We are made up of people who have the CWI culture within them.

People like us face challenges as possibilities of growth, recognize in the other the complement of their skills, value collaboration and respect the differences.

Here knowledge flows and makes the high technical level scalable. It's part of us the incessant desire of excellence, adaptability and transparency in all actions.

We offer more than relevant technological solutions, we deliver strategies that transform markets, habits and behaviors.

Always close to you

With employees spread throughout Brazil, we have three offices: in the capital of São Paulo and, in Rio Grande do Sul, in Porto Alegre and São Leopoldo. In this way, we maintain the hybrid work model, which allows us to be much closer, whether physical or digital.

Our history

The classic story of the technology company that was born in a garage is also part of our foundation. Back in the early 90s, three young people came together with the aim of starting a business.

Since then, many events have contributed to our history. Technology changes, corporate restructuring, the millennium bug and market transformations were some of the challenges that emerged in our path and made us stronger.

Since the beginning of our history, we have Software Development as our main objective, but the idea that “delivery quality is the best seller” guides our decisions and contributes to today's position among the largest technology companies in Brazil.
