Its service delivery is organized through six specialist internal teams (Lume, SecWise, Cloubis, Qinexo, Workplace, and Connectivity) that operate as a unified ecosystem while maintaining distinct brand presence. Arxus holds the Microsoft Azure Expert MSP certification, which it has renewed annually for six consecutive years, placing it among Microsoft's most capable managed service providers globally.

The company also operates as a Cloud Solution Provider for Microsoft 365 licenses through its customer portal.

Arxus generates revenue through recurring managed services contracts, professional services for implementations and migrations, Cloud Solution Provider license passthrough with flexible per-user billing, and Azure consumption-based services wrapped around managed delivery. Its go-to-market targets mid-to-large enterprises and government organizations in Belgium, with select customers extending to the Netherlands, France, Germany, and the United States. The company markets through content-driven channels (Insights blog, case studies, podcast), direct enterprise sales with consultative engagement, and partner referrals within the Cronos Group ecosystem.
