Sydney-based Cognian Technologiesy took out the top prize for its Syncromesh platform, which enables property owners, managers and developers to quickly and easily convert existing or new buildings into human-centric smart spaces with minimum build-out cost and no disruptions to tenants. 

Syncromesh leverages IBM Tririga, Maximo and Red Hat technologies.

Here’s what Mark Weinstein, Head of Sales & Delivery, Cognian Technologies had to say about the experience. 

On why Cognian entered: 

“We didn’t want to miss this incredible opportunity to work with leading vendors like IBM, Tech Data and Red Hat so we could tap into their abundance of insights, resources and expertise to help us to expand our global reach and drive awareness about the smart building capabilities of Cognian Syncromesh.” 

On the One Percenters experience: 

“We found the whole experience really positive, and the entry submission was crafted in a way that let us really personalise and synthesise everything we wanted to share including cross-sell and up-sell opportunities to accelerate IoT deployments worldwide.” 

And, on their victory: 

“Cognian is immensely proud to be the inaugural winner of One Percenters 2021.

“We have received substantial value – including a technical design workshop with leading IBM solution experts, a professional video case study produced with our client Investa, a series of thought leadership vox pops with senior stakeholders from NDY and Mirvac, plus great introductions to sales and account executives, and partners, across the IBM, Tech Data and Red Hat ecosystems.

“We’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible. I encourage all Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) Value Added Resellers (VARs), Systems Integrators (SIs) and Solution Providers (SPs) with growth ambitions to sign up. It’s well worth the effort.”
