Founded in 2013, cloud solutions and managed services provider Synergi was created to meet the fast-growing demands for cloud-based technologies in the North. Recognising the need for SMEs in the region to harness powerful enterprise-level solutions to empower innovation, growth, and agility, Synergi was launched to provide a next generation "born in the cloud" technology partner
Last year saw the launch of their managed services practice, enabling Synergi to pair their cloud solutions with co-manged or fully-managed services. This evolution of the business means Synergi brings to the market a highly unique offering to small and medium businesses in the north. The ability to both deploy cloud software applications and provide first-class technical support to organisations as part of their managed service means Synergi is perfectly placed to drive productivity for organisations through automation, teamwork, business applications, and security-driven solutions. Over the past eight years Synergi has grown, adapted, and innovated to remain at the forefront of modern technologies as cloud offerings have developed. As an award-winning, Microsoft Gold Partner and highly accredited organisation, working with best-in-class technology partners, Synergi has helped a wide variety of clients across multiple sectors seeing unprecedented growth since its inception. A recent brand evolution from the business draws the eye to the recognisable ‘i’ within the Synergi logo. When they say they ‘put the ‘i’ in more than just innovation’ they mean it. Their breadth and depth of knowledge, underpinned by their modern take on technology, facilitates improved agility and streamlined processes which puts organisations in a strong position for future growth. The technology drivers in 2020 “The events of last year allowed CIOs to overcome any reluctance of moving mission critical workloads from on-premises to the cloud,” said Sid Nag, research vice president at Gartner, the world’s leading research and advisory company. This statement reflects the huge shift in mindset throughout 2020 which saw many organisations re-assess their IT strategies and technology roadmap. The events of 2020 were the catalyst for many organisations to turn their focus to remote working, collaboration and data storage and security in the cloud. With an increasing number of tools connecting remote teams such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Valo, and Box (to name but a few) it is easier than ever for teams to stay united, connected, and informed, no matter where or when they are working. Customer first approach Synergi’s commitment to customer success has been key from the outset. Working with best of breed technologies with highly trained and certified staff Synergi have the skills and talent to deliver solutions that work. Proud to work with some of the most recognisable names in the region including Northumbrian Water and Great North Air Ambulance, Synergi put the focus on the right technology to fit the organisation. Their approach to building long term relationships with their clients means implementing the right technologies to solve pain points and realise ambitions. A modern approach to technology Synergi offers a number of security and managed service tools, allowing organisations to protect their data and follow best practice as set out by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO). Synergi’s tools, time, and training can enhance the security of critical business data offering peace of mind. These cloud-driven solutions or managed services can then in turn improve security, boost productivity, engage employees, and foster a flexible and agile working environment that will allow businesses to differentiate themselves and remain competitive. Practice what you preach Within the past year, Synergi has undertaken two key internal projects, evolving the company intranet and rolling out a number of technology-driven wellbeing changes. These projects have led to improved internal processes, and enabled the team to better inform and guide businesses who are seeking similar solutions. A continued vision At the heart of Synergi’s vision to create a next generation “born in the cloud” technology partner is its people; customers, partners and team Synergi. With a continued vision to support their customers’ success as a trusted modern IT partner, Synergi are as focused on empowering their staff as they are their customers, providing industry leading training and a raft of benefits centred around work-life balance including a flexible working day and unlimited holidays for their team. Their learning-driven company culture supports their employees in staying up to date on the latest changes in the digital business landscape, meaning their team is always able to offer businesses the most up-to-date information and advice. The past year has bolstered their message and plans for 2021 and beyond. For the team at Synergi supporting their customers through a challenging year and putting technologies in place to support growth to ensure continuity remains at the top of their agenda for the coming year.
