CI&T Inc. is a technology services company of Brazilian origin, specializing in digital product development and the modernization of information systems. Its business consists of designing, building and evolving software for other organizations. Unlike a software vendor primarily distributing a catalog of licenses, it brings together consulting, design and engineering teams around its clients’ needs. Its corporate website is ciandt.com.
From Campinas to international markets
Founded in 1995 in Campinas, in the state of São Paulo, CI&T grew in an environment shaped by the presence of universities and research activities. The company gradually broadened its scope, moving from software development to supporting wider digital transformations. Its trajectory has been built in part on the adoption of agile methods and lean principles, applied to software production and the organization of work.
The group has built an international presence, with operations in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Its listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021, under the ticker symbol CINT, marks a milestone in this trajectory. This footprint allows it to combine close commercial relationships with its clients and delivery capabilities spread across several countries.
From digital products to AI applications
CI&T works across various stages of a project: requirements definition, user research, interface design, technical architecture, development and continuous improvement. Its services include web and mobile applications, digital commerce, data platforms and cloud migration. Modernizing existing software is also part of its business, serving organizations where new services must coexist with legacy systems.
The group works for companies in a range of sectors, including financial services, healthcare, retail and consumer goods. These engagements require balancing user experience, operational constraints and security requirements. The value sought therefore lies not only in delivering code, but also in integrating tools into the client’s processes.
Artificial intelligence plays a growing role in this offering. With its CI&T FLOW platform, the company aims in particular to integrate generative AI into development and collaboration methods. The challenge is to assist teams with their tasks while retaining mechanisms to control the quality of the results.
What comes next?
For CI&T, the next step lies in turning AI experiments into applications that can genuinely be put to use. This requires managing costs, data privacy and integration with existing architectures. The group also operates in a competitive market, facing major IT services companies and digital engineering specialists. Its ability to demonstrate measurable gains, without reducing its role to supplying developers, will be decisive in deepening its relationships with large companies.
