Cemtec, it's the IT branch of Cementos Mexicanos, the biggest concrete
company in México.
It handles the data processing of several other companies too.

I'm here as a consultant, my main company is Kernel, much less known than
Cemtec.
Maybe because I'm outsource I have more restrictions, but it's hard to work
this way.
Surprisingly, things get done :-)
