Synergis Software Opens Adept Experience 2026 With the Largest Product Launch in Company History

Adept Cloud, Adept AI, Adept Catalyst, and the next-generation SOLIDWORKS integration headline a milestone week for the engineering document management leader

BETHLEHEM, Pa., May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Synergis Software opened Adept Experience 2026, its annual customer conference, with the most significant product announcement in the company's 35-year history. At the center of the announcement is Adept Cloud — a fully managed, cloud-native SaaS engineering document management system now generally available, joining Adept, the company's award-winning on-premise platform. Synergis also introduced Adept AI, artificial intelligence capabilities built into Adept Cloud; Adept Catalyst, a governed collaboration gateway between Adept and Microsoft SharePoint; and the company's next-generation SOLIDWORKS integration.

"We made commitments to this community about where Adept was going, what was possible, what it would become. After years of investment and thousands of conversations with customers, we've arrived at this moment. Cloud-native document management, AI built into the platform, and governed collaboration across the engineering asset lifecycle — this is what the next era of Adept looks like for our customers."

— Kristen Tomasic, President, Synergis Software

Adept Cloud: Award-Winning Engineering Document Management, Without the Infrastructure

Adept Cloud brings the power of Adept — named to G2's 2026 Best Software Awards — to a fully managed, browser-based SaaS environment. No local infrastructure. No VPN. No IT tickets or weekend upgrades. Built for asset-intensive organizations where the accuracy of engineering documentation is a matter of operational safety, regulatory compliance, and project outcomes.

For existing Adept customers, the transition is seamless — existing workflows, data, and permissions carry over exactly as they are. No relearning. No disruption.

Security is the foundation, not a feature. Deployed on Amazon AWS with Single Sign-On included in every Plan, automated vulnerability scanning, and third-party penetration testing, Adept Cloud delivers enterprise-grade security that would be cost-prohibitive for most organizations to build and manage on their own.

"Engineering organizations have been managing infrastructure they never wanted to own. Adept Cloud removes that entirely. The document control, the CAD integration, the version management, the audit trail — all of it is still there. What's gone is the overhead that was consuming IT resources without adding engineering value."

— Todd Cummings, Vice President of Product Strategy, Synergis Software

Unlimited Users. No Per-Seat Costs.

Every Adept Cloud plan — Essentials, Professional, and Enterprise — includes unlimited users, from engineers at their desks to teams in the field or on the plant floor.

Adept AI: Intelligence Where Your Engineering Data Lives

Adept AI helps engineering organizations surface information faster, accelerate document-intensive work, and extract more value from the engineering data already living in Adept — the system of record.

Adept Catalyst: Collaborate in SharePoint with Adept Governance

Adept Catalyst is a governed collaboration gateway between Adept and Microsoft SharePoint — built for the reality that engineering work doesn't stay inside organizational boundaries. Capital projects, plant modifications, and maintenance work all involve contractors, engineering partners, and suppliers working outside your system of record. Catalyst controls what goes out from Adept and brings documents back through review, approval, and version control. External parties collaborate in SharePoint — no Adept access or VPN required. At project handover, Adept reflects what was actually built — accurately and completely. The record is always current — because governance never stopped.

"Engineering documentation failures don't announce themselves — they show up at the worst possible moment. A safety incident. A failed inspection. A costly rework after handover that nobody saw coming. Adept and Catalyst are about making sure that moment never arrives."

— Scott Lamond, Vice President of Marketing, Synergis Software

Next-Generation SOLIDWORKS Integration

Adept Spring '26, the latest release of the Adept on-premise platform, includes the next-generation Adept SOLIDWORKS integration — delivering a task pane interface paired with SOLIDWORKS for search, browse, and document operations, and bidirectional property updating. The integrated visualization and markup solution gives reviewers easy access to designs without requiring a SOLIDWORKS license.
