About Synectics Solutions

Why we do what we do?

Broadening understanding by bringing organisations together to share data and intelligence has been the lifeblood of Synectics business for many years.

Our experience in creating collaborative structured and unstructured data solutions from both public and private sector information is unrivalled, It's this pioneering spirit that has helped to protect and enhance our clients' ability to succeed in markets all around the world.

How we do it

As a company we're focused on engineering applications and data solutions that allow clients to analyse and make sense of their data.

Using some of the very latest software and data modelling techniques we empower them to answer their many complex business challenges by turning information into accurate, timely and reliable intelligence.

Delivering solutions how and where clients need them

We're also aware that our clients understand their challenges better than we do.

So we listen and work very closely with them to ensure the solutions we provide are the right fit, and also accelerate their time to value faster by delivering solutions through a 'Software as a Service' (SaaS) platform.

The things we value

Caring

Recognising the 'sticky out bits'

As a company, we don't just hire resource, we employ the whole person and recognise that all of our people have their 'sticky-out bits' - the quirky elements that make you who you are. Our staff matter, they aren't just a number.

Enthusiasm

Being intense, fun, passionate, and a little bit over-the-top

The Shanahan family axiom of 'there's no such thing as that's not my job' is embodied throughout our company, where the tenacity and excitement for getting things done overrides bureaucratic boundaries

Learning

Knowing we don't know it all

As a group, we are always in learning mode, and are self-motivated to continuously improve ourselves, our knowledge, and our skillsets. We are competitive about learning but we always keep it fun and value team success over individual success.

Commitment

Not stopping until the job is done

Working hard is in our DNA; we go above and beyond what others consider "above and beyond". Our founders also like to remind us of the meaning of synectics: "the coming together of a group of diverse people to solve a common problem". We prioritise people above profits and are not afraid to take an unconventional, dynamic and innovative approach to how we do business.

Communities

Helping one another out

Collective activity is at the heart of everything we do and helping each other out is never too much trouble. We depend on our communal approach for our shared successes, building capabilities with our clients and partners where the whole is greater than the sum of our individual parts.

Our leadership team

Synectics is made up of technical pioneers, creative problem-solvers and fantastic communicators. The one thing that's shared between us all is that our values all align with the vaules that Synectics Solutions was founded on.
