Synergis Software Unveils Major Innovations at Adept Experience 2026

Synergis Software, a leader in engineering document management, recently kicked off the Adept Experience 2026, its annual customer conference, with a significant product announcement marking a milestone in the company’s 35-year history. The event took place on May 18-19, 2026 at the Wind Creek Bethlehem in Pennsylvania, bringing together industry professionals from across North and South America.

The spotlight of this year’s conference was the introduction of Adept Cloud, a fully managed, cloud-native Software as a Service (SaaS) platform designed for managing technical documents. This new platform complements the award-winning Adept on-premise solution, providing an accessible and scalable option for users.

Key Features of Adept Cloud

Cloud-Native Document Management

Adept Cloud enables organizations to manage their engineering documents without the need for local infrastructure, IT tickets, or weekend upgrades. It is designed specifically for asset-intensive businesses where the accuracy of technical documents is crucial for operational safety, compliance, and project success.

Seamless Transition for Existing Users

Current Adept users will experience a smooth transition to Adept Cloud; existing workflows, data, and permissions will remain intact, with no need for retraining or interruptions. Each pricing tier—Essentials, Professional, and Enterprise—supports an unlimited number of users, accommodating teams from office environments to manufacturing floors.

Robust Security Measures

Security is a primary concern, and Adept Cloud delivers enterprise-level security features, including Single Sign-On, automated vulnerability scans, and third-party penetration tests. This ensures that companies can trust their data is secure without the hefty costs associated with traditional security infrastructures.

Innovative Additions: Adept AI and Adept Catalyst

In addition to Adept Cloud, Synergis introduced Adept AI, a feature that enhances the existing platform with artificial intelligence capabilities. This integration helps engineers find information quickly, streamlining document-intensive workflows and maximizing the value of existing data.

Furthermore, Adept Catalyst was unveiled as a governed gateway for collaboration between Adept and Microsoft SharePoint. This tool facilitates seamless collaboration involving external partners and contractors, while maintaining strict governance over document flow and versions. This is particularly beneficial during investment projects and facility upgrades, where multiple external stakeholders may be involved.

Advanced Integration with SOLIDWORKS

The conference also highlighted the next-generation SOLIDWORKS integration which allows users to efficiently manage document operations and seamless updating of properties without needing a separate SOLIDWORKS license. This enhancement aims to simplify access for reviewers while integrating other visual solutions for better collaboration.

A Gathering of Industry Leaders

The Adept Experience 2026 event attracted participants from renowned companies such as Merck & Co., Albemarle, and Energy Transfer, among others. The second day featured a keynote by bestselling author Steve McClatchy, who shared insights on leading change in the age of artificial intelligence, drawing from his extensive experience with companies like Google and Microsoft.

Participants also had opportunities to engage in product showcases and discussions about the future direction of engineering document management.

Looking Ahead

Kristen Tomasic, President of Synergis Software, encapsulated the essence of the announcements by stating, “We promised our community what Adept would evolve into, what was possible, and what it would become. After years of investment and thousands of customer discussions, we have now reached this turning point.”

The Adept Experience serves as a platform for professionals to exchange best practices, explore new features, and connect directly with Synergis experts.
