GRAND RAPIDS – Cynergy Systems, which operates a field office in Grand Rapids, was named a winner last week of the Microsoft PhizzPop Design Challenge for rich Internet application design and development.
Cynergy was one of seven regional entrants. Cynergy won by unanimous decision of a panel of judges from Yahoo!, Netflix, IDEO and Experience Engineering for building a winning rich solution that leveraged Microsoft Silverlight, Windows Media Center, Windows Live Spaces and Facebook.
PhizzPop was developed by Microsoft to serve as a place where companies ? such as Cynergy – that build Web 2.0-enabled software can network, exchange ideas, learn about events, and browse job postings. Launched in April 2007, the community fosters the deeper adoption of Microsoft technologies, such as Silverlight. The PhizzPop Design Challenge consists of five design competitions held in New York, Boston, Austin, Los Angeles and Chicago among the top interactive, web and design agencies.
As the winner of a regional PhizzPop event, Cynergy has been invited to the South by Southwest Interactive Festival in March 2008 to compete for the worldwide best rich Internet applications agency.
