm that “government agencies must purchase from the lowest price bidder that is marginally qualified.” When you acquire our services, you acquire significant value at a reasonable price. Our solutions and processes focus on using “innovative integrated systems improvement” processes to allow you to realize measurable, sustainable multiples of value from each man-hour when compared to solutions from other contractors. We are prepared to begin working with you at the highest or lowest management decision levels, help you accomplish early “win's,” generate powerful “political sound-bites” (quick success stories) that are consistent with lasting value, create powerful analyses, and in some cases actually work with you to manage the complex integration of multiple disciplines to create and implement elegant, innovative, reliable, adaptive, and successful solutions. In the simplest terms, APARIQ provides:

Our professionals have provided systematic improvement for a spectrum of large and small clients ranging from high-tech to low-tech and from commercial to government entities. Our professionals have strong business, technical, finance, engineering, government, and military backgrounds. We have considerable experience in successfully solving large complex problems and creating cost effective implementable plans in publicly traded businesses, utilities, high technology companies, government agencies, military organizations, and start-up and venture funded companies. We have considerable technical experience with computers, process plants, chemicals, electrical and electronic equipment, telecommunications, mechanical systems, renewable energy technologies and systems, industrial programmable logic controllers, complex integrated system design, design of elegant algorithms for the control and troubleshooting of complex integrated systems, regulatory compliance and safety compliance, robotic systems especially for nuclear waste cleanup, and technology assessment for technology transfer.

Our professionals have considerable experience in market assessments, due diligence, creating new ventures, and technology assessments for commercialization. Our professionals hold degrees from top business schools in the nation; and degrees from top technical and engineering universities in the nation.

We at APARIQ believe that each of our engagements must achieve a quantifiable metric of success that might typically be quantified as increased profits, reduced costs, increased levels of customer satisfaction, increased levels of operational preparedness or operability, or improvements in regulatory compliance.

Innovative Integrated Services Offered
Over the years, we have come to recognize that there are few companies that offer systematic integration of business, finance, and technology. It is easy to find experts in each one of the three areas. Well run organizations must integrate all three areas.
APARIQ systematically works at the intersection of all three areas, business, finance, and technology. The following provides a brief overview of our systematic approach for assessment and review of complex programs:
