Syntasso and OpenCredo Join Forces to Accelerate Platform Engineering Initiatives

I am excited to announce that OpenCredo, a leading technology consultancy specialising in cloud-native solutions and data and platform engineering, has partnered with Syntasso, the creators of the open-source platform framework Kratix, to accelerate platform engineering initiatives. 


This collaboration leverages OpenCredo’s deep platform-building expertise and Syntasso’s innovative Kratix platform, fast-tracking the platform journeys of their joint customers and empowering development teams to focus on building features rather than managing infrastructure.


“Our Kratix partnership is a perfect fit - the platform allows dev teams to access the infrastructure they need.  When we combine that with our expertise, it will create an offering for our customers that empowers them to create curated, self-service experiences for their dev teams to get the best of Kratix!” said Nicki Watt, CEO/CTO at OpenCredo.


“Having known and worked with Nicki and the OpenCredo team for over ten years, I have witnessed firsthand many of their successful platform projects. OpenCredo’s understanding of the business and people challenges associated with platform engineering, combined with the power of Kratix, will accelerate clients building a platform that enables speed, safety, and scalability” said Colin Humphreys, CEO at Syntasso.
