solid Brazilian businesses in the area of technology, project management and outsourcing, which had a staff of 4,000
collaborators and an annual income of 50 million dollars in 2006, when Ricardo Vargas sold his share of the company to
dedicate himself on a fulltime basis to the internationalization of his project management activities.
