Synex ViewPort References

Synex ViewPort was developed from scratch from the experience of earlier products, and a number of pilot projects were undertaken during its development, refining technology that we have been specializing in since 1990, first at the Royal Institute of Technology, and continued at Synex Information AB as of 1993—establishing an expertise in the field which is unrivalled.

Synex ViewPort's immediate adoption by customers in all major industrial segments (such as automotive, semi-conductor, computers, pharmaceutical, off-shore, telecommunications, defense) attest to the fact that the software is in a league of its own. We have consistently received high acclaim from its users.
