The Stratum Membership Management software is based on the IBM UniData database and is in place within the UK's top Non Profit membership organizations. These include household names such as The Scout Association, The National Union of Teachers and the Open University. Stratum enables these organizations to effortlessly manage all of their membership requirements. Built using the SystemBuilder environment and 2WebDE, Stratum harnesses the power of the IBM U2 product set to meet the needs of the most sophisticated membership organizations. Stratum is paired with our Visage web Content Management System, which is based on IBM UniVerse, and allows organizations to offer a truly customized web experience for their members. Combining membership profile information with web content allows each member to see the information that is relevant to them.

APT was formed in 1988 and in addition to the development and sale of our application software we are the UK Distributor for U2.
