APAX Software

08/20/2026

One of our favorite days of the year! 🌮

Yesterday, we hosted a special edition of APAX Family Lunch with our coworking friends and neighbors at Awesome Inc. Fresh tacos, drinks, and friendships filled the startup garage and summertime air.

We could deliver a hundred perfect software projects, but if we don't focus on the people first, none of the success would matter.

Our 4 Core Values educate activities like Family Lunch: Be Good, Be Excellent, Be a Friend, Be You. Tacos go especially well in facilitating CV #3.

What are your core values?

3 Years with Rolando!

Surfing into year 3, Rolando has continued to be a steady, kind, and excellent member of the APAX team. Over the last year, Rolando has helped us get projects for PC(USA) and UK Athletics across the finish line. Plus, he's currently working on a PhD in A.I. Computer Vision. Pretty soon, we'll have another Doctor on the team!

Happy work anniversary, Rolando!

Imagine you’re trying to find where to go for care.

Not the hospital campus.
Not the general building.
The actual office. The right service. The right next step.

Now imagine you’re doing that while you’re stressed, sick, helping a parent, or trying to schedule around work.

That’s why healthcare websites matter more than we sometimes give them credit for.

They aren’t just digital brochures. They’re wayfinding tools, patient access tools, content systems, and operational infrastructure.

Our latest blog looks at our recent work with UK HealthCare as St. Claire’s and King’s Daughters joined its broader digital ecosystem, and what healthcare CMS modernization should really solve: clearer paths for patients, better tools for internal teams, and a platform that can grow with the organization.

One thing our newest Project Manager, Lindsay Rall, noticed right away at APAX?

The speed of communication.

During a recent conversation about our work with UK HealthCare (blog coming soon ✍️), Lindsay called out how quickly the team turns around communication with partners and how much that seems to shape the client experience.

In complex projects, good communication is not a “nice to have.” It keeps decisions moving, helps stakeholders stay aligned, and prevents small questions from turning into big delays.

The code matters. The architecture matters. The CMS matters.

But the way a team communicates around the work can be the difference between a stressful project and a trusted partnership.

Shoutout to Lindsay for naming it, and to the project team for living it.

We’ve been writing more lately. ✍️

About AI agents.
Accessibility.
QuickBooks integrations.
Wordpress and Drupal.
What good software projects actually look like.

And instead of letting those thoughts float around the internet alone, we’re putting the best of them in one place: the APAX newsletter.

If you work on a team trying to modernize systems, improve digital experiences, or figure out what to build next, we think you’ll find it useful.

Some software projects are really people projects.

Keith Downing, one of our Developers at APAX, recently wrote about a project that started with an old coworker, a shared office, and years of trust.

The client had outgrown a core process built on spreadsheets, off-the-shelf tools, manual approvals, vendor coordination, and QuickBooks entries. Their team was making it work, but one missed step could create billing mistakes, client issues, or slowdowns that were hard to trace.

That’s a tooling problem, not a people problem.

So Keith and the APAX team helped build a custom platform that brings requests, approvals, vendor coordination, and QuickBooks invoice syncing into one place.

What made the project meaningful wasn’t just the technical solution. It was the trust behind it. Two years of discovery, iteration, honest conversations, tradeoffs, and problem-solving went into building something that actually fit the way the client works.

As Keith put it: “The software built by people who genuinely care about each other tends to turn out better.”

We believe that too.

Agents are real now, but only if they live inside your workflow.

Anthropic spells out the part most teams underestimate: putting AI into “core operations takes hands-on engineering and deep familiarity with how each business runs.”

They even describe a healthcare example where the work starts by sitting with clinicians and IT, then building tools that fit into existing workflows for documentation, coding, prior auth, and compliance reviews.

That's the pattern we see too. Agents do not fail because the model cannot write. They fail because the workflow is messy, the permissions are unclear, and nobody owns the edge cases.

If you are thinking about agents for Q3, start here: What action would you trust software to take, without asking a human first?

(If the answer is “none,” that’s fine. That tells you where the guardrails need to be.)

Last month we hosted a Corporate Innovation Roundtable with , and we got hands-on with a tool more teams should know about: Wardley Mapping.

Instead of debating strategy in circles, we mapped a simple example together: a hypothetical pivot into the tea house business. We broke it down from customer needs all the way through the real dependencies that make the experience work, from tea leaves and roasting to cups, electricity, servers, and location.

The “aha” for a lot of people was this: in a map, space has meaning. When you place components based on how evolved they are, you start to see where to innovate, where to standardize, and where to scale.

Another big takeaway was how much this improves decision-making. It depersonalizes the conversation. You’re not challenging someone’s narrative, you’re challenging the map together. That creates shared ownership, clearer alignment, and better decisions.

We also dug into real applications across AI adoption, enterprise data strategy, product development, healthcare, and workforce design. The theme came up again and again: not every problem needs a bigger presentation. Sometimes it just needs a better map.

If you’re navigating ambiguity or planning a transformation, Wardley Mapping is worth your time.

Justin. Brian. Matt. 3 Founders, 19 years later.

On June 1st, 2007, these guys started APAX Software and have stuck with it since. Leading and growing the company while giving so much of their time and themselves to it. We're so thankful for their hard work and friendship over these years.

Cheers to you guys! Happy 19. See you next year for the big 2-0!

"It needs to be a Q3 Rock!" 🪨

Bells, rocks, and whistles don't always go together. But when rocks get completed, we ring bells and we cheer loud!

With the successful vitaspa.com launch, and EOS keeping us focused and productive, we had to celebrate.

Maybe, just maybe, we'll celebrate even more when Awesome Inc adds "Hot Tub" to its list of amenities at the office. 🤞
