C.E.S.A.R

The Recife Center for Advanced Studies and Systems (C.E.S.A.R), one of the major providers of technological solutions in the Brazilian market, operates on two basic fronts: developing exclusive projects and incubating new businesses in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

So far, the Center's competence and innovative spirit have been recognized with a number of important quality awards and certifications: C.E.S.A.R is one of the few software suppliers in Brazil to have obtained CMM2 certification for its development process, besides an ISO 9000 certificate for its incubation process. It was also elected the best software services company in Brazil in 2005 by Info Exame magazine, one of the leading national magazines specializing in business and IT journalism. In 2004, it was considered the most innovative research institute in the country by the Studies and Projects Financing Fund (Finep), linked to the Ministry of Science and Technology.

C.E.S.A.R was founded in 1996 as an initiative of the Center of Informatics at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) in order to stimulate the transfer of information technology knowledge into society. Through its incubation process, in almost ten years of existence the Center has directly and/or indirectly introduced roughly 30 new companies into the market. Its pioneering work with the J2ME language helped the Center become one of the first development and test centers for Motorola mobile devices.

With an area dedicated exclusively to innovation and the study of new information and communication technology applications in different market segments, C.E.S.A.R benefits its customers with projects that promote improved processes and products, resulting in higher quality and better terms and prices for the end user. Its competence ranges from neural networks and e-commerce to software engineering and digital systems architecture, including databases, wireless networks, distributed systems, Internet, information systems, network security and geo-processing.

C.E.S.A.R is the largest shareholder in Pitang and supports the company's operations with all the innovation and technology necessary for its projects.
