In 1995, our founders realized something: Brazilian companies had incredible technical talent but lacked systematic approaches to turn that potential into global impact. Working from Campinas, São Paulo, they built CI&T to bridge the gap between human expertise and technological transformation. What started as a research and development partnership with global tech leaders evolved into a multinational force - nearly 30 years later, we're 8,000+ strong across four continents, helping the world's most ambitious enterprises navigate change with clarity and speed. Today, we combine human intelligence with artificial intelligence to solve complex business problems. Our nearshore delivery model means we bring high-performance, cost-effective solutions with seamless collaboration and cultural alignment. We've grown from a Brazilian software development company to a publicly traded global partner (NYSE: CINT), delivering tech-integrated business solutions across retail, financial services, automotive, healthcare, and beyond. With CI&T FLOW, our proprietary Gen AI platform, we connect prototype, code, and business logic so AI works with reality - not in a vacuum. Through strategic acquisitions and organic growth, we've expanded from Brazil to the United States, Japan, China, Colombia, Europe, and Australia, proving that world-class engineering and cultural empathy can transform how technology serves business.

In 2008, Acumatica was founded by former Parallels employees who recognized a gap in the enterprise resource planning market: small and mid-sized businesses needed modern, cloud-based ERP solutions that were built for the digital age - not legacy systems retrofitted for the web. What started as a vision to deliver comprehensive business management software has evolved into the world's fastest-growing cloud ERP company, with 74% of resources dedicated to R&D and continuous innovation. Acumatica's Cloud ERP platform provides industry-specific solutions for construction, distribution, manufacturing, retail, professional services, agriculture, and more - enabling businesses to manage their entire operations from financials and inventory to CRM and payroll. Born in the cloud, Acumatica fosters connected, collaborative operations with a user-friendly interface that works seamlessly on any device. Through its vibrant partner ecosystem, Acumatica Open University training platform, and commitment to delivering practical AI and automation, the company empowers organizations to streamline processes, gain real-time insights, and scale efficiently in today's digital economy.

In 2005, Jack Momose founded Degica with a vision to bridge the gap between global businesses and Japan's complex digital commerce landscape. What started as a video game publishing company helping international software vendors succeed in the Japanese market has evolved into a pioneering fintech company that powers cross-border payments across Asia and beyond. The company recognized early on that navigating Japan's unique payment ecosystem - from konbini convenience store payments to mobile wallets like PayPay and PayPay - was a significant barrier for international merchants. This insight led to the creation of KOMOJU, their flagship all-in-one payment solution that enables businesses to accept local payment methods through a single, unified API. Today, Degica stands as Japan's first global payments company, trusted by some of the world's largest platforms including Steam, TikTok, Shopify, and Wix. The company has grown from a small team to over 80 employees, with approximately half being non-Japanese talent, reflecting its truly international DNA. Headquartered in Tokyo with a Canadian founder at the helm, Degica has built a bilingual engineering culture that uses English as its common language. The company continues to expand beyond Japan into South Korea, China, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America, helping thousands of merchants unlock new revenue streams while ensuring compliance with local regulations and consumer preferences. With a commitment to excellence underscored by PCI DSS and ISO 27001 certifications, Degica has become an essential partner for organizations looking to succeed in the complex world of Asian digital commerce.
