The two main activity lines of Tarx are Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Multimedia Content. In both lines, consultancy- and development-services are carried out.
The Information Communication Technology side focuses on project management of e-commerce applications for SMEs, proposal and project evaluation and guidance for the choice of technological architectures. For development purposes, mostly as a subcontractor, Tarx uses mainly platform independent and object oriented tools such as C++, Java, and Corba.
The Multimedia line is emphasising especially on art & culture and consists of two activities: own research on specific cultural themes and advising museums/archives in entering the digital age. Most multimedia realisations are based on tools from Macromedia and Corel.
Multilingual script- and scenario writing are two very important supporting services to both main activity lines. Tarx possesses also a rich experience in searching and applying the right music theme corresponding with a specific topic or event.
Key persons of Tarx are highly experienced in co-ordinating medium to large, multidisciplinary projects (e.g. electronic distribution channels and international dealing rooms in the financial world), research initiatives in the cultural sector and multimedia projects.
