Founded in Nouakchott in 1994
CDD Informatique was founded in Nouakchott in 1994 by Dr Ahmed Idriss Oumar Daoud.
CDD was meant to stand for “Cabinet Docteur Driss”. On the day it was registered, in 1994, Dr Ahmed Idriss answered a remark about the computing of tomorrow: “C’est déjà demain”, “it is already tomorrow”. The phrase became the new meaning of CDD.
The hardware has changed several times since then. What our clients expect from us has stayed the same: workstations, a network and software that work, and someone who answers when they don’t.

Why CDD was founded
In 1994, computing was only just reaching Mauritania. CDD was founded so that the country would not fall behind.
The context
Computers were still rare. Ministries and most companies worked on paper and with typewriters.
There were very few IT companies in the country: installing or repairing equipment often meant bringing in a technician from abroad.
The project
Having enrolled as a doctoral student in Berlin, then earned his doctorate in computer science in Leningrad, in the Soviet Union, Dr Ahmed Idriss returned to Mauritania with a conviction: computing would transform everything, and the country had to get ready.
He founded CDD to equip and support the companies and administrations that wanted to computerise, and to train Mauritanians in these new tools.
What CDD brought
- Training from 1994, CDD trained people in computer tools; its training institute was officially approved in 2002.
- Equipment and maintenance hardware supplied, installed and repaired locally, with no need to wait for a technician from abroad.
- Networks and radio computer networks and radio communication systems, notably as the former representative of Thomson-CSF Communications (now Thales).
- Internet access in 1999, CDD opened the Cyber Khaima, an Internet café making Internet access easier in Nouakchott.
Recognition
CDD quickly made a name for itself by solving urgent problems for companies and banks.
This work took it to the top of its sector at the time, built its reputation and opened the doors of institutions, embassies and foreign cooperation agencies.
Constant innovation
Since its creation, CDD has never stopped innovating.
Its latest step is higher education. After a process started in 2018, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research authorised CDD Sup, CDD’s training branch, which has carried this name since the early 2000s, to become a private higher education institution in 2026.
And CDD keeps moving forward with ever more innovative, high-quality services: it develops applications, websites and management software built on the latest technology.
