Industry Findings: Connectivity and latency economics have become the decisive factor for Colombian buyers choosing platform stacks; enterprises are now more likely to favour PaaS options that can be reached by private, high-bandwidth links and low-latency on-ramps rather than purely public endpoints. That preference raises the value of providers who invest in local interconnection and direct-connect capacity because it materially lowers operational risk for fintechs, media platforms and logistics players operating at scale.
Industry Progression: The single verified event changing supply-side dynamics was AWS expanding Direct Connect capacity at Bogota (announced in Sep-2025), adding 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps dedicated connections and MACsec support at the Equinix BG1 site; this upgrade immediately improved the feasibility of running latency-sensitive PaaS workloads locally by giving enterprises secure, private network paths to global AWS Regions and Local Zones.
Industry Player Insights: The ecosystem includes many companies in Colombia; a few among them are Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Corporation, and Claro Colombia etc. This vendor blend matters because AWS’s network expansion and Google/Microsoft region tooling reduce the technical and compliance frictions for Colombian CIOs, while local carriers such as Claro Colombia and systems integrators translate that connectivity into packaged PaaS onboarding, which accelerates enterprise migrations away from bespoke datacentre stacks toward managed runtimes.
