DATECS Ltd., was founded in 1990 by a group of research fellows from the Institute of Applied Cybernetics at the Bulgarian Academy of Science.

The start was given in 1990 with the first Cyrillic fonts in the Post Script format, the first Laser printer with in - built Cyrillic fonts in 1991 and the first professional program for complete Cyrillic support under MS Windows - the Flex Type - in 1992. During 1996, this product was accepted as the standard for the communication software products, employed to serve the Council for European Security and Cooperation. In 1997, Microsoft purchased a Datecs license for the distribution of the spelling and hyphenation product - Flex Word.

The wide - scale, national land - division program of 1993 initiated Datecs to establish a Geographic Information Systems department. After developing an effective and highly accurate technology for the digitalization of scanned map images, the department was able to complete several big home projects in a short period of time and in cooperation with leading firms from the same branch in Germany and France went on to execute projects abroad. Digital maps of some of the biggest cities in Bulgaria and Germany were made between 1993 - 98, as well as maps of some provinces in France, of the territories along the river Nile and the whole territory of Thailand. Datecs programming teams supported the realization of several complex projects for the needs of major state institutions in Bulgaria, for Coca - Cola of Greece, Amoco - USA, the Association of the Commercial Banks of Berlin etc.
