About
Three decades of delivery in regulated industries, local government and defence.
I’m Adam Mills, founding director at Synapsys.
With more than three decades of experience in IT and software development, Adam has an established history of delivering successful projects. Much of that work has been in sectors where systems are scrutinised by regulators, auditors and the public: finance, healthcare, local government and defence. That background shapes how Synapsys works: data architecture first, evidence throughout, and no surprises at audit.
Adam’s strongly held belief that data architecture is the key to any project ensures your ambitions always have a strong foundation. With integration playing a significant role in all modern IT deployments, Adam’s deep understanding of ETL and API’s ensures you can leverage data from across your data estate.
Where we’ve worked
Sectors that don’t forgive shortcuts
Each of these environments has its own rules, its own buyers and its own idea of risk. We have delivered in all of them.
Financial services & insurance
Development and integration for insurers and financial services firms, where every change needs an owner, a reason and a record.
Healthcare
Systems that handle patient and clinical data, built around information governance and the people who use them under pressure.
Local government
Integration across council estates and the services residents rely on, delivered within public procurement and tight budgets.
Defence
Critical systems for defence manufacturers and their supply chain, with security by design and the discretion the sector expects.
How we work
Built for scrutiny
The habits that make regulated delivery go smoothly, applied on every engagement whether or not a regulator is watching.
- 01.
Evidence by default
Decisions, changes and test results are recorded as we go, so an audit is a retrieval exercise rather than a reconstruction.
- 02.
Security by design
Least privilege, controlled environments and data residency are decided at design time, not patched in before go-live.
- 03.
Procurement-ready
Comfortable with public sector procurement, supplier onboarding, security questionnaires and data protection impact assessments.
- 04.
Accountable delivery
One named lead from discovery to live service, with your vendors and our partners held to the same standard.
Let us be your guide to navigating the maze that is modern IT, whether on-prem or in the cloud, data lakes or data silos, AI or Low-Code, we can help you make the right choices.
