  • Atlantis Administração Ltda was an holding company for a group of retail market of womem fashion and surf-wear. This group has had the CEO Mr. Peter Simon, and had CANTÃO, REDLEY and C4 chain of  shops located at  Shopping Centers and also some special streets of the Rio de Janeiro City. Also one shoe factory named IRWIN was also part of the group.


  • I have started work with this group doing training about Project Management. Then they invited me to be an IT Manager for the group.
  • The fashion environment was a very dynamic and creative and the IT environment was lacking a lot of resources and tasks to do. These were the reasons why I accepted the invitation. My project included the installation of computers and local area network environment in all companies. I Hired and contracted IT people to give help desk, training, support and develop some special applications. I created small  IT teams working on each company and one IT group centralized at the holding company supporting the small teams. I hired also hardware technician associates because we decided to buy computer parts and to assembly them by ourselves to reduce cost of the computers.
  • For accounting, financial, human resources and fixed asset we bought application packages from the market after one benchmark process. For the differential applications related with inventory control of the chain of shops Cantao, Redley and C4  we developed the application internally,   using C-language and C-TREE for access method (to create the applications databases) over Novell Netware 3.11 platform.
