applications.

Fresh thinking

Empowering business professionals to shape business processes without being chained to IT applications.

A source of frustration for over 20 years …

How can we enjoy the flexibility of familiar desktop tools while also getting the power, data quality and robustness of an enterprise application?

In the beginning, there were spreadsheets

A great personal productivity tool. I can get answers

quickly.

Then the need to share data …

Oh no, the spreadsheets are full of errors … and

who has the latest version!?

Wasted resources

Sound familiar?Huge overhead fixing

“bad data”. Made much worse when many hands make

edits.

We often hear …

• I want to retain spreadsheets for the familiarity and flexibility• I don’t want to spend a fortune and wait an age for an enterprise

application that few will embrace• I want robust spreadsheets that can be safely shared with and

updated by my entire team• I want to keep this guy happy …

The Synapse solution - NanoApps

Everyone uses familiar desktop spreadsheets. A

single click checks the data for quality and synchronises

changes in the cloud to create ‘one

version of the truth’.

Intelligent data synchronization

About NanoApps

• A NanoApp is a spreadsheet, connected to the Synapse Cloud Server

• A simple toolbar allows for secure synchronisation of spreadsheet data with the Server

It looks like this …

An example

• This example shows typical resource/staff data that can easily be created in any department

• The Sync button checks data integrity as people enter it and then merges their changes in the Cloud Server

Building your own systems

• NanoApps can be easily assembled together to create bigger applications – hours rather than days

• You can start small then grow the functionality• Business Rules can be created using ordinary

spreadsheet formula syntax – which Synapse then store in the Cloud Server to ensure they are not overwritten

• Your spreadsheet Reports and Dashboards are refreshed in real-time when ‘Sync’ gets the latest data

How does Synapse deploy the solution?

• If you have spreadsheets already in place, Synapse can use them

• This means near zero training for your team

• Synapse charge a simple monthly OPEX cost based per connected user – no setup, no lengthy consulting

• Our references include a leading UK Bank and Swedish retailer

Cloud PMO – Swedish Retailer

Synapse auto-builds a new programme report

as new data arrives.
