Services

A lot of firms have a technology roadmap on paper that doesn't reflect the reality of where they're headed, what they can actually execute, or what the market is demanding right now. That misalignment is expensive.

Aplodex will sit down with your leadership team, dig into your current strategy, stress-test the assumptions, and help you build a roadmap that's honest about your capacity and clear on your priorities. We've built and presented technology roadmaps to executives and boards. We know how to translate between what's technically possible and what's actually strategically valuable.

This is the conversation you should be having every year, not just when something breaks.

Most firms didn't design their tech stack, they inherited it. A tool got added here, a vendor got added there, and now you're paying for 12 platforms that don't talk to each other and nobody fully uses. That's fixable.

Aplodex comes in, maps what you have, identifies the gaps and the redundancies, and helps you build a stack that actually makes sense for your size, your workflows, and where you're headed. We've managed production environments across 15+ platforms in wealth management, so we know what good looks like in this space.

This isn't a theory exercise. The output is a clear, prioritized plan you can actually act on.

“AI-ready” isn't about buying a ChatGPT subscription and calling it a day. It's about having clean data, clear processes, the right governance in place, and people who know how to work with the tools. Most firms aren't there yet, and that's okay.

Aplodex helps you get the foundation right so AI actually works when you deploy it. We've built AI governance frameworks from scratch, authored AI policies aligned to NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act, and built systems that put AI into real workflows, not demos. We know where the liability sits in financial services and how to build with that in mind.

Whether you're just getting started or you've got tools deployed with no real adoption, we'll figure out where you are and get you moving.

SEC, FINRA, GLBA, the AI Act, NIST. The regulatory environment for RIAs and broker-dealers keeps getting more complex, and your policies need to keep up. A policy pulled from a template you found online won't hold up when the examiner asks questions.

We rebuilt a cybersecurity program from scratch on the NIST CSF and came out of the next SEC examination with zero findings. We've authored AI governance frameworks aligned to NIST AI RMF, written AI acceptable use policies, and built vendor review processes for AI tools. We know what regulators are looking for right now.

This isn't just documentation. We build policies that your team can actually follow, tied to real controls.

Out-of-the-box CRM functionality gets you maybe 60% of the way there. The last 40% is custom dashboards, workflows, and automations that your team actually wants to open in the morning. We know Salesforce FSC deeply and build for advisor workflows.

Manual processes don't just slow you down, they create errors. NIGOs, duplicate data, missed steps in a workflow, someone doing the same thing 40 times a week because nobody built a better way. That's where we start.

Aplodex identifies your highest-value automation opportunities and builds them. We've built 98+ Salesforce Flows in production, automated onboarding workflows, custodial sync processes, billing runs, and document generation pipelines. We know what's worth automating and what just needs to be reorganized.

The goal is always scale. When you grow, the work shouldn't grow at the same rate.

Every tool at your firm has an API. Most firms never use them. Instead, someone is exporting a CSV from one system and uploading it to another, every single day. That's a workflow problem with a technical solution.

Aplodex has designed 120+ REST API integrations across wealth management platforms, including cert-auth connections to Pershing and Fidelity, Microsoft Graph for calendar and email, Addepar for portfolio data, and custom SFTP ingestion pipelines. We know the quirks of these systems in financial services specifically.

We scope the integration, build it, document it, and make sure it's maintainable. No black boxes.

An agent isn't a chatbot. A real agent has context, has tools, and can take action on your behalf across the systems you already use. We've built agentic systems that pull from Salesforce, Addepar, Pershing, Fidelity, your inbox, your calendar, and more, and surface what the right people need to know at the right time.

The Panorama framework we built is a full multi-tier agent architecture: personal agents, team agents, department rollups, and a firm-level intelligence layer. All powered by your firm's actual data. We're not starting from scratch with you, we're bringing a proven architecture and adapting it to your environment.

Custom MCP servers, multi-provider LLM routing, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows. This is what we do.

Most implementation failures aren't product failures, they're process failures. The configuration doesn't match how your team actually works, the data migration is messy, nobody trained the users, and six months later half the firm is back in spreadsheets.

Aplodex has implemented Salesforce FSC at production scale, migrated data across custodial and portfolio platforms, deployed ITSM systems, and rolled out Microsoft 365 environments from scratch. We bring process design into every implementation, not just technical deployment.

We also stay through go-live. That's where most projects fall apart.

This is the open-ended one. Sometimes you have a problem you can't quite articulate, or an idea that doesn't fit anywhere else. We've built voice-profile systems, AI personality matching tools, security monitoring dashboards, and intelligence briefing platforms. If you have something that feels like it should exist but doesn't, let's talk.

Bad data is quiet until it isn't. Duplicate households, stale accounts, missing fields breaking automations downstream. We run structured audits across your CRM, portfolio platforms, and custodial feeds, and we know exactly where the common problems hide.

Conversions are high-stakes. A custodial transfer, a portfolio platform migration, a broker-dealer switch. The risk is duplicate accounts, missing data, NIGOs that stall the process, and clients who feel every bit of the friction.

Aplodex brings agentic AI into the conversion process to validate data at each stage, flag discrepancies before they become problems, and automate the reconciliation work that normally falls on your ops team. We've worked with Pershing, Fidelity, Schwab, LPL, Orion, Eclipse, and Addepar. We know the object models, the data hierarchies, and where the bodies are buried in a financial services conversion.

The goal is a clean conversion your clients don't notice.

An acquisition in wealth management is an operational event as much as a financial one. You're merging client books, reconciling platforms, aligning billing, onboarding advisors, and trying to do all of it without disrupting client relationships. That's a lot to coordinate manually.

Aplodex builds M&A-specific agents that map the acquiring and target firm's data models, surface conflicts before close, automate the operational integration steps, and track progress across workstreams. We've built this architecture specifically for RIA and broker-dealer transactions. The agent knows the difference between a household duplicate and a genuine new relationship. It knows what a missing standing instruction looks like and flags it before it hits the client.

This isn't a generic project management tool. It's a system built for financial services M&A.
