The technology and digital world continue to transform businesses and daily life. Our portfolio helps consumers and businesses harness this transformation, focusing on three core needs: training, technology optimization, and business growth through digital media.

Our journey began in 2000 as a technical services provider. Our first client was Webhelp.com, for whom we delivered human-assisted search services across platforms like Yahoo, MSN, and Google. In the years that followed, we provided technical support, customer service, and billing management to companies like MSN, Hotmail, and AOL.

Our growth led to a joint venture in the U.S., and in 2004-2005, we acquired Lester Inc., which allowed us to enter a niche outsourcing sector focused on publishing, B2B media, and fundraising.

Over the past two decades, we expanded our technology services, working with major internet companies like Register.com and numerous small and medium businesses. Today, our solutions include IT training, cloud and managed IT services, digital marketing, and staff augmentation, supporting businesses in leveraging technology for ongoing success.
