Synon Independent Consultants Program

Helping You Prepare for Client/Server


Client/server technology is taking the market by storm and opportunities are increasing every day. Synon invites you to take advantage of this rapidly growing marketplace by participating in our Independent Consultants Program.
Consultants who benefit the most from Client-Server are those who have the skills to develop and deploy small tactical through strategic enterprise applications. There are many good solutions for low-end development; however, the marketplace is already saturated with an abundance of consultants who specialize in these tools. As a result, rates are already stabilizing or beginning to drop. Since these tools cannot scale up for development of more sophisticated applications, consultants are finding that their customer bases are not expanding. The real consulting opportunities therefore lie in medium to large-scale Client-Server projects.

Participation in Synon's Independent Consultants Program will provide the skills you need to participate in this arena. The program will prepare you to use a world-class, second generation Client-Server development tool, Obsydian, which leverages your existing skills and knowledge. Obsydian provides a full life cycle development environment for building and deploying a variety of Client-Server applications, from tactical departmental applications to those that support the entire business. With Obsydian, you can expand your client base and preserve your billing rates by being able to develop a broad spectrum of business applications. Since Obsydian sales are growing rapidly, consultants skilled in this new technology are in demand. And, as you know, where there is high demand, there are premium rates.
