Cemp
Cemp is a acronym for Centro de Empreendedorismo (Entrepreneurship Center). It’s a department at PUC-Rio University (Pontifícia Univesidade Católica at Rio de Janeiro). The department reached us asking for a system to help them manage some tasks in the course. Instead of developing yet another school manager software, we proposed an innovative solution: build the tools they needed around a community web site.
At that time we were trying to launch a new product on the market called NeoCommunity. The proposal was to deliver social networks for businesses. Beyond the traditional relationship tools any social network has, for each business, tools like project and team management were to be added according to the needs of the client. Cemp was the first project built on NeoCommunity and NeoBase, and is still in use.
Many advances were made on the NeoCommunity, but we came to see through time that it would fit better as a service than a product.

Who am I, by the way?
I'm a software engineer with almost 10 years of experience. I have worked in all levels of development, from junior programmer to IT director. I have also founded a company in 2005, and another in 2007, I left both in August 2009. This range of activities allowed me to blend together the skills of a good software architect with business perspective.
