Using Aptify

Aptify is the premier business application that brings the power of component‐based, distributed computing to organizations of all sizes. Aptify meets the business needs of a variety of industries, including associations, publishing, education, and meeting management. Its flexible application architecture accommodates and grows with your organization.

Aptify provides a powerful, yet easy‐to‐use, interface that lets users quickly retrieve information related to an organization’s day‐to‐day operations. A few of Aptify’s applications include:
