In 2003, COMEX Integración was established, specializing in outsourcing and technology services. Right from the start, it stood out as a technological partner for major companies and administrations in the Aragon region.
In 2004, IriTec was founded, quickly gaining recognition for its innovative approach and rapid growth. Over the years, IriTec received multiple awards and recognitions for its work in the technology sector, including approvals and distinctions such as the CEEI Aragón Company or the IT Mart and SoftAragón Premium badges.
2007 - 2010
Commitment to Specialization with Subsidiaries and Proprietary Solutions
IriTec begins to create specialized areas with the launch of its first two subsidiaries: IriTec Sistemas, later becoming the systems area of hiberus, and Ovooe, an advanced IP telephony platform.
IriTec's technological knowledge applied to market needs culminates in the launch of three proprietary solutions: Atenea, Gisir, and Tributalia. In addition, as part of this specialization strategy, IriTec invests in creating an area focused on the development of digital businesses, which becomes key to the company's evolution.
