Dataprev

The Empresa de Tecnologia e Informações da Previdência (English: Social Security Information and Technology Company), also known as Dataprev, is a Brazilian public company linked to the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI). It is responsible for managing the Brazilian social database, particularly that of the National Social Security Institute (INSS). It was created in 1974 under Law 6.125.

The company's central administration is located in the Federal District. On January 8, 2020, its structure was reduced, with about 500 jobs cut and 20 state branches closed. Only the three data processing centers in the cities of Brasília, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and the five software development units in the cities of Florianópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, João Pessoa and Natal remain.

History
In 1938, José Gomes de Pinho Neves installed the largest data processing equipment in Brazil at the Institute of Retirement and Pensions for Industrial Workers (IAPI) using punched cards to determine the granting and maintenance of benefits. On November 4, 1974, Law No. 6.125 created the Empresa de Processamento de Dados da Previdência Social, from the merger of the data processing centers of the social security institutes that had existed until 1964. Subsequently, its trade name was changed to Empresa de Tecnologia e Informações da Previdência Social, and modified again at the 14th Ordinary General Meeting (AGM) held on October 27, 2020, to Empresa de Tecnologia e Informações da Previdência.

In 1975, the contract between INPS and Burroughs Corporation was transferred to Dataprev, which began to manage the computer park installed in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. In 1989, Dataprev's first public tender was held, as required by the 1988 Constitution. In 1991, Prisma, the system responsible for the benefits functions at the Social Security Agencies (APS), was implemented in the Federal District. In 2006, the INSS 135 Call Center was launched, ending queues at the APSs. Software development units were created in João Pessoa (UDPB), Fortaleza (UDCE), Florianópolis (UDSC) and Rio de Janeiro (UDRJ). In 2011, the storage capacity of the processing centers reached 1 Petabyte.

In 2013, the data migration of the Federal Revenue Service and the Attorney General's Office of the National Treasury (PGFN) to a low platform was completed, involving ten large databases, 8.5 billion records, 12 large applications and the conversion of 3.4 million lines of code written in COBOL to Java. In January 2020, Serpro and Dataprev were included in the National Privatization Program (PND). However, the Public Prosecutor's Office issued a statement declaring that the privatization of Serpro contradicts the General Personal Data Protection Law (LGPD) and threatens national security, as its databases would be outsourced.
