In 1990, Belo Horizonte City / Minas Gerais State – Brazil, Some orders were made to the founders of Teknisa to provide IT management systems for several fields of business. This led to the beginning of an outsourcing-oriented enterprise. Among the several systems initially developed were an enrollment controller for the Federal University of Minas Gerais and a hotel sector-oriented software.
In 1991, the Food Management Software – TecFood - was available for the first client without a copyright contract. It was developed by Wilson Lima de Paula and George Lima de Paula, both responsible for its whole development process. They had carried out researches in the Food Service Industry and found out there was a lack of specific mangement systems.
From that moment Teknisa was established and its name emerged from linking the words Information Technology and Automation Systems (Tecnologia em Informática and Sistemas de Automação). At the same time, Teknisa launched its first product to be largely traded and distributed: TecFood.
After achieving success in the brazilian market, Teknisa was demanded to serve other markets and to offer complete solutions to its clients. Hence, Teknisa launched, in 1999, the software Agent2b – a versatile and modular corporative management system with the ERP technology that serves all departments within an enterprise. In the middle of the year 2002 Teknisa made Agent2b available in its web version, with a foresight in the future.
