Affero is the perfect strategic partner in the deployment of integrated and convergent Corporate Education solutions which combine technologies, differentiated content and high standard services.
Affero's mission is to leverage organizational business’ results through the combination of personnel management, convergent technology-based solutions for learning & development (including e-learning) and talent & knowledge management.
Brazil represents a huge potential market – because of its more than 180 million inhabitants - and, regardless the economic situation around the world, the country is experiencing some important growth rates through a stable politic environment.
Nevertheless, one of Brazil's main challenges in order to experience a faster growth rate is the lack of qualified and skilled work labor force throughout different sectors. This fact represents a terrific opportunity to Corporate Education business.
Affero is already recognized in the Corporate Education business as the only company in Brazil capable of offering complete and convergent solutions which combine technology, content and consulting in e-Learning, Talent Management and Knowledge Management. As a result, Affero’s solutions support the implementation of organizational strategies through a complete understanding of business’ needs and through the effective combination of products, services and people. The company also provides innovative software and technologies aiming corporate training improvement, such as authoring tools, content management platforms, communities of practice, mobile learning and virtual learning environments, among many others.
Affero was conceived from three experienced Brazilian former companies (QuickMind, EduWeb and Milestone) merger in 2009. The three former companies shared the same entrepreneurship values and now, as Affero, the new venture intends to be the main Corporate Education solutions’ provider in Latin America and to take advantage of its leadership position in local market in order to experience a fast and sustainable growth.
Affero’s portfolio includes company-owned and partnership technologies in SaaS model, standardized content, on demand content development services, consulting services and business process outsourcing services.
More than a hundred and sixty companies from different industries already count on Affero’s solutions, including some of the most important companies in Brazil, such as Vale, Petrobras, SulAmérica, White Martins, Embratel, Prudential, Eletropaulo, Nextel, Natura, Algar, Citibank, Atento and Odebrecht. In spite of Affero’s headquarters being located in Rio de Janeiro and of its branch office being located in São Paulo, the company’s operation is unrestricted throughout Brazilian territory and worldwide.
One of Affero’s own SaaS technologies, QuickLessons - a fast and easy collaborative platform to create online courses on the cloud (www.quicklessons.com) - is commercialized to over 18 countries across Europe, USA and Africa by our subsidiary based in Miami - QuickLessons LLC.
In spite of being a start up operation, this venture has already established a global sales channel to more than 15 partners covering more than 25 countries all over the globe.
