"Australia is one of the most dynamic and competitive consulting markets in the world. Clients expect both world-leading technology innovation and in-depth local experience," said Faisal Husain, Co-Founder and CEO of Synechron. "Thanks to the addition of the Chamonix IT, Exposé and iGreenData teams, we are now perfectly placed to help Australian organisations not just embrace the future, but to lead from the front."

In Australia, the company works with some of the country's leading financial institutions and also supports clients in the government, defence, utilities, education and healthcare sectors. Under the direction of a newly appointed leadership team, Synechron aims to continue its growth, with plans to add more than 100 specialist roles in the first half of the year alone. Led by Scott Grigg, Country Managing Director for Australia, the leadership team also includes Max Sundaram and Kelly Drewett as Managing Directors, Tim Coates as Head of Practices, and Etienne Oosthuysen as Chief Technology Officer. "Globally, Synechron is synonymous with innovation, transformation and complex project delivery, with a rich heritage in highly regulated industries such as financial services," said Grigg. "Pairing our on-the-ground experience and expertise with Synechron's proprietary technology and accelerators has driven significant growth. As we move forward as one Synechron in the Australian market, we expect this growth to accelerate." Globally, Synechron employs more than 16,500 professionals across 21 countries.

Appian and Synechron have launched the Open Underwriting Stack, a joint reference architecture designed to help insurance carriers modernise underwriting through AI process automation. The architecture combines Synechron's InsureMESH data platform with Appian's process orchestration and AI agents. The stack enables carriers to process transactions across legacy systems, modern applications, and external data sources without replacing existing infrastructure. It features three connected layers: InsureMESH's data-first platform, Appian's automation and AI agents, and a configurable application layer. The solution was demonstrated at InsurTech Insights New York. The architecture aims to address industry pressure to modernise whilst maintaining auditability and underwriter control. Carriers can continue using existing core systems whilst adding an operational AI layer that runs in parallel, shortening traditional deployment cycles.
