About IVIA

IVIA Serviços de Informática Ltda. was a Brazilian information technology company established in 1996 by Alexandre Menezes. Headquartered in the Northeast of Brazil, it operated offices in Fortaleza-Ceará, Recife-Pernambuco, and Natal-Rio Grande do Norte. The company specialized in providing a range of IT solutions, including system development, maintenance, consulting, and project management services.

IVIA catered to a diverse client base across multiple sectors in Brazil, such as financial services, transportation, retail, healthcare, consumer goods, and manufacturing. The firm was recognized for its quality and processes, holding ISO 9001, MPS.BR, and CMMI ratings, and was frequently named one of the best companies to work for in Brazil by Great Place to Work®. The business model focused on developing solutions to enhance client operations by reducing costs, increasing productivity, and fostering innovation.

In July 2020, Wipro Limited, a global IT, consulting, and business process services company, announced it signed an agreement to acquire IVIA for approximately $22.4 million. The acquisition was a strategic move for Wipro to expand its geographical footprint and establish delivery centers in the northeast of Brazil, leveraging IVIA's local talent and established client relationships. At the time of the acquisition announcement, IVIA had a workforce of over 700 professionals. The transaction was completed in August 2020.
