ISG says Brazil firms adopt governed agentic AI to speed application development and management
III•ISG analysis says Brazilian companies are embedding agentic AI across application development and management under local governance rules, with automation savings redirected to application modernization rather than headcount growth.
1. Governance and adoption
ISG analysis finds Brazilian companies embedding agentic AI across application development and management. Approval gates, audit trails, output logging and token-level FinOps controls govern most enterprise AI use, while firms are standardizing secure CI/CD, internal developer platforms and unified observability.
2. Contracts and investment
Automation savings are being redirected to application modernization, not headcount growth, as inflation pressures ease versus 2024-2025. Many buyers retain hours-based contracts, while some test outcome metrics such as cycle-time service levels.
