Headed by Siwar Farhat, who is herself a trained engineer, the company's principal activity is to provide IT service and development platforms notably for Orange Group entities. This activity facilitates synergies and scale economies for software solutions integration and third-party application maintenance.

Its ambition is to exploit its expertise in digitization projects in Tunisia, notably in the fields of e-government, e-education, e-health and e-banking, and thereby contribute to the success of the "Tunisia Digital 2018" national strategic plan.
