CONSULTING Digital and innovation consulting firm
Our History
dIGitalynn is a professional firm that provides strategic consulting on information and communication technologies.
Founded in 2018 by professionals who have worked for at least three generations in multinational technology environments, dIGitalynn takes its name from the desire to apply their experience to the service of digitalization and innovation in Italy.
We offer a wide range of services and have a vision for the future that inspires us to forcefully re-emerge the value of "Professional Service" as an essential element for the dissemination and evolution of a digital culture, for which technology is the enabler.
We place the needs and habits of our clients' customers at the center of our business. Our in-depth knowledge of these customers enables us to support companies in their digitalization journeys, expand their offerings, create next-generation IT and telecommunications networks and systems, and ensure data and information security.
But we didn't stop there. Because telecommunications and technology in general have the ability to "connect," and we have used this to connect our experience with other branches of engineering and consulting.
Since 2020, dIGitalynn has expanded its range of professional services with the services of the new dIGital-ING Business Unit, which focuses on energy efficiency in both construction and IT: a topic that has become increasingly important with the advent of the Artificial Intelligence era.
