What Integer does

Integer Consulting is a Portuguese IT consulting and outsourcing firm founded in 2007 in Lisbon by CEO Luís Setúbal. The company provides IT outsourcing, nearshore project delivery, custom software development, and cybersecurity solutions to national and multinational enterprises across Portugal, Brazil, and Europe. The firm employs 101-250 people and operates from three offices in Lisbon (headquarters), Porto, and São Paulo.

The core service portfolio comprises four pillars: (1) IT Outsourcing with three engagement models — Fixed Cost, Time & Materials, and IT Contracting; (2) a Nearshore Center delivering remote technical teams from Lisbon, Porto, and São Paulo; (3) Cybersecurity Solutions anchored by the proprietary Cybersonar product (infrastructure assessment, Black/White/Grey Box penetration testing, active threat prevention); and (4) Tailor-Made Solutions covering end-to-end product engineering, UX/UI, cloud, IoT, Big Data, and AI/ML implementation. Technical breadth spans 30+ technologies including GCP, Angular, Java, AI/ML, IoT, Blockchain, DevOps, and SAP. The firm also operates internal platforms (BFF referral, TradeIN marketplace, Inside communications) and talent programs (Integer Academy, Integer Evolve, Integer Innovation Center).

The business model is sales-led professional services: revenue derives entirely from consulting engagements scoped via Fixed Cost, Time & Materials, or per-consultant IT Contracting, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or product/SaaS revenue. The firm is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, or M&A history. It holds ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 27001 (information security, 2021), and ISO 27701 (privacy, 2021) certifications from APCER, and was among the first Portuguese firms certified to the latter two standards, which the company indicates some clients treat as prerequisites for engagement.
