From its early roots to 2026: the TOTVS story

TOTVS was founded in Brazil in 1983 as Microsiga Software by Laércio Cosentino and Ernesto Haberkorn, initially developing business-management systems for smaller companies.

How TOTVS developed

It expanded through a franchise model from 1990, entered Argentina in 1997 and adopted the TOTVS name in 2005 as acquisitions and geographic growth broadened the group beyond its Microsiga roots.

TOTVS in 2026

By 2026, TOTVS was one of Latin America’s major enterprise-software companies, offering ERP, cloud, financial-technology and business-performance solutions.

Why the history matters

TOTVS is important in the regional technology landscape because it built software around Brazilian and Latin American business requirements rather than relying solely on imported enterprise platforms.
