What Somo, now CI&T does

CI&T is a publicly traded (NYSE: CINT) global technology transformation specialist headquartered in New York with operational roots in Brazil. The firm combines a nearshore delivery model — centered in Brazil and Colombia — with offices across the US (Oakland, Irvine, Princeton, Charleston, Washington DC), EMEA (London, Bristol, Lisbon), APAC (Melbourne, Brisbane, Tokyo, Singapore, Shanghai, Chengdu, Ningbo), and Canada, employing more than 8,000 people across 25+ countries. CI&T serves large enterprise clients across financial services, retail and consumer goods, life sciences and healthcare, automotive, telecommunications/media, education, and technology, with named engagements at AB InBev, Google, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft Heinz, Nestlé, Volkswagen, Audi, Ford, Itaú, C6 Bank, Banco Pan, YDUQS, Natura, Motorola, Panasonic, Mondelez, BASF, Sonos, Vodafone, Carrefour, Domino's, and Franklin Templeton.

The company's core technology stack is anchored by CI&T/FLOW, a generative AI orchestration platform that integrates AI agents with human workers, and Agentic SDLC — a methodology that re-engineers software delivery around autonomous agents and Claude Code. Supporting proprietary frameworks include Lean AI SDLC, GENIE (an enterprise AI framework), the Business Complexity Points measurement methodology, and productized assets such as the Regulated Content Generator, Healthcare Professional Engagement Management, CX Measurement Model, and lending accelerators (AccelLeads, AccelPOS, AccelCRM, AccelDocs). CI&T maintains core partnerships with Anthropic (Claude Partner Network, 1,000+ certified AI engineers), AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Salesforce, Adobe, Oracle, Acquia, and Databricks to deliver enterprise solutions.

CI&T's revenue model is built on professional services (technology consulting and implementation), managed services (ongoing application support and maintenance), and an emerging subscription/recurring layer anchored by the CI&T/FLOW AI platform. Pricing is enterprise quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with custom engagements scoped per client. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, an extensive analyst-recognized brand (Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for Custom Software Development Services, Forrester Leader for Modern Application Development Services, Everest Group PEAK Matrix placements), an event-led marketing engine (Future Ready Summit, SXSW, NRF, HIMSS, Web Summit), and co-sell through its hyperscaler ecosystem partners. Since founding in 1996, CI&T has scaled via organic growth and tuck-in acquisitions, with notable deals including Comrade (2022), Somo (EMEA), Dextra, NTERSOL, Box 1824, and Transpire. Advent International provided strategic private equity investment in 2024 immediately preceding the NYSE IPO under ticker CINT.

While much larger and broader, it overlaps heavily on the same Fortune 500 enterprise accounts and the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Custom Software Development Services.
