About Us
Following a chance encounter that led to the development of a software prototype that was able to reliably extract text from a Word document that was previously thought not to be feasible, Synertec was founded in 1999. The company name reflected the desire to achieve mutuality with our customers in respect of the software we provided, hence Synergy and Technology were combined to become Synertec.
