Previous and current Process Control/SCADA clients of APCO Inc. have benefited significantly from the expertise and business practices employed as a normal course of operations at APCO Inc.  These benefits, some of which are listed below, are available to all our clients, past, present, and future.  APCO Inc. is happy to have potential clients follow-up with previous clients to verify the reality of these benefits.

1.       Quality.  APCO Inc. holds itself to a very high standard of project quality.  The measures used to determine quality include safety, operability, reliability, and punctuality.  The most reliable measure of a project’s quality is long-term customer satisfaction with the end product.  The majority of APCO Inc’s. business is repeat business from existing clients.  APCO Inc’s. past projects stand as a witness to our quality approach.  We gladly guarantee our work, and we stand by our guarantee, because we are committed to doing quality work the first time through. 

2.       Expertise.  The experience and education of APCO Inc. employees provide an unusually broad and deep level of expertise in the design, analysis, and implementation of control systems.  Successfully implementing an optimal control system requires not only a solid understanding of control system principles and of the available hardware/software, but also an understanding of the specific process being controlled.  APCO Inc. personnel have a deep understanding of control system principles through education and experience, and also a broad exposure to a wide array of processing equipment and control hardware/software ranging from very small, solar-powered RTU sites to very large control networks consisting of multiple controllers, operator stations, servers, etc.

3.       Support.  APCO Inc’s. clients in Utah and nearby states benefit from more local support, which means faster response with a minimum of cost.  Regardless of the location APCO Inc. is committed to prompt and thorough support for our clients.  Our engineers are available 24 hrs a day to support our clients.  Our personnel have significant experience and a very successful track record with trouble shooting, problem resolution, and upgrades.

4.       Clients Retain Desired Level Of Independence Upon Project Completion.  APCO Inc. strives to implement projects in a manner that affords the client the greatest degree of desired independence at the conclusion of the project.  This includes providing training and documentation and also includes transitioning to the client software licenses purchased specifically for the project.  The most successful projects long-term employ a team approach, where client personnel and APCO personnel work closely together, so the client personnel are intimately familiar with project details upon completion.  Such independence provides the most options to the client for maintenance and future modifications.  However, this independence does not mean that APCO Inc. leaves the client stranded at the conclusion of a project.  Quite the contrary.  APCO Inc. is very desirous of being involved in ongoing maintenance and modification efforts, which is evidence of the quality APCO Inc. employs in project implementations.  Nevertheless, we want to provide the highest level of desired independence to the client, because that is the way we would like to be treated.
