Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: Regional digital-governance and public-procurement frameworks are accelerating institutional demand for standardised cloud contracts and portability clauses across Latin America. The OECD’s Digital Government Review of Latin America and the Caribbean, published in Sep-2023, emphasised interoperable public services and repeatable procurement templates for research and education buyers; that recommendation pushed ministries and research agencies to adopt pre-approved contracting routes and to insist on clearer API interoperability and data-portability commitments from suppliers. The commercial consequence: vendors that publish standard compliance artefacts and modular integration roadmaps gain earlier access to government-funded pilots, while others face longer, more document-intensive procurement cycles. Solution architects now design modular data domains that separate regulated public datasets from aggregated analytics stacks, and procurement teams prioritise suppliers that can demonstrate framework-ready SLAs and exportable compliance passports; those capabilities materially shorten time to first deployment for large institutional programmes.

Industry Player Insights: Leading vendors and regional platforms active across Latin America include Globant, Rappi, Bitso, and AWS etc. As per our findings, two regional commercial moves reshaped buyer expectations. Globant announced a USD 1 billion regional investment in Aug-2023 focused on AI, talent hubs and platform engineering, which signalled to enterprise buyers that locally staffed transformation capacity is now commercially accessible and raised expectations for co-delivery models. Rappi accelerated its cross-border commerce and fintech roadmap in Sep-2024 as it prepared for an IPO, driving demand for integrated logistics, payments and merchant SaaS features across multiple markets; buyers reacted by shortlisting vendors that can demonstrate multi-country operational templates and partner-led deployment blueprints.
