What Asset does

Asset IT (legal name: Asset Tecnologia da Informação Ltda.) is a privately held Brazilian IT infrastructure integrator and managed services provider headquartered in Curitiba, Paraná, founded in 2013. The company operates as an IBM Gold Business Partner and delivers enterprise infrastructure solutions centered on IBM FlashSystem storage, IBM Power Systems servers, VMware virtualization, Red Hat OpenShift container platforms, ExaGrid-Veeam data protection, and Lenovo server hardware, with hybrid cloud capabilities spanning AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud. Asset IT's portfolio is organized into four core service lines: Asset Managed Services (tiered 8x5, 24x7, and premium 24x7 unlimited support subscriptions), Armazenamento e Proteção de Dados (storage and backup solutions with disaster recovery), Otimização e Modernização de Infraestrutura (virtualization and infrastructure modernization), and Governança de Custos (Master Data Management and FinOps advisory supporting SAP ECC-to-S/4HANA migration scenarios).

The company generates revenue through three streams: subscription-based managed services contracts, project-based professional services for infrastructure implementation and modernization, and resale of hardware and software from IBM, Lenovo, VMware, and other technology vendors. Pricing is quote-based for enterprise projects; managed services follow monthly subscription billing with tiered SLA commitments (8-hour, 4-hour, and 1-hour response). Asset IT serves mid-market and enterprise customers primarily in southern Brazil (Paraná and Santa Catarina), with 40+ disclosed customer logos spanning healthcare (Unimed Blumenau, Medicar), education (Vitru Educação), manufacturing (Menegotti Têxtil, Ceramfix, Blumenau Iluminação), financial services (Senff), energy (Copel), government (Celepar), and data center services (Global Gate DC). The go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales, IBM co-marketing, and case-study-led demand generation.

Asset IT is founder-led under CEO Claiton Zanella (Diretor Executivo), with Ana Paula Farias as Diretora de Operações. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional investment, operates with 11-50 employees, and has begun expanding its commercial footprint into Brazil's Northeast region via a BR Link (Ingram Micro) channel partnership.
