From a three-person startup in California to a global transformation partner, Epik Solutions is quietly shaping the way businesses grow, with purpose, people, and platform-first thinking.
How Epik Solutions got started
In October 2015, Epik Solutions’ CEO and two partners launched Epik Solutions with a simple but powerful idea, help businesses grow by making technology work for people, not the other way around.
“We saw companies struggling with digital change,” said the CEO. “They had systems, platforms, and people, but they weren’t connected. That’s where we knew we could make a difference.”
They chose the name “Epik” to reflect their vision. Not just growth. Not just tech. But epic transformation, the kind that touches customers, employees, and operations at the same time.
What does Epik Solutions do?
Today, Epik Solutions has about 250 employees across the U.S., India, and Mexico. Their services cover:
Digital and AI transformation
Talent acquisition and workforce solutions
Platform services for data integration, aggregation, and visualization
But their approach is what sets them apart.
“We don’t replace existing systems,” their CEO explained. “We build around them. We extend their value. That’s why our deployments are fast and flexible.”
Their tagline, “Simplify and grow”, isn’t just branding. It’s their method. They help businesses take what’s already working and make it more efficient, more connected, and more people-friendly.
Why repeat customers keep coming back
In an industry where long-term partnerships are rare, Epik Solutions has an impressive stat, 90% of their business comes from repeat clients.
That’s not an accident.
“We track every engagement with clear KPIs and service level agreements,” the CEO shared. “If we can’t measure it, we don’t do it.”
The company focuses on solving specific pain points, often ones buried in the back office or overlooked in user journeys. Over time, those improvements stack up.
One of their most impactful projects involved wildfire mitigation work with utility companies, a high-stakes, high-impact area where data and action had to move in sync.
“It wasn’t just about building a tool,” the CEO said. “It was about protecting lives and land using the data already available. That’s the kind of work that motivates us.”
A culture that puts people first
While Epik Solutions helps businesses grow, it has never lost sight of its own people.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company made a bold choice, not a single employee was laid off.
“That was never on the table,” the CEO said. “If we ask people to believe in us, we have to show that we believe in them too.”
That belief goes beyond crisis management. Epik has a global work-from-home policy and encourages employees to work at a pace that suits them.
“Work should fit around life, not the other way around,” their CEO explained. “We hire smart people. We respect how they work best.”
What makes Epik different in a crowded market?
There are plenty of firms offering transformation services. But Epik Solutions takes a more collaborative, layered approach. Their goal isn’t to sell a tool. It’s to create a better experience, for customers, for employees, and for leadership.
“We call ourselves a ‘transformation partner,’ not a vendor,” the CEO said. “That means we work inside the business. We ask hard questions. And we stay for the answers.”
Rather than pushing the latest trend, Epik focuses on practical innovation. They use AI and automation, but only when it fits the problem. And they’re deeply committed to social impact, especially climate tech, where they've built tools to help businesses align with environmental goals.
Looking ahead: What’s next for Epik Solutions?
The team isn’t chasing rapid growth or flashy headlines. Instead, they’re focused on long-term relationships and meaningful impact.
“If our customers succeed, we succeed,” said the CEO. “That’s our business model.”
They continue to expand their footprint across North America and Asia while staying lean, focused, and values-driven.
For businesses stuck between outdated systems and overwhelming tech choices, Epik Solutions offers a clear path forward, one that’s big on vision, but grounded in execution.
And in a world full of complexity, that clarity might be the most transformative thing of all.
