Cloud, data, and artificial intelligence are driving the rise of the autonomous enterprise across Latin America, according to financial results announced following the third quarter of 2026. SAP América Latina reported strong momentum throughout the region, with Brazil standing out for its performance in the cloud.
Increasingly, leading organizations across the region are embracing comprehensive digital transformation models to evolve into agile, efficient and future-ready autonomous enterprises. This shift relies on integrating modern cloud architectures, advanced data management, and enterprise artificial intelligence.
“Nuestros resultados del tercer trimestre reflejan una clara prioridad en las organizaciones latinoamericanas: la necesidad de acelerar su evolución hacia la Empresa Autónoma,” said Adriana Aroulho, presidenta de SAP América Latina y el Caribe. “El verdadero valor de esta transformación radica en cómo nuestras soluciones de Datos e Inteligencia Artificial potencian la toma de decisiones estratégicas, siempre respaldadas por una base sólida y escalable, como lo es nuestro Cloud ERP a través de RISE with SAP y GROW with SAP.”

To realize the vision of the autonomous enterprise, Latin American organizations are reshaping how they handle information and incorporate intelligence into daily operations.
