Rapid economic growth and favourable business conditions are allowing Brazilian enterprises to spend more on expanding their businesses. This is apparent from Kable's survey which indicates a vast majority of respondents expecting to increase their ICT budgets in 2013, in comparison to 2012.
The security market in Brazil is driven by multiple factors such as growing regulatory compliance and an increasing incidence of cyber and malware attacks.
Brazilian enterprises are prioritizing investments in SCM, PLM, and CLM, as on an average 55% of respondents plan to invest in these areas in the next two years.
The need to manage and archive ever-increasing volumes of corporate data in a consistent and compliant manner is driving the demand for enterprise content management (ECM) solutions.
There is an increase in adoption of virtualization solutions amongst Brazilian enterprises, in order to reduce overall IT costs and increase scalability of their ICT infrastructures.

Brazilian CIOs and IT managers are focusing much of their efforts towards improving security and standardising their IT infrastructure across departments, with respondents rating them X and X on a scale of 1 to 4.
The need for enterprises to keep their mobile workforces connected to corporate networks in order to improve efficiency and ensure smooth running of day-to-day operations is forcing companies in Brazil to invest in mobility solutions.
The demand for communications and collaboration solutions is increasing amongst Brazilian enterprises of all sizes, since they help in reducing travel time and costs and improve productivity.
According to Kable's survey, 85% of enterprises in Brazil are currently using business intelligence tools, and an impressive 82% are planning further investments in the next two years.
