Synergist is a powerful, cross platform, relational database application. It can be accessed from a PC or Mac using either native client software or a web browser. In addition the server component runs natively on either a Windows machine or Mac. This ensures excellent performance on either platform whether in the office or working remotely.
Synergist has been designed to be installed in organisations that do not necessarily have dedicated IT resource. For example, updates to the system are downloaded overnight and upgrades performed automatically to ensure all clients can benefit from the latest Synergist developments.
In addition the server is configured to create copies of your data on a scheduled basis for incorporation in your standard backup routine. Synergist allows users to continue working whilst backups are performed automatically in the background ensuring data security without interruption.
This approach offers the performance, data security and reliability benefits of a locally installed system with the automatic update facility of a remotely hosted solution.
