Synergy-l listserv

Access to beta software
You will have access to beta versions of new Synergy/DE software. Beta testers get a jump-start on using new features and also have an opportunity to provide input towards the released products.
Success Partner Conference (SPC) registrations
Attending the annual SPC is a key component of your Synergy/DE investment; the knowledge and insight you gain at the conference helps ensure that you are advancing your applications effectively.
Professional Services
Synergex’s Professional Services Group (PSG) provides a number of services that can help you advance your applications and maximize the use of your Synergy/DE products, including:
  • Developer training.
  • Code samples to get you started with a new technology implementation.
  • Access to our CodeGen tool. If your project requires a lot of similar code to be created, this PSG utility can generate a significant portion of it for you.
  • Assistance with non-Synergy/DE products. If you require assistance with other products, for example SQL Server, Infragistics, or Visual Studio, PSG may be able to assist you.
  • Advisory services. PSG advise you on application design, new technologies, and other areas.
Your Synergy/DE account manager will work with you to determine how you can use PSG most effectively.
3rd-party product support
The Developer Support team will be able to answer your questions and help you resolve issues on technologies and functionality developed by Synergex. They will also try to assist you with issues you encounter when using non-Synergy/DE products that are part of your overall solution. When dealing with issues in 3rd-party products, Developer Support will often have to refer you to the 3rd-party company that supports the product. In some specific cases, Developer Support may be able to be your liason with the 3rd-party company and navigate your issue or question through the appropriate channels to get you a resolution. Your Synergy/DE account manager can discuss this service with you.
Priority escalation of issues
Your issues will be promptly escalated for faster resolution. Issues may be escalated to the Developer Support Manager, to Professional Services, and/or to the Development Department, depending on the issue.
Summit team membership
The Synergy/DE Summit team is a customer group that provides input on Synergy/DE product direction. Members receive early information about Synergy/DE plans and have an opportunity to influence those plans.
