Dating back to the release of the C6 for Seat-Tin.it (Telecom Italia) application in 1998, our company’s history and growth is closely linked to the subsequent creation of the leading Italian IM services.

IM’s operating success is best summed up in one figure: at peak hours, 30,000 on-line users connect up to C6 at the same time.

Users can instantly send each other messages, files or communicate by audio and/or visual means through our framework, thanks to the OFS peer-to-peer communication management facility.
