History

Symbiant was established in 1999 as a partner to Worldpay[3] to bring the first online payment systems to UK businesses.

In 2001 Symbiant started to work with the accountancy giant KPMG creating solution for audit and risk. The first solution was a KPMG tool called KSAT and then an audit action tracking tool called Symbiant Tracker. Shortly after was the launch of Symbiant Risk Suite, a suite of tools to manage Enterprise Risk Management.

In 2004 Symbiant launched a product called easyGen2 "a programmer in a box" it created dynamic web solutions by using a series of wizards and built in functions. The solution received several industry magazine awards and was frequently on the Amazon best sellers list [4].

In 2012 Symbiant merged the audit software with the risk tools and created a combined solution so risk and audit data could be shared and viewed together. The tool was originally called the Symbiant Management Suite and then shortened to just Symbiant One.
