DTIC

What DTIC does

DTIC Gestion de Sistemas, S.L. is a Spanish private limited company headquartered in Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona) that specializes in operating licensed Telco platforms and Telco-based payment systems. Founded by systems and telecommunications engineers from major carriers, the company has held a CMNC Operator license since 2008, which underpins its ability to deliver premium rate voice and mobile billing services in Spain in compliance with successive Telco regulatory regimes. Its portfolio centers on Premium 80Y numbering, IVR development, VoIP gateway services, and an integrated suite of mobile payment products including Premium SMS, Push SMS, Wap Billing, and Mobile Direct Billing.

Underpinning these services is a proprietary technical platform comprising complex PBX/IVR systems, VoIP interconnections over Primary/VoIP SIP carriers, and high-performance clustered and distributed database environments (Hadoop, Hbase, Postgres XL, MySQL Cluster, MongoDB Cluster, Redis Cluster, Elastic Cluster) that move millions of records. DTIC runs its own infrastructure across data centers in Europe, the USA, and Asia, and also offers Linux administration, database management, and security implementation for third-party technical platforms.

The business model is B2B and quote-based, with revenue generated primarily through per-minute and per-transaction fees on premium rate voice and mobile billing, supplemented by usage-based VoIP termination and managed-services fees for platform hosting and administration. Customers are Telco carriers and service providers, digital content and service providers, and enterprise IT infrastructure operators. The company is founder-owned and operated with a small team (1–10 employees) under Founder & CEO Daniel Arenas Sal, with no disclosed external funding.
