Project of the Year: an award-winning hybrid cloud from a company not yet two years old

We are proud to announce that Synergetic IT has received the Project of the Year award from Lenovo and TD SYNNEX.

The award was presented on 10 April 2025 at the Lenovo Best Celebrations of the Year 2025 event. It recognises the project we won to replace an ageing on-premises IT landscape with Microsoft Azure Stack Hub. Lenovo describes the delivered project in its official case study, Exosens Group focuses on product innovation (also available as a PDF).

Big impact does not require big numbers

What makes this award special is the timing: we received it before our second anniversary as a business.

It confirms something we believe in: you do not need big numbers to achieve big things. From day one, Synergetic IT has worked on the conviction that focused expertise, agility and deep technical specialisation matter more than headcount. A lean, dedicated team can deliver enterprise-grade cloud platforms that hold their own against those of much larger companies.

Going from start-up to an award-winning, mission-critical Azure Stack Hub implementation in less than 24 months is the strongest confirmation of our vision we could wish for.

The project: a future-ready hybrid cloud

The project, delivered in the second half of 2025, powers the digital transformation of Exosens Group, a global specialist in high-performance imaging and detection.

Exosens Group faced a challenge: replacing ageing infrastructure with a platform that could carry mission-critical workloads and strict security requirements, without giving up the flexibility of the cloud.

Together with Lenovo and TD SYNNEX we designed and implemented a hybrid cloud architecture based on Azure Stack Hub. It meets the customer’s requirements with:

• Data sovereignty. Sensitive data and processing stay under local control, in line with strict regulatory standards.
• Seamless integration. Azure services run directly in the customer’s own data centre, for a true hybrid experience.
• A strategic bridge to the cloud. Ageing IT solutions are modernised now, in an environment that is ready for a future move to the public cloud.

Built on collaboration and trust

Complex infrastructure projects run on more than technology. They run on trust. It is not every day that a global enterprise entrusts a young company with the transformation of its most critical infrastructure.

“Lenovo, Synergetic IT, and TD SYNNEX all worked together as one, helping us design and deploy a solution that will meet the needs of the business for years to come.”

Niels Hoogstra, Global Infrastructure Manager, Exosens Group

Our sincere gratitude for that trust:

• To Exosens Group, for embracing innovation and for trusting us to deliver a modern, hybrid future.
• To Lenovo, for the robust TruScale foundation and for recognising the value that agile partners bring to its ecosystem.
• To TD SYNNEX, for the support and the collaboration, and for honouring us with this award at a memorable event.

The results

The trophy is wonderful, but the real success is what the customer achieved. The new platform enables Exosens Group to:

• keep control of its data while benefiting from cloud capabilities;
• bridge the gap between legacy IT and modern cloud architecture;
• run its critical applications with higher performance and reliability;
• innovate faster with modern Azure tools on its own premises.

Your next project

This award sends a clear message: Synergetic IT is ready for the heavy lifting. Age and size are just numbers when they are backed by deep expertise in Azure, hybrid cloud and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Are you running into the limits of an ageing IT environment, or looking for a solution that keeps your data sovereign while bridging the gap to the public cloud? We are happy to share what we learned from this project. Let’s design your next Project of the Year together.
