About SYNAQ

SYNAQ was established in 2004 with the aim of reducing the barriers to technology adoption across the globe. By focusing on Linux and Open Source Software, SYNAQ is able to design and build simple to use applications that deliver real business value at the fraction of the cost of proprietary alternatives.


At SYNAQ, our mantra is breaking the barriers to technology.
We believe that technology should be affordable, accessible and simple to use.

With our expertise in messaging, security and enterprise infrastructure, SYNAQ has built one of the leading cloud-based messaging infrastructures available today processing in excess of 400 million mails a month. Combine this with our passion for customer service and technological excellence and you’ll understand why the people that we attract are in love with what we do, our customers and our potential to change the world.

Access

Technology access is reserved for the privileged few. High bandwidth costs, expensive equipment and cumbersome licenses are but a few reasons why technology isn't easily accessible to the majority of businesses in South Africa and across the globe.

Skills & Knowledge

At SYNAQ, we hire the best people and constantly update their technical certifications and customer services training to ensure that they remain the best. This allows us to constantly innovate on our product set and ensure that we back up our products with superior customer support.

Complexity

80% of the features provided are never used. Bloated software is everywhere, from the word processor that you use on a daily basis to the ERP system implemented that never delivers the value promised. At SYNAQ we aim to reduce the complexity to software by focusing on only the 20% of features that real people use.

Cost

The high costs of traditional proprietary software has posed a barrier for many businesses, large and small. By using open source software, we lower the cost of bringing technology to you, without compromising on features or quality.

Time

By ensuring that we deliver our solutions and commitments on time, we save you time so that you can focus on your business.
