What CETIUC does

CETIUC — Centro de Estudios de Tecnologías de Información de la UC — is a Chilean research and education center founded in 2003 and headquartered in Macul, Santiago. It is affiliated with the School of Engineering at Universidad Católica de Chile, which provides its academic identity and the distribution channel for its professional education programs. The organization employs 11–50 people and operates as a private, non-profit research institution rather than a venture-backed company.

CETIUC's core product is a portfolio of recurring national benchmark studies for Chilean enterprises. The flagship studies are ENTI (Estudio Nacional de Tecnologías de Información), ENCI (Estudio Nacional de Ciberseguridad), and ESUTI (Estudio de Satisfacción de Usuarios de TI), supplemented by an annual IT Budget Benchmark and an IT & Cybersecurity Vendor Evaluation Benchmark. Results are delivered through a web-based subscriber platform (CETIUC Apps) with annual subscription billing. The company also operates Club CIO, an executive community for senior IT leaders from Chile's largest organizations, built around periodic breakfast meetings with high-level speakers and a multi-partner ecosystem. Complementary offerings include ITIL/COBIT/TOGAF-based consulting services and a catalog of professional diplomas and certifications (cybersecurity management, secure software development, agile digital transformation, ICT strategic management, ITIL 4) co-delivered through UC's professional education platform.

Commercially, CETIUC monetizes through four recurring streams: benchmark subscriptions, Club CIO membership, professional education fees routed via UC, and bespoke consulting engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is hybrid — community-led via Club CIO, content-driven via published benchmarks, event-driven via the America Digital Congress, and direct enterprise sales via phone, WhatsApp, and email. Named subscribers span Mutual de Seguridad, ISA, Viña Concha y Toro, Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago, Aguas Andinas, Enjoy Hoteles & Casinos, Arauco, Banco BCI, Barrick Gold, and multiple technology firms, indicating horizontal penetration across Chile's largest enterprises.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• ISACA: ISACA is a global professional association for IT governance, cybersecurity, and risk professionals, offering certifications (CISA, CISM, CRISC), research publications, and local chapter events. CETIUC pairs cybersecurity benchmark research (ENCI) with diploma programs in cybersecurity management, mirroring ISACA's research-plus-education-plus-community model at a local Chilean scale.
• Constellation Research: Constellation Research is an advisory and research firm focused on disruptive and emerging technologies, targeting CIOs and digital transformation leaders with subscription research and the annual Constellation Connected Enterprise summit. CETIUC's Club CIO plus digital transformation diploma program targets the same executive buyer with a comparable blend of research, events, and education.
• Foundry (formerly IDG / CIO): Founddy operates the CIO.com brand, the CIO 100 awards, and CIO events — a media-and-events franchise targeting CIOs worldwide. CETIUC's Club CIO breakfasts plus benchmarking content replicate Foundry's CIO-community-plus-research proposition at the country scale, monetizing the same executive audience through engagement rather than pure media.

Direct peers

• IDC (International Data Corporation): IDC is a global IT market research firm that runs enterprise IT tracking studies (including IT spending, cybersecurity, and industry-specific benchmarks) and produces syndicated reports on a subscription basis. CETIUC's ENTI, ENCI, and IT budget benchmark studies mirror IDC's enterprise tracker model, serving the same enterprise CIO audience with localized research.
• 451 Research (S&P Global): 451 Research publishes enterprise IT research with a focus on technology innovation, cybersecurity, and data center trends, sold largely to enterprise subscribers and vendors. CETIUC's domain-specialization in Chilean enterprise IT/cybersecurity benchmarking occupies the same niche as 451 Research globally — paid IT research targeting enterprise technology buyers.
• Forrester Research: Forrester publishes syndicated IT and cybersecurity research for enterprise buyers and offers advisory services to CIOs. Like CETIUC, it monetizes through enterprise subscriptions, publishes recurring benchmark-style studies, and sells consulting/implementation engagements — making it a structural twin to CETIUC's research-and-education stack at global scale.
• Gartner: Gartner is the global benchmark for IT advisory and benchmarking research. CETIUC operates a country-localized version of Gartner's CIO benchmarking model (annual studies on IT spending, cybersecurity, user satisfaction) tailored to Chilean enterprises, serving the same buyer (CIO/IT director) with a comparable subscription study model.

Broad incumbents

• Axians (VINCI Energies): Axians is the ICT brand of VINCI Energies, offering IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and digital transformation consulting across multiple geographies including Latin America. CETIUC's ITIL/COBIT/TOGAF consulting arm competes for the same Chilean CIO advisory budgets, though Axians is a much broader incumbent with implementation services rather than pure benchmarking research.
