COMPANY OVERVIEW
The Group is a software application solutions provider in the property market in the PRC, and is principally engaged in (i) the design of Residential Intranet including the recommendation of network layout, advice no procurement of hardware and evaluation of software application; and (ii) the provision of e-property management software application consulting services, including the design, development, installations, maintenance and upgrade of e-property management software application.
