Who We Are Corporate Information Technology Solutions, trading as CITS is an IT consulting firm instituted to provide total end-to-end IT Solutions. We are a registered company in the United Republic of Tanzania, operating from Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital of Tanzania. Our offices are located in Mikocheni A, about quarter a kilometer from the residence of the late Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, the first president of the United Republic of Tanzania Background History Corporate Information Technology Solutions began as a concept for an IT consulting firm in early 2008, with a complete Vision and Mission. The planning was in progress, and slowly developed throughout 2009. In August 2010 the logo was designed, the business name was registered with Registration Number 77910 and Tax Identification Number (TIN) 110-688-008. Its website www.cits.co.tz was also registered and hosted during this time. In September 2011, the core founders of CITS moved to work full time for the company, recruiting all other crucial positions. From this point, the company started to grow steadily getting a good reception by many businesses due to its specialization, the competencies of its people and due to the Information Technology Solutions requirement in the region. 1 P a g e

This helps us guide, implement and maintain IT Solutions and security services for our customers. Because CITS aims into providing complete IT Solutions and provide a risk free business environment to its customers, it does not only bring IT Solutions and Information Security to organisations but also skills required to plan, assess, identify, quantify, monitor, manage, control and mitigate risks. CITS strives into exceeding its customers expectations without compromising the project s quality, cost and time. Long life relationship and capacity building to our customers is the compass that drives CITS. CITS is flexible to client s requirements in that it does not represent any software or hardware vendor, but is open into providing technical recommendations. We normally share insights in regard to our solutions with our prospective clients and discuss how we can create a risk free business environment to their businesses. CITS s performance and success in this highly competitive industry is due to careful adherence to our core values: Clients First, Service Excellence. When contracted, CITS does not dictate what technology to be deployed but the clients decide what 'IT Solutions' and 'Information Security' means in their own language by defining their high level requirements and available technologies. Before we begin the project, we normally do a walk-through of the area together, and the client will tell us what standards we need to meet. Then we put those standards in writing, so that the client is assured of getting a high quality service always. 6 P a g e
