Other Information Technology Service Activities

Details for Other Information Technology Service Activities

Companies selecting 62090 are generally saying that their commercial activity falls within other information technology service activities. In plain English, it is likely to include software houses, IT consultancies, platform operators, digital agencies, developers and technology service providers, with day-to-day activity often involving applications, databases, hosting, technical support, systems integration, data services and online platforms. As of June 2026, 62090 ranks 16th out of 731 five-digit SIC codes, with 109,534 UK companies registered under it, making it one of the leading SIC choices by registered company volume.

Because a UK company may register up to four SIC codes at Companies House, a business can pair this activity with other relevant codes where its operations span several markets or revenue streams. The short official label is deliberately compact, so the real-world businesses behind it may describe themselves using broader phrases such as other information technology service activities services, specialist other information technology service activities providers, operators in related supply chains, or companies supporting customers who need this form of commercial activity. It is also useful for analysts, lenders, marketers and public bodies because it gives a consistent way to group companies by declared activity, even though the description is not a licence, approval or guarantee of what a company actually does day to day.

A company using this code might be newly incorporated, dormant, small and owner-managed, or part of a larger group, so the SIC entry should normally be read alongside accounts, confirmation statements, websites and other commercial signals. The classification is especially valuable when comparing suppliers, prospecting for customers, segmenting a database, reviewing competition or checking how a company presents its principal line of business on the public record. For search and data work, the wording should be understood broadly: companies may use different everyday terms for the same activity, including trade names, sector jargon, abbreviated service descriptions and customer-facing language.

Although the wording of modern SIC codes is contemporary, the UK has used Standard Industrial Classification since the 1940s; the Companies House register moved from 4-digit SIC 2003 to the present 5-digit SIC 2007 framework during 2008–2009, aligned to European NACE Rev. 2.
