Founded approximately in 1998, the company has accumulated 25+ years of experience and claims 400+ completed IT projects, primarily serving enterprise customers across multiple industries including healthcare/pharmaceutical (FarmaLink) and iGaming (ONDISS).

The company's offering spans datacenter infrastructure design, networking, cybersecurity, cloud services (including Huawei Cloud implementation), custom software development, telecommunications, system integration, and Salesforce consulting.
