Both individual customers as well as state and private sector were interested in computers and new technologies. The 90's was also the time of prosperity for a lot of small private companies. Young entrepreneurs did not have good examples to follow and ready-made solutions which they could use. Each new entrepreneur had to put a lot of work and time to gradually learn to develop business in the new economic order. The Chairman Andrzej Przybyło decided to take this step and as shown by the time it was the beginning of a success.
