Small world! I worked for a year and a half on a Synon project that was
going to create a pension management system. Ultimately, the project was
canceled, but I learned a great deal about the system in the meantime.

Before the project was canceled, they were outsourcing part of it to India,
because there weren't enough Synon programmers available in the U.S.

Converting the system to Obsydian was going to be a secondary goal, so they
never got that far, but I would have been interested in seeing what
happened.
