The company operates four service units: Application Development, Data Analytics & Integration, Business Productivity, and Management Consultancy. Its technical foundation is the Microsoft ecosystem, spanning .NET, PHP, Angular, iOS, Microsoft 365, Azure, Power Platform (PowerApps, PowerAutomate, Power BI), SharePoint, Teams, and SQL Server, supported by Microsoft Gold Partnership status in Application Development, DevOps, and Windows and Devices. Proprietary tooling includes the Etesian Silverlight Converter (which automates over 80% of legacy Silverlight-to-Angular screen migration) and the Etesian Modern Workplace platform, a Single Sign-on portal integrating SharePoint Online, Microsoft 365, Teams, Exchange Online, and Endpoint Security. The firm also offers an Etesian Scrum Team service for agile project delivery and webshop/e-commerce development.

Etesian generates revenue through three streams: consultancy services (deploying professionals into client organizations for long-term capacity augmentation), project services (managing application development, modernization, and implementation projects), and IT outsourcing (full-function managed services). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting organizations in the Netherlands, primarily in Randstad and southern Netherlands, with stated ability to follow clients abroad. Marketing is conducted through the corporate website (etesian.nl), LinkedIn, the careers portal (werkenbijetesian.nl), and the IIBA Corporate Sponsorship, held since January 2023.
