With projected revenue of \u20ac11.5 million in 2015, the company\u2019s long-term goal is to grow by one billion euros over the next 15 years. The motivation behind this ambitious goal stems from the progress achieved over the past decade, during which the strategy of investing in new markets and business areas has enabled the opening of offices in 8 countries, the development of projects across 4 continents, and the creation of 3 Centers of Excellence to mobilize and disseminate the knowledge of the agap2 network.<\/p>\n<p>According to Filipe Esteves, Managing Director of agap2, <em>\u201cagap2 was founded with a very clear vision, one that already incorporated an international dimension in terms of how we wanted to enter the market and set ourselves apart. Every aspect of the work we\u2019ve carried out over the past 10 years aligns with this goal of establishing ourselves as a leading organization known for the quality of our technological solutions and the reach of our international network in competitive markets. The capacity for growth we have demonstrated validates the strategy we have followed and allows us to set even more ambitious goals. The services we offer, the consultants we have recruited and trained, and the processes we have implemented assure us that agap2 has the capacity to grow even further.\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This development led to the agap2 project, which began as <em>startup<\/em>, it is evolving into a platform for <em>nearshore<\/em> in Portugal, capitalizing on the potential and expertise of Portuguese engineers, and has now grown to its current seven specialized technical units, with the aim of complementing the consulting firm\u2019s services, supported by a team of more than 2,000 consultants across Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The programs offered today range from those that combine flexible training with professional development for recent college graduates in a business setting (<em>Academy<\/em>); the development of information technologies that support business applications, in terms of both technology and processes (<em>Integration Services<\/em>); support for projects in the format of <em>Neashoring (Nearshoring Services)<\/em>; the promotion of services based on the excellence of the consulting teams, in the <em>know-how<\/em> and in flexibility and responsiveness (<em>Outsourcing Services<\/em>); the development of ideas and the implementation of truly innovative proof-of-concept projects, with the goal of creating solutions, products, and projects using emerging technologies (<em>Research &amp; Development<\/em>); a focus on developing customized solutions that meet the needs of businesses and the market (<em>Solutions Delivery<\/em>) and support for skills development and <em>know-how<\/em> through training that fosters knowledge and talent (<em>Training<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Given the potential to create value for organizations, the approach developed with regard to the consulting firm\u2019s human capital fosters close relationships and values its professionals. The challenge lies not only in recruiting the best consultants but also in enabling their genuine growth, achieved through training and by encouraging them to identify new ideas and service opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>The path to the future lies in entrusting talented professionals with responsibility and allowing them to grow, thereby enabling them to naturally add value to the organization and contribute to its growth.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the close collaboration with agap2\u2019s clients is part of the challenge of achieving the highest standards in the market, as a network of partnerships is developed and rigorous quality control processes are applied to the projects undertaken.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A agap2 cumpre em 2015 o seu 10\u00ba anivers\u00e1rio com a meta de potenciar uma rede internacional com mais de 2.000 consultores em 8 escrit\u00f3rios no continente europeu.
