Technology consulting built on thirty years of delivering real results.
We work alongside organizations that need more than advice — they need a partner that executes. Since 1996, we have combined rigorous project management, specialized IT capabilities and a people-first philosophy to turn ambitious strategies into measurable outcomes.
Excellence was never an aspiration — it was where we started.
OnSet Tecnologia was founded in 1996 with a straightforward conviction: that Brazilian companies deserved an IT partner capable of bridging the gap between strategic intent and operational reality. In the years that followed, that conviction only deepened. The technology landscape shifted dramatically — from on-premise infrastructure to cloud-native architectures, from isolated projects to enterprise-wide transformation programmes — and we evolved alongside every wave of change.
What remained constant was our core belief that technology alone solves nothing. Genuine impact requires skilled people, disciplined processes, and a commitment to governance that keeps complexity from undoing good work. Over three decades, that approach has helped manufacturing conglomerates, financial services firms, retailers and public-sector organisations translate their most demanding IT agendas into results that show up in the numbers that matter to boards and shareholders.
Today, OnSet is a recognised authority in IT infrastructure, SAP environments, PMO-as-a-Service, professional staffing and custom application development — a breadth that lets us engage wherever our clients need us most, at any stage of a transformation journey.
Explore our servicesThe principles that guide every engagement
We articulate these not for the sake of a wall poster but because they genuinely shape how we hire, how we design solutions and how we measure our own success on behalf of clients.
Mission
To transform strategy into results by combining cutting-edge technology, exceptional talent and processes that make a measurable difference — delivering not just deliverables, but lasting organisational impact.
Vision
To be the IT consultancy of reference for organisations seeking to execute their strategies with confidence — recognised for excellence in project delivery, the quality of our professionals and our uncompromising ethical standards.
Values
Integrity in every interaction. Rigour in every methodology. Respect for people — clients, partners, and our own team. A long-term view in a market that often rewards short-term thinking. And a relentless drive to improve, even when things are already going well.
Milestones that shaped who we are
Our history is not a straight line — it is a record of deliberate choices to evolve, specialise and raise the bar each time the market demanded more.
Founded in São Paulo
OnSet Tecnologia is established with a focus on IT infrastructure consulting for mid-size enterprises navigating rapid digital expansion in Brazil.
SAP practice launched
Growing demand for ERP governance leads us to formalise a dedicated SAP service line, covering implementation support, environment optimisation and ongoing operations.
Professional Services division
Clients increasingly needed senior IT talent on-site and on-demand. We launched a structured professional staffing capability, providing embedded experts aligned to client culture and priorities.
PMOaaS model introduced
Recognising that most IT failures stem from poor governance rather than poor technology, we formalised our PMO-as-a-Service offering — giving clients a fully operational project management office without the overhead of building one in-house.
Low-code application development
We invested in a proprietary low-code development capability, enabling faster, more cost-effective delivery of bespoke business applications without sacrificing flexibility or maintainability.
PMO Global Alliance recognition
Our PMOaaS practice is evaluated by the PMO Awards judging panel at the PMO Global Alliance — independent validation of the methodology and governance standards we have refined over decades of real-world project delivery.
A structured philosophy, not a flexible methodology du jour
Every consulting firm claims to be different. We prefer to show it through the way we engage: before a single solution is proposed, we insist on understanding the specific execution constraints that have historically caused strategy to stall in your organisation. That diagnostic rigour — combined with five operational pillars applied consistently across every mandate — is what separates us from firms that arrive with a pre-packaged answer looking for a compatible question.
Diagnosis before prescription
We spend meaningful time mapping the real landscape — legacy dependencies, political constraints, budget realities, team capabilities — before committing to a roadmap. Solutions designed in the absence of this context almost always disappoint.
Governance as a competitive advantage
Our PMO frameworks are not bureaucracy for its own sake. They exist to give executive sponsors real-time visibility, to surface risks before they become incidents, and to ensure that delivery pace never outstrips organisational readiness.
Technology independence
We advise on the right technology for the client's context — not on the technology that generates the highest margin for us. That independence is why clients return for new mandates long after the first engagement concludes.
Knowledge transfer by design
A healthy engagement ends with client teams that are more capable than when we arrived. We build knowledge transfer milestones into every contract, deliberately reducing dependency on external support over time.
Accountability from day one
We define success metrics at the outset and report against them openly throughout. If something is off-track, our clients hear it from us first — not from their own escalation chain. This level of transparency is uncomfortable for some firms to offer. We consider it non-negotiable.
Signatory to the United Nations Global Compact
Our ESG programme is not a marketing exercise. It is anchored in formal policy commitments — environmental stewardship, sustainable procurement, human and labour rights, and a code of ethics and conduct — all aligned with the ten principles of the UN Global Compact. We publish an annual Communication on Progress and hold ourselves to independent scrutiny.
Evaluated by the PMO Awards Judging Committee — PMO Global Alliance
The PMO Global Alliance is the world's largest professional association dedicated to project management offices. Its annual PMO Awards programme subjects submissions to rigorous evaluation by an independent judging panel drawn from senior practitioners across multiple countries. OnSet's PMOaaS practice was selected for evaluation — recognition of the methodology depth, governance maturity and client impact we bring to every project management engagement. It confirms what our clients have known for years: that structured, accountable PMO delivery changes outcomes in ways that ad-hoc project management simply cannot replicate.
The measure of our work is the words of our clients
We do not ask for testimonials until an engagement is genuinely complete — and the results are genuinely in.
"OnSet brought a level of project governance discipline that we frankly had not experienced before. Their PMOaaS model gave us full visibility across a complex, multi-workstream programme — and the delivery outcomes reflected that. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any organisation facing a serious IT transformation agenda."
"Working with OnSet transformed the way our company executes on technology initiatives. Their team does not just manage projects — they actively anticipate the friction points that cause programmes to stall and deal with them before they become issues. The results have been tangible and they continue to be a strategic partner for us."
"The PMO Awards judging process evaluates not just what a firm claims about its methodology, but how that methodology performs in real client environments. OnSet's submission demonstrated genuine maturity — coherent governance frameworks, transparent performance metrics and evidence of sustained client impact across diverse sectors."
Brilliant people, focused on your specific needs
Our professionals are not generalists rotated between engagements to fill a headcount requirement. They are specialists — selected for depth in their domain, embedded in client environments, and accountable to the outcomes they were brought in to achieve. We invest heavily in their development because the quality of our work begins and ends with the quality of our team.
Domain specialists
Every professional we place has demonstrable depth in their discipline — whether that is SAP Basis, infrastructure architecture, PMO governance or software engineering. No generalist gap-fillers.
Client-context alignment
We take time to understand each client's culture, political dynamics and operational constraints before deploying anyone. The right person technically can still fail if they do not fit the environment.
Continuous development
Certifications, methodology updates, emerging technology exposure — we treat professional development as an operational investment, not a discretionary benefit. Our people stay current because our clients require it.
Ethical conduct as a baseline
Our code of ethics and conduct applies as rigorously to individual professionals in the field as it does to the firm's leadership. There is no context in which we allow standards to slip.
