Today the company provides services to over 1000 clients [3] in industries including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, SaaS, advertising, retail, media, and entertainment.[4]

These services include comprehensive monitoring, diagnostics, and problem resolution; enabling of software as a service to the independent software vendor community; and custom application management and remote infrastructure management.
