The call

TIVIT is a real, growing services business now owned outright by Almaviva, sitting in the exact labor-arbitrage lane AI agents are learning to do cheaper.

TIVIT provides managed IT support, help desk services, and process automation for companies across Latin America, generating nearly R$2 billion annually. The company is now fully owned by its parent Almaviva, which borrowed heavily to buy it, meaning TIVIT's owners no longer benefit from any future growth. The biggest threat is that artificial intelligence can automate the routine help desk and support work that TIVIT sells, while global competitors like Accenture and IBM already operate in the same countries and can copy TIVIT's services. The hiring freeze and debt pile make it hard to invest in new areas, but if TIVIT can shift more work toward complex system upgrades and security services that AI cannot easily replace, the company could stabilize.

Why
01
AI pressure: Agentic AI support and AIOps tools (autonomous remediation, AI helpdesk agents). Help desk, L1/L2 support and RPA work, TIVIT's bread and butter, is exactly what AI agents are being built to replace. Could AI do the core job? Yes, likely.
02
Bigger players: Accenture, IBM, and hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP). IBM already lists TIVIT as a partner/reseller rather than a rival, showing how these giants sit above and around it in the value chain. Could a giant copy it? Yes, easily.
03
What protects it. Decade-long embedded contracts and regulated SAP/mainframe/MDR integrator work that's slow to rip out.
What would change this call
Almaviva's first consolidated financial disclosure reconciling TIVIT's revenue and margins. Shows whether TIVIT's business is stable or shrinking under parent ownership.
Whether TIVIT's 2025 hiring freeze reverses or turns into layoffs/sibling-unit mergers by mid-2026. Indicates if integration is stabilizing or hollowing out TIVIT's workforce.
CADE's final ruling on the Almaviva-TIVIT deal and any imposed remedies. Reveals regulatory constraints that could reshape TIVIT's market position.
Key numbers
  • 2024 revenue R$1.97B, up 9.4% YoY (2025-06-17)
  • Acquired via €580M in parent-level notes and credit (2025-07-17)
  • 80% drop in hiring postings in 2025 (2025-08-01)
Named risks
  • Core labor-arbitrage services (help desk, L1/L2 support, RPA) directly exposed to AI automation and agentic support tools. Severity: high
  • Parent Almaviva carries 580 million euros in acquisition debt; covenant stress could constrain TIVIT investment or autonomy. Severity: medium
  • Post-acquisition integration includes 80% drop in job postings in 2025, raising risk of layoffs or merger into sibling Almaviva units. Severity: medium
  • Revenue figures conflict across sources (R$1.97B vs claimed US$2B+), indicating thin post-acquisition financial transparency. Severity: medium
  • CADE (Brazil antitrust) clearance status and any imposed remedies not independently confirmed post-2025. Severity: low

Questions people ask
Who owns TIVIT now?
TIVIT is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Italian group Almaviva S.p.A., which signed a definitive agreement in June 2025 to buy 100% of TIVIT from Apax Funds, with the deal closed by July 2025. TIVIT no longer has independent equity or a public listing.
Is TIVIT profitable?
Public sources do not disclose a net profit figure. TIVIT's 2024 net revenue was R$1.97 billion, up 9.4% year over year, with 2023 net debt of R$509.7 million, but no post-acquisition profitability data has been released as of mid-2025.
Could AI replace TIVIT's services?
TIVIT's core managed-infrastructure, help-desk, RPA and level-1/2 support work is directly exposed to AI automation like AIOps and agentic support. Its regulated SAP RISE, mainframe and MDR systems-integrator contracts are harder to automate but face slow competition from Accenture and IBM in LatAm as of 2025.
Is TIVIT laying off employees in 2026?
No confirmed layoffs are reported, but active job postings fell roughly 80 to 88% in 2025 versus 2024 per Revelio Labs data (as of 2026-06-29), even as total headcount grew to about 6,729, signaling a hiring slowdown during Almaviva integration.
Who is TIVIT's biggest competitor?
In Latin America, TIVIT competes with Stefanini and Sonda for IT services, and its own former spin-off Neobpo in BPO. Globally, Accenture and IBM operate in the same LatAm managed-services market, with IBM listing TIVIT Colombia as a partner/reseller as of 2025.
What did Almaviva pay to acquire TIVIT?
The deal value was undisclosed, but Almaviva financed the June 2025 acquisition partly through 350 million euros in 5.00% senior secured notes due 2030 plus an upsized 230 million euro revolving credit facility, per Milbank's July 2025 announcement.
