MOBILEEXPERIENCE
Our experience in mobile technologies predates the smart phone. Before
the advant of the iOS and Android phones, we developed solutions for
PDAs and other mobile devices. Currently, we develop apps for all major
platforms. For us, mobile development has been a way of stepping away
from our traditional source of revenue – outsourcing – and tapping into
the creativity of our team to come up with new apps serving a variety of
purposes. Despite our current focus on our own apps, we are always glad
to help others realize their own creative potential. Let us help you develop
your app, be it a solution for making your business better or „the next big
thing to rock the mobile world”...
The bread and butter for Synthesis-NET has traditionally been outsourcing and IT consulting. Providing nearshore and offshore
development services has allowed our company to grow from 5 to 90 employees over the past decade and growth in this area
continues unabated.
The key to our success in outsourcing has been our team’s remarkably low attrition rates. There is nothing more frustrating
than spending weeks or even months training staff in the ins and outs of your business only to lose them as they move on to
other jobs. As a company we pride ourselves in paying as much attention to the needs of our employees as to those of our
clients. The result: stable teams that are dedicated to ensuring the clients’ needs are met.
We offer expertise in a range of areas including coding, testing, analysis, design, project management, translation and
localization using a variety of technologies. Our clients range from small start-ups to international publicly traded companies
operating in areas ranging from eHealth to the textile industry.

The world is experiencing waves of technological revolution at an
unparalleled pace. Every day greets us with new innovations and technical
and business solutions. Those who fail to keep pace with and take advantage
of these innovations will ultimately fall behind the competition. For example,
a growing number of businesses have realized that constantly expanding
and modernizing internal IT infrastructure is a futile effort and have started
to shift such infrastructure and services into the Cloud. By adopting Cloud
services, companies essentially externalize their IT resources and capacities
to providers that can customize them to fit their needs. This process
allows for unprecedented cost efficiencies as companies no longer have
to make large investments in redundant IT infrastructure that will quickly
become obsolete. A key advantage of Cloud infrastructure lies in the fact
that resources can be scaled to the real-time needs of companies without
jeopardizing the availability of resources or security of their data. However,
taking full advantage of the possibilities offered by the Cloud requires careful
planning and special technical competencies. If you would like to migrate
existing infrastructure to or develop new infrastructure in the Cloud,
Synthesis-Net LLC has the know-how and resources to help you take full
advantage of all the possibilities the Cloud can offer.

INTRO
WHY EASTERN EUROPE,
WHY SYNTHESIS-NET
TOP OUTSOURCE REGIONS 2012-2013
Eastern Europe has for the past couple decades been a dominant player in IT outsourcing. By volume, the region outranks all
other regions including Southeast Asia and South America (according to ranking such as IDC and THOLONS). Although some
other regions do have cost advantages compared to Eastern Europe, these advantages are generally offset by the added costs
associated with their geographical location and ease of access, infrastructural issues, and even cultural differences. Eastern
Europeans are culturally and educationally little different than their Western European counterparts and have the advantage
of being EU members or partners and in the same time zone. Even compared to North America, the cultural and educational
similarities far outweigh the differences…
These facts have led many European and North American companies to seek offshore and nearshore services from partners in
Eastern Europe. Hungary holds a prominent place among outsource destinations with only Ukraine and Romania having higher
market volumes. Budapest, for example, is ranked in the top three of European outsourcing hubs (IDC, THOLONS, Fortune 500,
Business Week, and Computerweekly).
Synthesis-NET is located in Győr in western Hungary which from a number of perspectives has advantages compared even to
the capital city, Budapest. The town is a major logistical hub located on major East-West, North-South rail, road and even water
(the Danube) transportation corridors. It is a mere hour by train or car to central Europe’s most important international airport –
Vienna International Airport. The town enjoys a high standard of living, low unemployment rates and yet is more affordable than
Budapest. Additionally, the town is home to a university that is not only an attractive R&D partner, but also offers a continuous
flow of skilled labor in a variety of disciplines.
HEALTHCARESOFTWARE SOLUTIONS
OUR PROJECTS:
Ever since Synthesis-Net LLC was founded, it has been
in partnership with Haemonetics Software Solutions, a
leading multinational company providing blood management
solutions, mostly in the US, but also in Canada and Europe.
Our company is involved in the development of software that
are used in the largest blood centers and blood banks around
the world. Software developed by us traces the blood’s path
from the moment the blood is drawn until it gets to a patient,
while the blood is analyses and several tests are carried out
on it. Such development requires extraordinary precision,
because malfunction may lead to a patient’s death. Besides
the development teams, there are several teams specialized
in testing, who ensure the proper operation of the specific
software modules. Our company is extremely proud to have
grown from a simple partnership to a strategic partner over
the years. This is a great example of how Synthesis-NET got
everything it takes to succeed, and with which we can also
contribute to the success of our partners.
HSS ARCHITECTURE: Java-based software framework for plasma
EQUE: self-administered donor registration system, health history questionnaire and assessment tool
LOGIC: integrated software solution for the tracking, managing and reviewing the disposition of health care products and related
compliance issue information
BLOODTRACK: a management system for use of blood products in hospitals.
SAFETRACE TX: a transfusion service management system, which maintains a complete test and transfusion history for the
patient, and comprehensive management of blood products and supplies from receipt to final shipment and disposition.
INFRASTRUCTUREMONITORINGUNIQUE SOLUTION IN A VMWARE ENVIRONMENT
The development of a company's IT infrastructure is no easy
task, in addition, measuring its effectiveness takes complex
and expensive solutions. We have developed a system that
can monitor virtual infrastructures running in a VMware
environment that, compared to the similar solutions on the
market, does not require an IT specialist to operate. The key to
our system is an intuitive user interface that virtually anyone
can manage. By processing historical data and analyzing
current load information, VIMfacilitates decision-making
regarding the optimization of the use of a company’s virtual
infrastructure capacity.
HIGHLIGHTED POSSIBILITIES OF VIM
• Historical and real-time monitoring (and graphical
representation) of physical (host) and virtual (VM)
resources in a VMware-based virtual infrastructure
• Generation of warnings and alerts based on user-defined
thresholds
• Automated E-mails and generation of reports based on
user-defined criteria
• Support for Active Directory as user database
• Configurable access management system allowing the
assignment of users to resources
• Supported by most browsers and mobile devices
SIMPLE, PLUG-AND-PLAY INSTALLATION. NO NEED FOR AN
IT SPECIALIST
The application is available preinstalled on a virtual machine
or a microcontroller.The advantage of the microcontroller is
that the system also processes and displays sensor data of
ambient conditions near the controller (e.g., temperature,
humidity, etc.).Users only need to analyze results. Changes
to the virtual infrastructure - such as structural changes
and the detection of new hosts and virtual machines – are
automatically tracked by the system obviating the need to
install additional modules (agents).
ERP SYSTEMSIn the life of every business, there comes a day when the processes can no longer be managed in an excel file, and the solution
to manage different processes with different software solutions becomes disturbing. That is when the need of changing to
an ERP system arises. Our company has extensive experience in this area and we are glad to help in the planning and
implementation stages, whether it is a unique solution or not.
Some of the modules of the systems developed by us:
• a module supporting financial processes
• a module supporting storage processes
• solutions supporting management decisions
TIMESHEET MANAGERWhen the company was founded, we have spent a lot of
time figuring out a system with which our employees can
easily register their time, and can provide useful information
for the management. As no software meeting our needs
were available on the market, we began developing our own
software. The development has grown tremendously over the
years with more and more features added to the system. Our
latest plan is a mobile application into which our enterprise
security system and time-tracking software is integrated. This
mobile app would facilitate work-related administration for
our employees even more. With over 10 years of experience
in time-tracking software, we can provide expertise to our
partners from the easiest to the most complex systems.
ENTERPRISE SECURITY SYSTEM WITH INNOVATION TECHNOLOGYEnterprise Security System, ESS developed by our company
is an innovative access control system that is cheap and
easy to implement. The innovative nature of this system
is the possibility to enter the building not only by entering
a unique code, but also by using a mobile phone. The app
can be installed on your device by a centrally generated QR
code, which the system can recognize and automatically
suggest door opening when approaching the entrance. The
door opening can then be validated by pressing a button.
Besides several useful information, the app also monitors the
way we arrive at work (by car, by bike or on foot). The latest
devices can even open the front door by using NFC (Near
Field Communication) technology. ESS user authorization
request can be managed in the central user database (Active
Directory, LDAP).
SHARING ECONOMYWhat do Uber, Airbnb, HomeAway, and Lending Club have in common besides their billion dollar valuations? They are all
pioneers in the same collaborative revolution which isreshaping consumer behavior and economies across the globe. So, what
is collaborative consumption? The collaborative or sharing economy’s growth is closely associated with coming of age of the
newest generation of workers – the millennials. The movement is very much grounded in the circumstances of this generation
– high unemployment, underemployment, stagnant wages, limited assets, increasing pressure on the world’s resources, etc.
Synthesis- Net has been involved in sharing economy research for nearly a decade. We have helped our partners develop
solutions in this area and now plan on launching are own solution that we have been using for the benefit of our employees for
some time.
ABOUT SHARENDIPITYSharendipity is not unique in terms of its functionality and goals. Many thousands of sharing platforms are in operation across
the globe and the sharing economy is growing at a rate of 25% per annum. However, our approach to the sharing economy
makes us unique in Hungary and probably internationally as well. Sharendipity evolved at Synthesis-NET as a way to enable
our employees to use and benefit from the considerable amount of resources and infrastructure that the company owns, but
does not use on an everyday basis. In addition, Sharendipity gives us a means to reward our staff by offering them items that
would be unnecessary or prohibitively expensive for them to purchase on their own. By allowing users to vote on items to be
procured from the profits generated by the platform (through rental fees) and contributions of the company, costs related to
such procurements can be more evenly distributed and all employees have a chance to use the items.
WHAT MAKES SHARENDIPITY BETTER?Many sharing platforms attempt to create communities
from disparate strangers leading to mediocre results or
even outright failure. By focusing on a smaller existing
community, Sharendipity not only overcomes trust issues,
but also improves the logistics of the platform – users do not
have to travel to pick up and return items. In addition, since
Sharendipity caters to existing communities of users, it offers
benefits to those communities who, in turn, play an important
role in promoting the growth of the platform.
ADVANTAGES FOR THE EMPLOYEE• increasing the utilisation of company assets
• extending employee benefits
• motivational tool
• additional income from dormant company assets
• expansion of company assets based on real employee
requirements
• affordable opportunities to use otherwise expensive items
(tools, appliances, electronics, etc.)
• option to suggest new shared company assets
• opportunity to add personal items to the shared inventory
and specify their own fees so they can even earn extra
income
MICROCONTROLLERS HOW’S MY PLANT?
HOW DOES HOW’S MY PLANT WORK?
In the age of industrialized farming, chemical pesticides and GMOs – and rising health concerns - people are beginning to pay
more attention to the food they eat. In addition to the growing number of gardens (both suburban and urban), window farms,
balcony planters, and herbs growing in the living room or kitchen window are gaining popularity. These mini gardens can range
from a tomato plant in a pot, to several plants on a plant stand or even a hydroponic or aquaponic system. Especially in the
latter form, these gardens require regular supervision, since the plants are not cultivated in a natural environment and, therefore,
factors such as lighting, water supply, pH value and nutrients become important considerations.
This Web and mobile-based plant monitoring system was
developed by our R&D team, together with our partners.
How’s my plant? system consists of a microcontroller that
manages various sensors and output devices. Sensors are
used to measure parameters (temperature, humidity, pH, etc.),
while an output device can be a smart connector to which
different devices are connected (an irrigation system, a fan, a
humidifier, additional CFL or a LED lighting, etc.). The sensors
transmit data to the microcontroller, which then forwards this
information to a cloud-based server. Users receive readings
from the sensors via the Web or mobile client. The Web or
mobile interface also allows users to control the connected
output devices. The interface can be used to set alerts, which
users can receive (via Email, SMS, etc.) if certain thresholds
are exceeded for various parameters. Users can then intervene
- even remotely - in cases where thresholds are exceeded (e.g.
turn the humidifier on if humidity levels are low). With How’s
my plant? your plants need never be left untended again.
THE SOLUTION IS UNIQUE IN A NUMBER OF WAYS• intuitive user interface: easily interpreted real-time and
historical data
• customizable Web and mobile client templates
• customizable plug-and-play solution
• supports a variety of microcontrollers
• sensors can be individually set allowing tracking of
specific needs of each plant (e.g. temperature thresholds
for tomato plants and orchids would be set differently
reflecting their preferred microclimates).
• the sensors can be placed independently from each other
• management of output devices: the system can control
different output devices such as an irrigation system or an
external webcam connected to a smart connector
• automated events and alerts: configure instructions to be
sent by the system automatically to output devices (e.g.
to start a fan) when a threshold is exceeded
• user-defined alerts: if the conditions set by the users are
met, the system sends a message to a specified phone
number or Email address
• multi-platform support: data can be monitored via mobile
devices (smart phones, tablets, smartwatches/Android,
iOS and Windows Phone) or the Web interface
MULTIMEDIA TELEVISION WITHOUT CABLESNowadays, big TV screens lining the walls of stores entice
customers with their advertisements. In many places, the
overall picture is destroyed by the DVD player and all the
cables hanging down the wall. USB drives are a better option
but the main drawback of both solutions is that the content is
put on a storage device, which makes it extremely difficult to
make any changes in it when needed. Synthesis-NET offers
a unique solution to this problem, where the information is
streamed to the TV screen and the content can be easily edited
via a web-based interface. Besides stores, the system can be
used in corporate environments, where, in addition to news
and common information, birthday wishes for employees can
be displayed, for example.
NEW TECHNOLOGIESAT THE FOREFRONT IN INNOVATION
IBEACON, BLE, INDOOR POSITIONING
AUGMENTED REALITY
In today’s digital era, a new revolutionary technology arises every now and then, of which we have seen quite a few examples in
the previous decades. Our goal is to acquire an up-to-date knowledge of such new technologies, and thereof, be able to provide
our partners exciting, alternative options.
The iBeacon protocol was recently developed by Apple and
implemented in iOS 7. The iBeacon holds the potential for
pioneering a range of new applications that may boost the
indoor positioning system and indoor marketing soon enough.
Bluetooth Low Energy: a new standard that enables
communication between devices with an extremely low
energy consumption. Our references: ESS (our own enterprise
security system), Gyro Mouse (using the smartphone as a
mouse), Computer Locker (if we step away from the computer
at a certain distance, it gets automatically locked).
Augmented Reality: completing the real-world environment
with virtual elements that can be seen through your phone’s
camera. Our references: 3D BlockMastAR is a game based
on physics that allows players to build structures using
virtual building blocks. This app is a small foretaste of the
possibilities the Augmented Reality technology has to offer.
