For Humberto Ribeiro, POLITEC's Head of International Operations, this is a result of the Global Reach Strategy that has been in place for 2 years at Politec, aiming at quality gains, productivity, and visibility simultaneously with globally competitive pricing. Beyond traditional certifications, like CMMi-5, POLITEC is also evolving in global diversity and a client-driven mindset, with three strategic lines:

Commercial Scope: Being present on the American market since 1999, with distinguished Clients in healthcare and government organizations such as the FBI, the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Navy, among many others, Politec adjusted its approach to the U.S. market by amplifying its portfolio services to go beyond Security Solutions and incorporating its Outsourcing offers with a concept of "Nearshore" - leveraging the benefits of Brazil in the context of IT Services and BPO - under the management of Dalton Luz, Politec U.S. Operations CEO, who recently strengthened that subsidiary sales team. Politec also installed new operations in Japan, managed by Stanley Fukuyama, and established partnerships with leading companies in China and Europe. With this approach, the company started to be directly and consistently present at the main Information Technology markets in the globe.

Portfolio Strengthening: A permanent reflection has been dedicated to the variety of products and services Politec offers to the market. Considering a vast experience of 35 years, Politec has always promoted its constant innovation mindset and carefully grown into new verticals offering valuable solutions and services that push its Clients ahead of their competition. Some of our recent portfolio additions include solutions developed for Auditing and Corporative Governance (Web Governance) and the creation of a new company within Politec's Group called PoliCS ( www.polics.com ), which is solely focused on SAP Services.

Talent Investment: Politec is expanding opportunities to its 6.000 collaborators to join activities that are being developed world-wide. This is based on digital infrastructures such as: (a) The innovative Global Delivery Model developed by Politec, which allows a fast and transparent relationship between our Clients and Collaborators around the globe; and (b) the Consolidation of the existing business knowledge that is spread throughout the organization within our Knowledge Base Corporate Portal. These activities, along the ongoing technical, business and foreign language education, empower Politec's talent base and optimizes the involvement of each professional in projects that match their expertise generating profit growth for the Client and our collaborators.

Up to this moment, the expectations are continuously expanding. According to Mr. Ribeiro, "We are temporarily on the emerging players list. Our Global Reach initiative maturity and the success we have been achieving with our Clients, Collaborators and Strategic Alliances, will soon allow us a place on the list of Top Global Players".
