In a move poised to revolutionize the integration and optimization of business performance through SAP solutions, Syntax Systems has recently completed its acquisition of Montréal-based Beyond Technologies. This strategic union, announced on October 3, 2023, brings to the fore a combined SAP expertise that is set to reshape the industry landscape.
The alliance between Syntax and Beyond melds a collective strength of over 2,800 seasoned professionals dedicated to serving more than 900 mid-market and large enterprises worldwide. With 26 offices dispersed across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, the collaboration is poised to deliver targeted solutions across diverse sectors such as manufacturing, construction, natural resources, retail, life sciences, and the public sector.
Christian Primeau, at the helm of Syntax as its Global CEO, highlights the synergy between the two firms. Primeau acknowledges that the shared strengths and aligned values will foster swift, coordinated efforts, thus ensuring clients rapidly realize the value of their investments. By tapping into existing deep ties with SAP, the joint venture seeks to amplify its industry-specific capabilities.
Global Reach with Local Precision
Beyond Technologies, under the leadership of Luc Dubois, brings to the partnership a nuanced understanding of the client’s immediate and future needs. Dubois stresses the importance of continually evolving to cater to the clients’ best interests. By joining Syntax, Beyond not only preserves its boutique nature but also gains the capacity to scale its services. This acquisition means an extended geographical reach and enriched consulting practice, seamlessly integrating solutions in security, data, and IoT.
Additionally, Siemens Energy’s decision to collaborate with Syntax to establish the new SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud (SAP DMC) infrastructure across 80 production locations worldwide demonstrates a substantial commitment to investing in SAP expertise. The 2022 SAP Pinnacle Awards also acknowledged Syntax as a Rising Star Winner, a testament to the company’s capacity to bring significant value to customers through SAP technologies.
Empowering Business Transformations Through SAP Expertise
The integration of Syntax and Beyond is a significant leap towards building a robust business transformation consultancy. In 2021, Syntax’s acquisition of Illumiti, an integration and management consultancy firm, positioned it as a North American market leader in SAP solutions. Now, with Beyond Technologies under its wing, Syntax fortifies its SAP expertise, extending its capacity to navigate the complexities of varied industries.
This collaboration finds both companies sharing a common ground in fostering cultures that are deeply rooted in an entrepreneurial spirit and customer-centric values. Pascal Tremblay, President and CEO of Novacap, commends Syntax’s and Beyond’s unwavering commitment to ensuring client success, ecosystem partnership, and corporate citizenship. Tremblay expresses optimism about the joint team’s potential to create substantial value for a diverse array of stakeholders.
Pioneering a Future in SAP Solutions
The collaborative strength of Syntax and Beyond transcends geographical boundaries, ensuring that clients benefit from a globally integrated yet locally engaged set of resources. The acquisition symbolizes not just the amalgamation of two firms but the merging of complementary values and cultures.
Both companies are celebrated for their entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to delivering solutions tailored to the ever-transforming business environment. Syntax, as a portfolio company of Novacap TMT, exemplifies this commitment to continual growth and value creation.
The acquisition of Beyond Technologies by Syntax Systems heralds a new era in SAP expertise. With a commitment to client success, technological innovation, and global reach, the combined force of Syntax and Beyond is poised to bring about transformational changes across various industries. The future of SAP solutions and business performance optimization looks bright, with these two powerhouses leading the charge.
