PROBLEM
The fifth largest sanitation company in Brazil and the best sanitation company in the country, according to the 2011 AESBE (Brazilian Association of State Sanitation Companies) ranking, sought Visionnaire to stay updated on modern requirements and development technologies of corporate software.

 
SOLUTION
Visionnaire provided training in Requirements, Java and EJB with excellence within the planned periods for Sanepar's technical team, which later continued independently in the institutionalization of technologies in the company and in the use of software systems development.

 
RESULTS
In many public companies in the first decade of the 2000s, the existing scenario was that the personnel of the area of ​​Information Technology (IT) needed to be trained in modern technologies of the time that came to change the paradigm of software development.

 
It was a challenge to find companies in Brazil that had the latest technology already in place to provide training. Visionnaire was the company chosen by Sanepar, and during the years 2005, 2006 and 2007, it provided training for more than 70 professionals in the IT and Administration areas.

 
The main result in training of modern technologies for companies is always the insertion of a new way of thinking, which happened at Sanepar, allowing the systems developed by the agency in the following years to enjoy the best software technology for its customers, the citizens.

 
TECHNOLOGY
Visionnaire's work for Sanepar was a set of training courses, so there was no software developed. The technologies from which Visionnaire trained Sanepar professionals were: Requirements Management, Requirements Analysis, Object Oriented Analysis, Object Oriented Design, Java Programming, JEE – Java Enterprise Edition (currently Jakarta EE) and Programming with EJB – Enterprise Java Beans.

 
Detailed problem:
In the first decade of the 2000s, many corporations started to implement what had been a trend that was born before the turn of the millennium, which was the technology of Distributed Objects, alongside corporate systems developed in Java and UML (Unified Modeling Language).

 
Following this line, Sanepar (Brazilian Portuguese for Paraná Sanitation Company) contacted Visionnaire to provide training for its technical personnel in these technologies. There was a major paradigm shift in corporate systems, and that shift was mainly from the Client/Server philosophy to the Distributed, Object-based philosophy.

 
Visionnaire was the pioneer company in Brazil and implemented Object Orientation technology in companies, being the official representative of OMG (Object Management Group) in South America. Sanepar is the fifth largest sanitation company in Brazil and the best sanitation in the country, according to the AESBE/Jornal Brasil Econômico ranking (2011), and because of that, it sought Visionnaire to keep itself updated.

 
Detailed solution:
Visionnaire, together with Sanepar IT staff, planned and executed a set of training courses that involved training in: Object Oriented Requirements Analysis and Management, Java Programming and EJB Programming – Enterprise Java Beans. Thus, Sanepar's technical staff could update themselves on technologies that were being used in corporate systems.

 
As a public company, the hiring process did not allow hiring for long periods, therefore Visionnaire carried out the training within the planned periods and Sanepar's technical team continued independently in the institutionalization of technologies in the company and in the use of software systems development.
