OUR HISTORY

FAST's journey began in 2005 with an undergraduate project at UFPE’s Computer Science Center conducted in partnership with the Recife Center for Advanced Studies and Systems (C.E.S.A.R.). The project consisted of an automobile telemetry system in which FAST was responsible for the software development and C.E.S.A.R. for the hardware.

Given the project’s success and the entrepreneurs’ affinity, it was decided to keep the team and search for new business opportunities. Also in 2005, a new work proposal was presented by C.E.S.A.R. to the young students. In early 2006, FAST was legally incorporated.

Since its foundation, FAST as worked with partners of significant importance on the national scene such as the C.E.S.A.R., Chemtech, Neurotech and dnata. Through these partnerships in the development of on-demand software, FAST began to meet the needs of major customers such as public and private banks, multinational corporations in the telecommunications sector and other companies from various production sectors.

Between 2006 and 2008, FAST excelled in the use of Microsoft technologies. This period included 3 participations in the Imagine Cup, a worldwide competition organized by Microsoft that encourages the development of innovative solutions by students. The results of the participation were 2nd place national, national champion, and 4th place on the world stage of the competition.

From 2008 onwards, the company focused on expanding its customer base. During this period, FAST landed its first international customer, Modular Mining Systems, a mining technology company based in Arizona (USA). Nationally, it has served more than 20 direct and 50 indirect customers in partnership projects.
