Epik Solutions CEO Calls for Simpler Systems in Modern Business
Epik Solutions CEO, based in Walnut Creek, California, urges leaders to reduce complexity and focus on real workflows
WALNUT CREEK, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 26, 2026 /The CEO of Epik Solutions is calling on organisations to rethink how they approach enterprise systems, urging a shift away from constant tool replacement and towards simplifying how work actually gets done.
Following insights shared in a recent feature article, the CEO highlighted a growing issue across industries: companies are adding more technology but not improving outcomes.
"We kept seeing teams slowed down by systems that were meant to help them, " the CEO said. "The issue wasn 't effort. It was structure. "
The Rising Cost of Complexity
Research shows the scale of the problem. According to McKinsey, nearly 70% of large transformation efforts fail to meet expectations. Gartner reports that over 60% of system replacement projects exceed budget or timeline targets.
At the same time, IDC data shows that only 32% of organisations trust their own internal data, often due to fragmented systems that do not align.
"When data doesn 't match across platforms, decisions slow down, " the CEO said. "People spend more time checking numbers than acting on them. "
He noted that many companies continue to add tools in response to problems, which often creates more layers instead of solving the root issue.
"One team told us they had four systems open just to answer one question, " he said. "That 's not progress. "
A Call to Simplify, Not Replace
Epik Solutions is advocating for a more measured approach. Instead of replacing entire systems, the company encourages organisations to start by mapping workflows and identifying friction points.
"Most of the time, the system isn 't the problem, " the CEO said. "It 's how the steps are structured. "
In one example, observing a routine task revealed it took nearly five times longer than expected. Adjusting the process reduced time and errors without introducing new software.
"We didn 't add anything, " the CEO said. "We removed steps. "
This approach has led to consistent results. Epik Solutions reports that around 90% of its work comes from repeat clients, supported by structured KPI tracking and service-level reviews.
"If the outcome doesn 't improve, we adjust, " the CEO said. "That discipline builds trust. "
Why the Human Factor Matters
The company is also raising awareness about what it calls the "human gap " - the difference between how leaders think work happens and how it actually happens.
According to PwC, projects that include early employee input are 35% more likely to succeed, yet many organisations skip this step.
"We once watched a frontline user struggle with a system for five minutes, " the CEO said. "That observation changed the entire design. "
He added that people are not resistant to change, but they resist unnecessary friction.
"When systems create extra work, adoption drops, " he said. "It 's that simple. "
What Leaders and Teams Can Do Now
Rather than focusing only on large-scale initiatives, Epik Solutions is encouraging individuals and teams to take practical steps within their own roles.
"Start small, " the CEO said. "Pick one workflow. Time it. Count the steps. Look for what can be removed. "
He also recommends checking how systems connect before investing in new tools.
"If your systems aren 't talking to each other, adding another one won 't fix it, " he said.
Additional actions include:
Observing real workflows instead of relying on assumptions
Reducing process steps wherever possible
Creating clear feedback channels for employees
Measuring adoption and usage, not just launch success
"Complexity builds up over time, " the CEO said. "Clarity has to be built on purpose. "
Looking Ahead
As organisations continue to invest in AI and advanced systems, the CEO believes the same principle will apply.
"You can 't automate confusion, " he said. "If the foundation is messy, the outcome will be messy. "
Epik Solutions plans to continue advocating for process-first thinking and practical system design across industries, including infrastructure and climate-focused initiatives.
"Our goal is not to push more technology, " the CEO said. "It 's to help people work better with what they already have. "
