ISG says Brazilian firms adopt Microsoft AI, step up governance amid regulatory shifts

Legacy modernization is accelerating as companies prepare to run two tax regimes, updating ERP systems, modernizing Azure and consolidating applications.

IT spending is shifting toward resilience, measurable outcomes and shorter performance-based contracts, with rising emphasis on data sovereignty in cloud decisions.

ISG evaluated 51 providers across five Microsoft services segments, naming multiple leaders across Azure managed services, AI services and productivity platforms.

ISG says Brazilian enterprises are making Microsoft AI a top technology priority, pairing deployments with data governance layers to scale automation.

Regulatory change, tax reform, cybersecurity threats drive demand for secure, scalable AI architectures, tighter data control and stronger cloud operations.
