CI&T
IT company
CI&T is a Brazilian information technology and software development company.
History
CI&T was founded in 1995 as an IT group working with research and development (R&D) companies for software development before expanding to provide technical services to nearshore customers. Early clients included IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Vale, Natura, and Globo.
CI&T opened an office in Pennsylvania in 2006 and in Tokyo (Japan) and Ningbo (China) in 2009.
CI&T has been working as a technical integrator of digital marketing engagements with many of their clients. In 2017, CI&T acquired Conrade, a solution provider based in Oakland, in the United States. In 2019, Advent acquired 30% of CI&T participation from BNDES.
In June 2021, it announced the acquisition of Dextra, an IT services company headquartered in Campinas, near CI&T geographically. In November 2021, the company filed for an initial public offering and got listed on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
In 2022, CI&T announced the acquisition of three companies. The first was UK-headquartered Somo Global Ltd, an award-winning digital product agency, for US$67 million.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “CI&T” as iT company. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as iT company. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5119048. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2006, 2009 and 2017.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
