Founded in 1979, Itautec began its activities on Avenida do Estado, in Sāo Paulo, as a technology company originating from a department of Banco Itau. The company specialized in the development of products and solutions, eventually possessing the tenth largest installed base of self-service machines (ATMs), in the world and the second largest in Latin America, according to Retail Banking Research, and the largest proprietary network of IT technical assistance in Brazil.[3]
In 1980, Itautec established its first online presence as GRI Gerenciador de Redes Itautec, known as the "Itautec Network Services Provider," along with Banktec mainframes.
