Synchronica plc was a public listed (, ) software vendor which developed and marketed mobile messaging solutions for mobile network operators and mobile phone manufacturers. Its flagship product provided push email, instant messaging and social networking to a wide range of mobile phones, and was branded as Unity. Synchronica was one of the industry's principal users of open industry standards, and their products supported the relevant standards developed by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA). In 2004, Synchronica became the first company to deploy a live installation of a SyncML device management (now OMA DM) server in a carrier-grade environment, with Siemens Mobile AG.〔(Synchronica Wins Siemens Deal - the World's First SyncML Firmware Update )〕 On 16 April 2012, Synchronica was acquired by Switzerland’s Myriad Group, in an all-share deal which valued the company at £23.9 million (around US$38 million).〔(Myriad buys Synchronica )〕 Myriad delisted Synchronica from the London Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange during Mid-May 2012.〔(Synchronica plc plans to delist from AIM )〕〔(Synchronica plc delisted from TSX Venture Exchange )〕 == History == Synchronica Software GmbH was founded in 2004, specializing in open industry standards-based synchronization and device management solutions for the mobile industry.
