In Argentina, FAN was created by Pablo Iacub y Leonardo Mayo and was originally used in the '90s for multiple software implementation projects within the country. FAN was first formally recognized in 2005 at the IRMA congress in the U.S. In 2014, it was presented at FELTI and received the LatinaTEC award. Currently, FAN is used in various universities throughout Latin America to enable students to understand and describe the mechanics of administrative circuits of different types of organizations.
