Two customer collaborations have delivered some significant enhancements in SYNERGi’s latest version – 5.3.2.

SYNERGi is IRM’s GRC platform and is used by organisations to develop, maintain and report compliance against legal and regulatory obligations as well as supporting a pervasive and continual approach to privacy, cyber security and operational risk

The latest version 5.3.2. signals the end of a productive quarter and the beginning of an exciting period for SYNERGi.  We have invested significant time and resources into collaborating with Telefonica and CKHH over the past three months in an effort to deliver two significant enhancements to the platform.
