Company

WIT is a software company that creates advanced applications and provides services for mobile telecommunications companies, TV Service Providers and banks. WIT also provides software for other companies that want to unleash the power of Mobile Communications and its convergence with the Internet.

WIT Software was founded in March 2001 as a spin-off from the University of Coimbra, Portugal. WIT currently has its Headquarters in Coimbra, two development Centers in Oporto and Leiria, and a business development office in Lisbon. WIT has also a branch in San Jose (California, US).

WIT is currently organized in three main business units:

This unit has banking clients (BCP, CGD, Banif), media clients (Controlinveste), energy clients (EDP) and other international clients such as TomTom and Real Networks.
