AI Accelerates Enterprise Cloud Adoption in Brazil

Key Terms

genai technical

Generative AI (genai) is a type of artificial intelligence designed to create new content, such as text, images, or music, that resembles human-produced work. It matters to investors because it has the potential to transform industries by automating tasks, enhancing creativity, and enabling new products and services, which can influence company performance and market opportunities.

multicloud technical

Multicloud is the practice of a company using cloud computing services from two or more different providers instead of relying on just one, like keeping money in several banks so you can use each bank’s strengths. For investors, it matters because it can lower operational risk, improve reliability and flexibility, and affect costs and growth prospects — all of which influence a company’s profitability and competitive position.

apis technical

APIs are sets of rules that let different software systems talk to each other, like standardized doorways that let apps, data services and websites exchange information without needing to be rebuilt each time. For investors, APIs matter because they speed product development, enable digital partnerships and data feeds, create new revenue or cost savings, and introduce operational or security dependencies that can affect growth and risk.

microservices technical

Microservices are a way of designing software systems as a collection of small, independent parts that work together to perform a larger function. Each part handles a specific task, making the system more flexible and easier to update or fix. For investors, understanding microservices can reveal how a company's technology is structured, potentially impacting its agility, efficiency, and ability to innovate.

edge computing technical

Edge computing is a technology that processes data close to where it is generated, such as sensors or devices, rather than sending it all to a distant central location. This allows for faster decision-making and reduces delays, much like having a local office handle urgent matters instead of waiting for instructions from a main headquarters. For investors, it signifies improved efficiency and real-time insights, which can enhance the performance of technology-dependent industries.

serverless architectures technical

Serverless architectures are a way of building and running software where a cloud provider automatically handles the underlying servers, scaling and maintenance so developers only deploy code and pay for actual usage. Like booking a taxi instead of owning a car, this reduces upfront infrastructure costs, speeds product updates, and shifts operational risk to the provider—factors that can affect a company’s margins, capital needs and pace of innovation, which matter to investors.

sap s/4hana technical

An enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform that combines core business functions—such as finance, supply chain, sales and manufacturing—into one software system and processes data much faster than older systems by using a modern, memory-based database. Investors care because adopting or upgrading to this platform can change a company’s costs, speed of operations and ability to scale, affect recurring software or cloud spending, and influence competitiveness and future revenue growth.

Companies expand use of GenAI in multicloud environments to improve productivity, control costs, modernize applications, ISG Provider Lens^® report says

SÃO PAULO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Brazilian enterprises are rapidly expanding their use of cloud platforms as they integrate generative AI into operations, delivering higher productivity, revenue and operational efficiency, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens^® Multi Public Cloud Services report for Brazil finds that GenAI adoption is increasing enterprise cloud consumption in multiple industries, reinforcing the role of public cloud platforms as infrastructure for data-intensive workloads and advanced analytics. Enterprises report that their AI deployments are no longer experimental but embedded into business operations to improve customer experience, workforce productivity and product development. These activities are driving sustained cloud expansion while elevating financial governance, application modernization and operational resilience as strategic priorities.

“Brazilian enterprises are moving decisively from AI exploration to enterprise-scale execution,” said Anay Nawathe, ISG cloud delivery lead for the Americas. “Organizations seek measurable results from AI outcomes through modernization that aligns technology investments with business performance. With this effort, disciplined cloud management is becoming a higher priority.”

Real-world results from scaling up GenAI adoption are leading organizations to treat AI investment as a strategic imperative, the report says. Enterprises apply GenAI to customer service automation, knowledge management and analysis of unstructured data, among other functions, enabling faster decision-making and more responsive operations. Industries quickly embracing AI include financial services, healthcare, legal services and manufacturing.

Growing GenAI workloads are increasing cloud spending at many Brazilian organizations, raising the importance of cost governance, ISG says. Brazilian organizations are integrating FinOps practices to balance innovation with financial discipline as cloud consumption expands. FinOps assessments typically reduce cloud spend by 25 percent to 30 percent. Cost-cutting efforts initially focus on license optimization and less resource waste, followed by architectural changes.

GenAI is helping Brazilian enterprises modernize applications faster and with less risk, the report says. Organizations are decoupling legacy applications and integrating APIs and microservices with cloud-native services, gaining more flexibility as a result. Multicloud strategies are expanding as enterprises prioritize resilience and overcoming vendor dependency while continuing large-scale migrations to public cloud platforms. Edge computing and serverless architectures are gaining traction to support low-latency analytics and scalable workloads.

“Enterprises in Brazil are modernizing their cloud implementations with a focus on financial control and operational resilience,” said Pedro L. Bicudo Maschio, lead author of the report. “Cloud service providers play a critical role in supporting GenAI adoption, application modernization and effective FinOps practices at enterprise scale.”

The report also explores other trends shaping the Brazilian cloud market, including the growing urgency of SAP S/4HANA migrations and increasing attention to sustainability within hyperscale infrastructure strategies.
