APPX is downsizing. No, that is not a reaction to Steve’s post identifying the various characters that inhabit these premises. Instead, it’s a way of saying that a program that he introduced in January is rather effectively reducing the size of our staff. Cumulatively, by over 100 pounds already!
APPX Software, Inc., of course, is a company. Specifically, APPX Software, Inc. is a corporation incorporated in the State of Florida. But, simply saying that APPX Software, Inc. is a company doesn’t really tell you much. A company is actually defined by the people who work for the company or otherwise contribute to the success of the company. In our case, we have a talented, dedicated group of individuals who develop and support our products. These individuals are, collectively, the “company”. When you think of APPX Software, you are probably visualizing an entity comprised of the collective talent and personality of all of these various individuals. So, to answer the question of “who” is APPX Software, Inc. the answer is as follows:
Some of you may wonder why Conjectrix, Inc. is listed in the R&D group. Several years ago, Korry Douglas and his wife, Susan, formed Conjectrix, Inc. as a consulting business and Korry resigned to devote his time to his own company. APPX Software, Inc. outsources a portion of its R&D with Conjectrix, Inc. So, even though Korry is no longer an employee of APPX Software, Inc., he is still actively involved in R&D at APPX Software, Inc. as a consultant of Conjectrix, Inc. and continues to make a significant contribution to the R&D effort at APPX Software, Inc.
It was one year ago today that the APPX Blog was inaugurated, so it’s a good time to look back, examine the goals for its creation, and address the question of whether those goals have been realized.
