Sympa Oy

Leading the way in software systems

Sympa Oy provides a global Human Resources System and the supporting specialist services, combining HR expertise and the latest technology with genuine partnership. Our dynamic operating model ensures advanced solutions, both in terms of their contents and technology. Sympa Oy’s highly professional, committed specialists ensure genuinely customer-oriented operations.

Highly HR-oriented operations

Our operations are based on competence management operating models developed within Efecon Oy in the early 1990s. In support of these, we developed the distinct Oskart competence management software at the turn of the century. Sympa Oy was established on 1 January 2005 in continuation of the software business initiated at Efecon Oy. Today, the Sympa HR system covers HR processes throughout the employment lifecycle.

The Sympa HR Human Resources System was first used in 2005. Today, it is used widely, across various lines of business, by more than 150 organisations and 40,000 users.

Deloitte ranked Sympa Oy 9th in its 2011 Technology Fast 50 Finland listing and 154th in EMEA Technology Fast 500. On November 2011 Sympa Oy won the INNOFINLAND prize of Päijät-Häme region. Sympa is also Silver-level Microsoft Partner (ISV).
