Our most asked questions
Here are the key things you need to know about how APO works and what it can do for your organisation.
Does APO Include Artificial Intelligence Technologies?
Yes, APO includes the use of Artificial Intelligence technology. It is used extensively in the on‑board help system.
It is not used in finding the solutions to problems or developing answers to questions for very simple reasons:
- The current most advanced forms of generative A.I. use vast volumes of cleaned data to identify patterns and aberrations. The data available to APO is minuscule in comparison.
- Data used by APO represents the internal planning of the organisations using APO, which is very confidential information owned by a single organisation and therefore highly unlikely to be shared outside the organisation, which prohibits the identification of patterns and aberrations in the same way.
For Artificial Intelligence to be able to do what APO does will require it to develop into a state known as “Theory of Mind”, which will be capable of understanding and remembering human emotions while adjusting their behaviours in response. You could talk to a “Theory of Mind” AI almost like it was a human. It is currently entirely theoretical.
Is APO Secure?
In general, YES, APO is a secure application.
To gain access to APO an authorised user must enter a username and password combination and then, optionally, transition a multi‑factor authentication sequence.
Additionally, System Administrators can restrict authorised users to components of application functionality at three levels and also restrict authorised users to limited or no portions of the data available for access (for example, if the user’s access is restricted they will not even see the data that they are not authorised to access). A pragmatic example is providing a project manager access to only information about the project they are managing and perhaps even restricting the project manager to entering only project status information.
Thus APO can be used collaboratively, providing access to only the functionality and data required by any individual to perform their role within APO.
Can Kepa assure me that our investment data is protected?
Kepa has gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure the protection of our clients’ data, which is held in a high‑security data centre in Sydney, Australia, frequently backed up, encrypted at rest and transferred over the net in encrypted form, making sure that data sovereignty of our clients’ data is always protected.
As a consultant, can I use APO to support our client engagements?
Yes, APO enables accredited consultants to support their client engagements, allowing our partners to control user billing, access rights and usage.
How long will it take to set us up in APO?
Once you have been granted access to APO you can begin work immediately. As soon as you have system access you can consult the “Value Model Library” and immediately download and use any of the Value Models available.
It may take as much as an hour for one person to configure APO via the “Settings” functionality so it will work optimally for your organisation.
If I have problems using APO, where do I get help?
APO includes extensive help articles that are accessed from within the application. You can also access help through the user community and our support partners.
Kepa Software is always there to help our clients and support partners. We can also train your people to be “APO Accredited Professionals”.
