About iSyNAPS
One ecosystem, built from public-sector practice.
iSyNAPS originated from an initiative by the Municipality of Haarlemmermeer. We are building a connected environment for public organisations, with their own organisation profile as the foundation for building blocks, knowledge and collaboration.
Why it began
Unique projects often begin with familiar questions.
iSyNAPS stands for Intergemeentelijk Synergetisch Netwerk AI Projectportfolio Systeem. It makes municipal project experience reusable and connects it with portfolio and capacity information.
Mission
Make project experience useful for the next decision.
Professionals retrieve relevant context, see connections and prepare decision questions. The authorised professional reviews the information and remains responsible for the judgement.
Principles
Practical, modular and human-reviewed.
Work modularly
Start with one application and add only what supports a demonstrable need.
Design responsibly
Make the purpose, data, roles, controls and limitations explicit before an application begins.
Human oversight
The authorised professional reviews the information and remains responsible for the decision.
Development path
Step by step, grounded in practice.
- Starting point
Reusable project knowledge
The need to make municipal project experience more accessible is the starting point.
- First module
ProVI
Project preparation and initiation are developed as the first defined application.
- Now
A broader module chain
Building blocks for portfolio, capacity, executive insight, procurement, law and learning are at different stages of development.
- Exploration
Coala
Municipalities have expressed interest in Coala. We explore how coalition agreements, goals and the running portfolio can be connected to their organisational context.
- Pilot network
Testing with public-sector organisations
We explore opportunities for testing and shared development with interested public organisations. Participation is agreed separately.

Digital delivery
Built on trust
Your organisation stays in control.
One ecosystem does not mean unrestricted data exchange. Each collaboration requires clear agreements about who may use which information and for what purpose.
Your own organisational context
Organisation-specific information remains distinct from knowledge deliberately shared for reuse.
Permissions and provenance
Access, source references and data agreements determine what can be reused.
Human judgement
Authorised professionals review outputs and remain responsible for decisions.
