When many of our customers wrote their applications decades ago, no one imagined they’d still be running successfully today. Yet thousands of business-critical operations continue to rely on software that’s been modernized—not replaced.

That isn’t an accident.

It’s the result of decades of thoughtful engineering and a shared commitment to preserving the investments our customers have made while helping them embrace what’s next.

We’ll be celebrating these remarkable journeys together at this year’s Synergy DevPartner Conference. https://buff.ly/e1mFclj

With brats, pretzel bites, and more potato salad than we knew what to do with, the Synergex Oktoberfest-themed BBQ was a great time. Thanks to the dev team for grilling and organizing!

Some of Synergex’s biggest innovations started with a customer conversation.

Customers wanted to move to Unix. We ported DBL to Unix and educated customers on the new platform with our Passport to Unix program.

Customers wanted modern development tools. We integrated DBL with Visual Studio, first supporting .NET development and then traditional Synergy development.

Customers wanted better integration capabilities. We developed technologies like Harmony Core and our Streaming Integration Platform.

For 50 years, our roadmap has been shaped by listening—and building alongside the developers who use our tools every day to advance their software.

That’s a tradition we’re proud to continue.

We’re looking forward to celebrating with our customers at this year’s Synergy DevPartner Conference. https://buff.ly/TRoN3l5

Looking Back. Moving Forward.

Two new sessions just added to Synergex DevPartner Conference! 🎉

Accelerating Thoughtful Design Through AI Iteration
If you’re looking for a fast, low-risk place to apply AI to a legacy application, the interface is it. Lauren Cunningham, Information Systems Team Lead, shows how to generate design alternatives, build working prototypes, and refine them in a fraction of the usual time, with a repeatable workflow you can take home.

How Do You Eat an Elephant? Inside Our Biggest Migration Yet
When a customer needed to move a decades-old application from OpenVMS to Linux, Synergex took on the most ambitious project in Professional Services history. Rosanne Brill, Professional Services Consultant and former VP Software Development, shares what it takes to modernize foundational C routines and prepare for data migration. She’ll cover where testing fell short, how AI became essential to the work, and practical lessons for your own codebase.

Catch both sessions at the Synergex DevPartner Conference, October 27–29 in Gold River, CA.
