“Our participation to the UN Global Compact strengthens the business practices that have always been fundamental to the way Synergy has been operating for the past 23 years,” says Dr. Ashot Hovanesian, Synergy’s CEO and Founder. “We remain committed to continuing practicing business – both products and operations – in a mode that advances the broader development goals of the United Nations, including the SDGs. Moreover, we are willing to undertake new practical actions that will contribute to the increase of responsibility of the global business community”, adds Dr. Hovanesian.

Synergy’s mission as a software development and consultancy company is helping governments, donor organizations, international nonprofits and global companies improve their service delivery and organizational effectiveness, as well as achieve informed decision-making.

In signing the UN Global Compact, Synergy joins over 9000 companies and organizations around the world, who have committed to corporate citizenship and responsibility. As a signatory, Synergy complies to complete and submit an annual Communication on Progress, demonstrating its progress working towards the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact.

Synergy International System announces its intention to open a representative branch in Kigali, Rwanda, in 2019. This decision comes in line to Synergy’s long-term commitment to supporting Rwanda’s growth and modernization.

Within Synergy’s collaboration with the Rwandan Government, Dr. Ashot Hovanesian, PhD, CEO and Founder, visited Rwanda from January 28 to February 1, 2019, along with Synergy’s IECMS project Manager Khachatur Matevosyan. The visit included official meetings with Rwandan Minister of Justice Mr. Busingye Johnston and Chief of Justice Prof. Sam Rugege to discuss further engagement and cooperation scopes.

“Rwanda is a priority country for our organization and remains a focal point in our long-term strategic partnership plans, mainly due to the fact that in a mere two and a half decades the country attained high levels of social and administrative development,” says Dr. Hovanesian.

“Synergy’s new offices in Kigali will enable our company to be even more involved not only in Rwanda’s transformation into a regional hub, but also to play an increasingly active role in the development of Africa,” adds Dr. Hovanesian.

Since 2014, Synergy International Systems has been developing Rwanda IECMS (Integrated Electronic Case Management System), an award-winning unifying platform that automates judicial processes and serves as a customized single point entry for recording, securing, and efficiently sharing information among all institutions within the Justice Sector.

The IECMS is one of the largest systems operating in the country and digitizing its entire justice sector. “IECMS handles full case life-cycles for both civil and criminal processes from the very first incident reporting up to the last detail of enforcement of orders”, says Mr. Matevosyan.

It is worth mentioning that Synergy’s trip to Africa included visits to Tanzania and Kenya, where Synergy delegation discussed the advancement of existing projects
