Company Leadership Urges Businesses to "Simplify and Grow" Through Balance, Sustainability, and Purpose
WALNUT CREEK, CA / ACCESS Newswire / January 8, 2026 / Following a recent feature spotlight on Epik Solutions and its co-founder, the CEO is using the company's platform to advocate for a new kind of business transformation - one that places people, purpose, and planet at the center of innovation.
In the interview, the CEO shared insights from Epik Solutions' decade-long journey in digital transformation, emphasizing that success in technology isn't just about automation or disruption - it's about creating balance between progress and humanity.
"Work should fit into life, not the other way around," the CEO said. "Technology should make people's lives easier - not more complicated. Our mission has always been to help businesses simplify and grow, while staying true to their people and their values."
A Call for Human-Centered Innovation
Epik Solutions, a global firm with 250 employees across the U.S., India, and Mexico, is calling on businesses to rethink traditional approaches to digital transformation. The company's model - focused on optimizing customer, employee, IT, and back-office experiences - offers an alternative to the "rip and replace" mindset that dominates much of the industry.
According to a 2024 Gartner report, 70% of digital transformation projects fail due to poor employee adoption and cultural misalignment. The Digital Transformation Lead believes this points to a deeper issue: the human element is often missing from the equation.
"We can't forget the people behind the systems," he said. "The best technology feels invisible - it supports, empowers, and respects how people actually work."
Epik Solutions' own 90% client retention rate shows that technology can be both innovative and humane when designed with people in mind.
Sustainability and Social Responsibility in Action
Beyond business transformation, Epik Solutions has invested heavily in climate technology and social impact initiatives - including wildfire mitigation projects with major utility partners. These efforts reflect global research from the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, which shows that climate-driven disasters have tripled since the 1980s.
"Technology can help us prevent the next crisis, not just respond to it," the Platform Lead said. "Our wildfire mitigation work shows the impact of combining data, AI, and empathy. It can save lives and protect the planet."
Epik Solutions is encouraging other tech companies to commit resources to sustainability-focused projects, no matter their size or stage.
Leading With Balance and Respect
Epik Solutions' internal philosophy mirrors the change it advocates externally. The company offers flexible global work-from-home options and prioritizes employee well-being as a core driver of long-term performance. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company did not lay off a single employee, reinforcing its people-first approach.
"We built this company on trust and transparency," the CEO said. "If you take care of your people, they'll take care of the mission."
This message resonates at a time when burnout and disengagement are widespread. The 2025 Gallup Global Workplace Report shows that only 23% of employees worldwide feel engaged at work - a challenge Epik Solutions hopes to address through advocacy, example, and open dialogue.
How Businesses - and Individuals - Can Help
The CEO encourages leaders, entrepreneurs, and even individuals outside the tech sector to join the movement toward simpler, more sustainable work.
"Start with one thing you can simplify," he suggests. "Your workflow, your meetings, or even your mindset. Every small step toward clarity helps the bigger picture grow."
Epik Solutions plans to release open white papers and free community webinars later this year to help organizations adopt people-first digital strategies.
