What prefitech does

Prefitech is a private technology consultancy founded in São Paulo in 2019 and operating through offices in São Paulo and Paris. It serves research institutions, business enterprises, and public bodies with diagnostic assessments, technology transition and migration, application hosting and infrastructure management, consulting, and training. The company's stated problems include reducing dependency on proprietary software vendors and addressing interoperability, security, data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and software-cost predictability.

Its delivery model uses an open-source-first stack organized around Enumera, a proprietary operational ecosystem designed for extended interoperability and integration of reflective components. The stack includes open-source ERP, CRM, BI, communication and collaboration, data-management, and bibliographic tools, supplemented by custom development and infrastructure delivered as SaaS, on-premise, or hybrid. Prefitech uses a direct, relationship-led, diagnosis-first sales motion, with an apparently quote-based pricing model. A four-axis assessment covering interoperability, security, sovereignty, and sobriety leads to implementation, infrastructure, training, and follow-up. No standard pricing tiers, revenue, headcount, or funding data are disclosed.

Core offering

Prefitech provides technology consulting, training, application hosting, and management services centered on its proprietary Enumera operational ecosystem. The company delivers full-cycle engagements — diagnosis, transition, infrastructure, and consulting/training — to build sovereign open-source digital ecosystems for academic, enterprise, and public-sector clients in Brazil and Europe. All delivered solutions use 100% open-source software with zero proprietary licenses.

Product overview

Prefitech offers a unified portfolio of consulting and implementation services centered on its proprietary Enumera ecosystem, complemented by four integrated service offerings: Diagnosis (strategic assessment), Transition (implementation), Infrastructure (deployment and operations), and Consulting & Training (capacity building). Rather than selling isolated tools, Prefitech delivers complete sovereign digital ecosystems through a cyclical methodology where diagnosis leads to implementation, and training feeds back into new diagnostic cycles. All offerings prioritize open-source software with zero proprietary licenses.

Broad incumbents

• Red Hat (IBM): Global leader in enterprise open-source software and services, including sovereign-cloud offerings. While far larger and broader than Prefitech, Red Hat's open-source consulting practice competes for the same enterprise and public-sector digital-sovereignty engagements.
• Capgemini: Global IT services and consulting leader with a substantial open-source and sovereign-cloud practice. Competes with Prefitech at the high end of enterprise and public-sector digital-sovereignty engagements in both Brazil and France.

Direct peers

• Canonical: Commercial open-source vendor behind Ubuntu, offering enterprise support and managed services for open infrastructure. Directly comparable to Prefitech in philosophy (open-source-first) and in serving regulated, sovereignty-conscious customers.
• SUSE: Enterprise open-source infrastructure provider with a strong focus on Linux, container, and sovereign-cloud workloads in EMEA. Comparable to Prefitech on the sovereign-infrastructure and open-source-stack axis.
• Thoughtworks: Global technology consultancy focused on software excellence, open-source adoption, and complex system modernization for enterprises. Similar boutique-to-mid-market positioning and comparable blend of strategy, engineering, and platform work.

Regional players

• Atos: French-headquartered IT services group with deep public-sector relationships and a dedicated sovereign-cloud portfolio. Comparable as a European digital-sovereignty incumbent and as a Paris-region competitor for Prefitech's French clients.
• Sopra Steria: European IT consultancy with strong public-sector and regulated-industry practice in France and across EMEA. Competes with Prefitech for sovereign digital transformation mandates in French government and large enterprises.
• CI&T: Brazilian-born digital and technology consultancy with international delivery and enterprise modernization expertise. Comparable as a Brazilian-rooted consultancy that has scaled internationally and competes for similar enterprise transformation work.
• Stefanini: Brazilian-headquartered global IT services provider with strong presence across LATAM and EMEA. Comparable as a large Brazilian competitor with open-source, infrastructure, and digital-transformation practices serving similar enterprise and public-sector buyers.

Others

• OW2: European independent open-source community and consortium promoting sovereign, vendor-neutral middleware. Comparable as a peer in the open-source-for-sovereignty ecosystem; serves as an enabler and potential channel rather than a direct competitor.
