In 1980, Itautec established its first online presence as GRI Gerenciador de Redes Itautec, known as the "Itautec Network Services Provider," along with Banktec mainframes. The following year, in 1981, the central agency of Itaú was founded, featuring an automation system developed by Itautec. By 1982, the Bank of Brazil had implemented GRI and Banktec systems.

Itautec introduced the PC/XT microcomputer in 1985, entering the personal computing market. In 1986, Itautec installed its first compact Automated teller machine(ATM). In 1989, Itautec introduced GRIP (Gerenciamento de Redes Itautec para PC), a network management system designed for PCs.

In 1990, Itautec released its first Notebook computer, the IS 386 Note. In 1994, the company launched a second-generation ATM in Brazil, followed by the introduction of the first version of Banktec Multicanal in Banco Itaú Argentina in 1995.

By 2001, Itautec began exporting ATMs to the United States and Europe. In 2002, the company acquired technology from NMD for DelaRue and installed the first WEB system in Banco Itaú Buen Ayre.
