Why APS XChange?

It's about time we take our internal communications to the next level! APS XChange is an easy-to-use, collaborative platform that has the familiarity of Facebook but is built for our day-to-day work needs. With APS XChange, employees can discuss projects, share organization-wide updates, and instantly communicate with colleagues across APS.

APS XChange will allow us to:

reduce the need for internal collaboration tools such as intranet, telephone systems, video conferencing and distribution lists
simplify communications; because the platform is modeled after Facebook, there's no training required
inspire all levels of the company to embrace digital and mobile, and adopt a culture of speed and transparency
