Synesis7 – Information analytic thrives in Montana

Last week, I got the chance to chat with Allen Ellmaker, winner of the Entrepreneur of the Year award from the Butte Local Development Corporation (BLDC), and the chief executive officer of Synesis7 http://www.synesis7.com/

Ellmaker spent a career in information analytics — from Electronic Data Systems, now owned by Hewlett-Packard, to Northern Telecom.

In the early 2000s, Ellmaker earned a contract with the Navy Air Systems Command for information and data transformation services. Around that time, Ellmaker decided to set up residence in Butte and has been here since. Synesis7 now brings in millions of dollars in annual contracts to the community.

Synesis7 takes family business to a whole new level

Describing what goes on at Synesis7 isn’t an easy task.

But if you ask company founder and Chief Executive Officer Allen Ellmaker what goes on at his Butte-based company you might get an answer that goes a bit like this: Synesis7 takes large amounts of client data and converts it into a standardized format.

For instance, the company can take maintenance data from an airplane, automate its conversion using software, and use it to create a technical manual.
