A Decade of Modernisation Capability

As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, Synthesis has spent more than ten years refining and scaling its modernisation frameworks. Starting with proprietary technology stacks and later expanding into advanced artificial intelligence in 2019, the company has established a strong competitive edge in cloud engineering throughout the region.

In 2025, Synthesis executed several high-impact programmes, including:

• Full-scale cloud modernisation for leading South African banks
• Deployment of agentic AI prototypes and production-grade AI systems for multiple financial institutions
• End-to-end delivery cycles spanning concept design, architectural planning, build, testing and operational release

These initiatives demonstrate the company’s ability to deliver complex solutions that meet stringent performance, regulatory and security requirements.

Specialised AWS Practice

Synthesis maintains a wide and advanced portfolio within the AWS ecosystem, covering cloud architecture, intelligent data solutions, advanced AI engineering, software development and operational management. The company also operates focused practices in regulatory engineering, cryptography and secure payments, enabling it to support industries that demand strict compliance and robust security. Over the years, Synthesis has achieved several AWS competencies, including migration and modernisation, Microsoft workloads, DevOps, financial services and security.
