Why teams switch

Why mid-market teams move from CI&T to Luby

  • The budget doesn't fit an enterprise program

    Mid-market roadmaps rarely justify a $1M+ annual contract. Teams move to Luby for the same Brazilian talent pool at published rates.

  • Procurement time is roadmap time

    Every week in an enterprise procurement cycle is a week the roadmap stands still. With Luby, pre-vetted engineers are ready in 7 days.

  • Terms that flex with the roadmap

    Mid-market plans change from quarter to quarter. Luby squads run on flexible terms, so capacity can grow or shrink without renegotiating an enterprise contract.

Honest take

When CI&T is the right fit

For large enterprise programs built around platforms like Salesforce and Workday that need public-company governance, CI&T fits. For mid-market pace with the same Brazilian talent pool, Luby is built for that.
