The company is led by CEO Svetlana Ovsyannikova and holds an FSTEC license (No. L024-00107-77/01249542) for SOC 24/7 services.

Strategic technology partnerships anchor the delivery model: a core partnership with Bitrix24 for corporate portals (the CEMROS deployment being a flagship case), 1C Кандидат в 1С: Центр ERP status for ERP and accounting implementations, a technology partnership with Spider Project for project management, and an annual strategic partnership with MTUCI for talent pipeline. Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services (custom development, 1C implementation, infrastructure modernization), managed/recurring services (IT outsourcing, SOC 24/7 under FSTEC license), and proprietary product licensing (simple and exclusive licenses). The company reports 650+ IT experts (13x growth since 2021), 170+ partners, 200+ completed projects, 100,000+ software users, and a presence across 22+ cities in 13 Russian regions.
