The company positions itself as a long-standing Microsoft partner delivering licensing, implementation, change management, and technical support across Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, Teams, and Copilot/AI workloads, supplemented by a portfolio of proprietary software platforms — Arivela (field service management), Triber (loyalty and digital identity), ContractFLOW (contract lifecycle management), Qorum (board governance portal built on Microsoft 365), eInvoicing & Fiscalisation Platform (MRA-compliant), and a Payment Platform / Centralised Direct Debit solution aligned with Bank of Mauritius regulations.

The business operates across four revenue streams: professional services (Microsoft implementation, cloud migration, security deployments, custom development), training services (Office, IT Pro, and Soft Skills delivered via e-learning, classroom, live online, and coaching), Microsoft licensing, and managed services/support. GTM is sales-led and consultative, with dedicated enterprise account management and a website structured around meeting/demo/training/support requests. The customer base spans banking (MCB, SBM, Bank of Africa, BMOI, Afrasia, SICOM), insurance, telecommunications (Emtel, Axian Telecom, SFR), retail and distribution (Decathlon, Innodis, Caudan), hospitality (Beachcomber, Attitude, Lux, Sun Resorts, Air Mauritius), energy, manufacturing, healthcare, and government (Ministry of IT), with multi-decade relationships with anchors such as Beachcomber (25+ years) and embedded deployments like GPO Limited's TalentLMS platform (484 active users, 1,423 internal courses).

The company is founder-led (Pierre Yves Harel as Founder, Clarel Constance as CEO), privately held with no disclosed funding or institutional investors, GDPR/PDPA-compliant, and is actively expanding internationally while building out AI Agents, RPA, and computer-vision-enabled capabilities atop its Microsoft technology foundation.
