What we develop and deliver Syncfish develops and sells a SaaS integration solution called CI Synchronizer (known as CI Sync). CI Sync is an integration solution taking data from multiple source systems (e.g. Lansweeper) that hold IT asset/resource data and synchronizes such data into one or more destination systems (typically the CMDB within IT Service Management systems such as ServiceNow) CI Sync achieves the above using a multi-source/multi-destination "connector" architecture that supports the extensibility of adding further sources/destinations as part of the core design of the solution. Syncfish also provides targeted professional services to customers of CI Sync. Services include configuration/customization of the CI Sync rules to meet the needs of a given customer or CMDB and closely related Service Management professional services.
