Webinar Invitation for those Working in the Travel and Transportation Industry

SyntheSys and IBM® are helping teams effectively manage the complexities of developing smart, connected products by using powerful tools to enhance and support the systems and software development life cycle. In the cloud or on-premises, IBM Watson Internet of Things (IBM Watson IoT™) solutions help Systems Engineers and Software Developers to deliver against requirements, respond efficiently to change and create high-quality designs faster - all whilst controlling development costs and meeting compliance needs.

We are thrilled to be collaborating with IBM® to deliver a 1-hour technical webinar which will give delegates an overview of the toolset whilst informing on best practices for the industry. This webinar presents the case around why and how organisations should manage requirements, govern change and test extensively when developing smart products.

Engineers from all functional disciplines, including Senior Managers, Project Managers and team members will find this webinar useful. Those developing complex products (including software) and services within the Travel & Transportation industry will benefit from understanding the tools.

SyntheSys starts the New Year on a high having attained IBM® Gold Business Partner Status

SyntheSys is delighted to announce that we have attained IBM® Gold Business Partner status in the Watson IoT™ Continuous Engineering Competency.  Achieving the Gold Status is no mean feat, and is something we are extremely proud of having gone through a series of stages and assessments to demonstrate our expert knowledge of IBM® tools, how satisfied our IBM® licence customers are, and our ability to reach new customers.

The partner status was achieved following our restructure during 2017, which saw the formation of a new associate group, SyntheSys Direct.  The group handles all licensing, transactional and technical matters connected with software distribution and is led by Managing Director, Su Ross.

Su comments ‘’2017 has been a momentous year for us, so to come into the New Year on such a high note only adds to the positivity we have for 2018.  For us, achieving Gold status has always been about ensuring we are consistently developing our business in a way which benefits and adds value to our customers.  We feel there is no better ‘stamp of approval’ than IBM® awarding us with Gold status.  We will continue to assist our customers to achieve success in their new and existing development projects by continuing to deliver flexible software and solution options, unrivalled consultancy services and unique training packages.’’

Software licence sales is just one element of what we do here at SyntheSys, our offerings stretch much further than deployment of technology.  We facilitate organisations to be able to develop and implement sound management and software & systems development strategies that cut capital investment costs related to Information Technology (IT) purchases.  Our consultancy services are always job-specific and we offer advice on best-practice application of IBM Watson IoT™ tools to real-world development projects.  Our support services include deployment, training, maintenance, and enhancements.  We offer a service where we will work as part of a project team and complete integration, management and development work on behalf of customers.

We welcome discussions around your current and future development projects to understand where SyntheSys Direct can be of assistance and how we may be able to service your development software requirements.  Please contact Su on +44 (0) 7484 915743 or visit the SyntheSys Direct website at http://www.synthesys-direct.co.uk/

Sales Expert Su Ross joins SyntheSys to lead SyntheSys Direct

We are delighted to welcome Su Ross to the SyntheSys family to lead our new associate company, SyntheSys Direct.  Su, who lives in Hampshire, is Managing Director of SyntheSys Direct Ltd, a new company which has been established to serve a growing demand for software licensing which has previously been an element of our Systems Engineering Business Group. 

This venture is the joint brainchild of SyntheSys Managing Director John Hartas and Su, and has, as she emphasises, “fantastic potential for the future.”  SyntheSys Direct will handle licensing, transactional and technical matters connected with software distribution.

SyntheSys provides services to government and industry on the design, testing, delivery and maintenance of information systems.  John said “Over the past 18 months, the growth within our Systems Engineering Business group has taken us into markets and industries which have an increased need for tool support.  Our traditional System Engineering (SE) capability has been centred around mentoring organisations to implement sound and structured SE procedures, which often results in us supporting implementation of new tools or re-licensing of existing tools.  By establishing SyntheSys Direct, we see that this gives us more potential to provide independent services within our Systems Engineering group, whilst benefitting from Su’s unrivalled knowledge of market-leading Systems Engineering tools’’.

Su has a wealth of leadership and commercial experience which positions her well to lead SyntheSys Direct.  She has been working within the software sales industry for the past 16 years, after working as a buyer for a Tier 1 supplier to the automotive industry.

Previously, Su was a Sales Manager for Integrate Systems, where she worked for nearly three years.  She sold systems engineering tools to the aerospace and defence, energy, transport and rail sectors, amongst others.  Prior to this, Su was an account manager at IBM and software client lead for seven years – selling the entire IBM software portfolio into local government.

Su added: “In future, at SyntheSys Direct, the idea is to expand into software sales primarily and also to open up opportunities for other services and training that we currently provide and continue to build on our IBM Business Partner relationship.  This will involve selling to our existing customer base and we hope to attract new customers in markets in which SyntheSys has not traditionally operated.  We hope to take a flexible approach to our software delivery offering a holistic, end to end service with training or services combined.  Fundamentally, we want to add value to our customers and help them become successful in their new and existing development projects.  This is a brand-new venture for SyntheSys and I believe it holds tremendous potential.  I am really looking forward to the new challenge”.

Su enjoys many hobbies including keeping active and fit with running, cardio classes and yoga.  She also rides her motorcycle on trips around Europe.
