Quidgest is a software engineering company, founded in Portugal in 1988, with headquarters in Lisbon, Madrid, London, Maputo and Dili.
From its early beginnings, Quidgest dedicated its resources towards the Public Administration modernization, with large research investments for this sector. The high number of clients’ requests and the lack of technicians in the early 90’s led Quidgest to create Genio, a highly productive software development platform that has been daily used since 1991 for the production of all information systems. Between 1989 and 1995, Quidgest centred its activity on clients’ specific requirements and developed an integrated information system for Public Administration combining Human Resources, Finance & Accounting, Assets Management and Document Management, along with more specific solutions. Using Genio, the company’s highly productive software development platform, Quidgest developed a high capacity of introducing new specification requirements in its software solutions and quickly became a strong reference as a custom-built software supplier. Between 1996 and 1998, Quidgest migrated all its software solutions to Microsoft Visual C++. In 2005, Quidgest added C# and Java languages to its auto-generated code, being able to produce multi-programming language solutions. All information systems produced by Quidgest from the year 2000 were available in MSDB Microsoft SQL Server and were adapted a year later for Oracle and IBM DB2. Quidgest became a Microsoft Certified Solution Provider in 1999, as well as a Microsoft Certified Partner in 2001; Microsoft ISV/Software Solutions (Information Software Vendor), Microsoft NIS (Networking Infrastructure Solutions) and Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in 2005. Also a certified training entity, with recognized Leader SME, Quidgest joined COTEC’s innovative SMEs network in 2006. In early 2008, the company has also achieved the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Certification, reinforcing its national and international client portfolio with a guarantee of excellence. Quidgest is building a worldwide network of partners that share Genio’s automatic generation capabilities. QuidNet is structured to deliver technology and services that provide competitive and cost-effective business solutions. Currently, Quidgest already has development poles in Barcelona, London and East-Timor, joint ventures in Lithuania, São Tomé and PrÃncipe and Mozambique, and local partnerships in Angola.
