What Adias does

Adias is a privately held digital transformation consultancy founded in 1993 by Mohamed Salem SIDI and headquartered in Nouakchott, Mauritania. The company operates a three-pillar service portfolio: (1) consulting services for digital roadmaps and change management; (2) digitalization solutions covering custom software engineering, packaged software publishing, and third-party solution integration; and (3) IT outsourcing and offshoring of qualified technical resources. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, targeting enterprise and government clients across Africa and Europe. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per engagement.

The underlying technology is partner-mediated rather than proprietary. Adias delivers client projects by integrating and reselling established enterprise platforms — Microsoft Dynamics (ERP/CRM, Core partner), Sage (accounting/ERP, Core partner), Visiativ (business management, Core partner), and my tower (building management, Minor partner) — augmented by bespoke custom development. Revenue is generated through three streams: professional services consulting, one-time licensing/project fees for software and integration work, and managed services for resource outsourcing. The firm employs 11–50 staff from a single registered office, with a leadership team of CEO Mohamed Salem SIDI, CTO Sidi BIHA, and Head of Investments Mohamed SIDI.

The disclosed customer roster spans 12 sectors and includes Ariane Group, ARMP Mauritanie, Bolloré Logistics, Carrefour, Chanel, Banque Centrale de Mauritanie, Colas, Nexter, Nissan, Société Générale, Éram, and Soletanche Bachy. Adias is founder/management-owned, has no external investors, no disclosed funding rounds, no patents or trademarks, and no documented AI/ML capabilities. Operating geographies are explicitly listed as Mauritania (primary) and France (European market).
