practices at quality management level holding certifications

such as ISO9001 and CMMI-Dev level 3. One of our key

differentiating factors and a cornerstone of the company's

challenges. We rely on a multi-faceted, dynamic, passionate

and highly qualified team composed by Senior Executives,

found. Ubiwhere also cooperates with leading national and

international technology companies which value our

partnership and recognize the company’s large-scale

contribution to their creative and innovative projects.

Our SectorsWith a client-oriented approach and focusing on innovation, our portfolio of products, services and solutions is

quite wide. In the Smart Cities sector, we embrace interoperability, Open Data and smart cloud-based services

as fundamental components of what we do. Focusing on Telecom and Future Internet, it ranges from areas

such as QoS (Quality of Service), Networking Convergence and Future Internet Services (NFVs). We also create

and develop tailor-made solutions that meet the needs of the market.

The successful exploitation of

innovative ideas comes from

our ability to imagine and

develop new tools for dynamic

and challenging environments.

an eye for innovation, we offer a

vast portfolio of products,

services and SaaS for the

Telecom and Future Internet

sectors. From Brazil and Africa,

Our company is committed to

create smart solutions for smart

cities in areas such as mobility,

tourism, energy and efficient

resource management.

Cities worldwide are facing

diverse challenges to

demonstrate its commitments

to environmental and social

demands. The growing concern

to find the right balance

between urban development

needs and global

environmental updates

challenges our company to

create smart solutions for smart

cities in several areas.

The competitive and

challenging environment of our

solutions, allied with our work

in different sectors has given us

the ability to develop a variety

of products and services that

best suits our customers’

expectations.

Since we have a diversified

portfolio of solutions for each

sector, we also feel the need to

embrace other specific projects

for specific customers’ needs

over the years.

Telecom & Future Internet Smart Cities Tailor-Made

The first time we met Ubiwhere was in a

European innovation project. We soon realized we

share a common vision and attitude towards the

future, where the will to make a difference in a

global and challenging market is key. Our first

conclusion was quick an easy: Let’s do something

together! And here we are, preparing the NEXT

new solutions… suiting the future together.

This last year working together with Ubiwhere

has been an enriching and promising experience.

And we’re sure this has only been the beginning!

It is vital for city managers to have an integrated

and unified perspective of the city they are

responsible for, with the purpose of changing

current urban interventions from reactive to

proactive.

Innovation, to build relationships of trust with our customers, and

to constitute a highly professional and solid team.

Applications

After the financial analysis of the 2016 data, we have the certainty that, without the help of our customers, partners, employees and stakeholders, nothing we achieved would have been possible.

And because a company does not do it alone, we would like to thank all those who are part of Ubiwhere's ecosystem, which has allowed us to grow and to perspective a future full of success.
