The system leads to significant savings being made in both time and money, and avoids corruption by managing the operational/external risks of the institution. On this project, Christopher was responsible for developing the product in ASP.NET with C#, Marketing and Sales. Synergy software was selected by government institutions across Costa Rica because of its ability to seamlessly adapt to their unique risk management methodologies, and provide the flexibility to evolve their risk and compliance processes over time. Synergy provides a highly configurable solution that supports organisations' specific enterprise risk management methodology and spares them from having to write their own custom code.
