7、lobal marketplace,most organizations in Latin America are transforming their businesses to keep pace.In fact,eight in 10 respondents from the region reported active projects toward digital transformation.This vast majority,which compares with nine in 10 globally,is just slightly fewer than in 2021,b
8、ut the types of projects have shifted toward increasing sophistication.Specifically,digital transformation generally proceeds through three phases:1.Task or process automation2.Digital expansion,including scaling the business with technology3.AI-assisted businessOrganizations frequently work in more
9、 than one phase at once,automating in some areas even as they pursue AI assistance in others.In 2022,the percentage of respondents in Latin America who indicated they were automating processes shrank from 31%in 2021.The trend for global respondents was just the opposite,moving from 25%in Phase 1 for
10、 2021 to 33%in 2022.On the other hand,the share of Latin American respondents working in Phase 2,digital expansion,jumped from 58%in 2021(a rate slightly higher than the global average that year)to 68%,or more than two-thirds.Meanwhile,the share of respondents working in Phase 3,AI-assisted business

12、 of competing cloud providers may be one explanation.Latin American companies may also feel more constrained by the staffing and skill levels needed to manage multiple clouds and multiple providers tools.Such constraints underscore the value of application security and delivery technologies and othe
13、r tools that work across environments and architectures.Another explanation may be related to whom the organization serves.Digital innovators typically provide applications and digital services not only for interactions with their own employees but also with customers,patients,partners,suppliers,stu
14、dents,and other constituents.Theyre also more likely to have multi-cloud strategies.In fact,globally 80%of digital innovators report the use of multiple cloud providers,compared to only 36%among those who dont provide digital services outside their own organizations.Since nearly one in five(18%)of L
15、atin American respondents said they only provided digital services for employees,multi-cloud deployment becomes less necessary in the region.Compare that 18%whose digital services are limited to employees with 8%in North America and only 4%in Europe,the Middle East,and Africa.APPLICATION MODERNIZATI
16、ON CONTINUES in Latin America for nearly nine in 10 organizations.Most use multiple methods of modernization,including the addition of APIs and modern app components.Interestingly,organizations in Latin America are slightly less likely to use the top global methods and slightly more likely to refact
17、or,modifying the application code itself.This somewhat greater tendency to refactor is probably a function of the types of architectures involved,the available skillsets,or both.For instance,organizations with a substantial number of client/server applications might find refactoring a more efficient
18、 solution than others,particularly if the skills to maintain those older applications arent available.Meeting a variety of multi-cloud challengesOrganizations in Latin America value multi-cloud flexibility even more than most.Yet fewer than two-thirds of Latin American organizations(58%)currently ha
19、ve apps deployed in multiple clouds.That compares with 70%of global respondents.Modernization MethodsWe asked:What methods are you using to modernize applications?Select all that apply.We learned:Organizations in Latin America are more likely to refactor than their global counterparts.Latin AmericaG

21、atin America EditionAmong Latin American organizations that do deploy apps in multiple clouds,slightly more report challenges than do global respondents.Nearly half(46%)cite performance optimization and combating application sprawl,for instance.Despite these challenges,Latin American organizations w
22、ere less likely to repatriate applications to on-premises data centers than their global counterparts.Only 48%either had already repatriated apps or planned to do so in 2022,compared to 77%globally.This may reflect not only the difficulty of migration but relatively weaker regional interest in site
23、reliability engineering(SRE)practices.SRE practices can enable management of on-premises apps with the flexibility and efficiency typically associated with the cloud.More than 90%of respondents in North America and EMEA have already adopted SRE practices or plan to soon;the figure for Latin America
24、is 68%.Without such nimble management approaches,repatriation often doesnt make sense.F5 InsightRegardless of the method used to modernize them,app portfolios in Latin America,like elsewhere,are increasingly weighted toward modern and mobile apps.And with deployment to multiple clouds limited,hybrid

29、n Strategy Report:Latin America EditionIN 2021,LATIN AMERICAN survey respondents expressed slightly higher confidence in their ability to protect their apps than global respondents did.This confidence seems to be reflected again in 2022 survey findings.For instance,organizations in the region ranked
30、 incident troubleshooting as their most valuable use of insights about application health,performance,and security.Notification of attack ranked second.Meanwhile,global respondents reversed those rankings and prioritized attack notification.Similarly,the vast majority(83%)of Latin American organizat
31、ions planning to deploy at the edge reported that digital experience workloads were their top priority,with improving application performance as the top business outcome.Security workloads ranked a close second.This prioritization was reversed globally.One influencing factor in Latin America may be
32、the availability of edge and SaaS providers compared with more established content delivery network(CDN)services,which traditionally focus on performance.Latin American respondents seemed notably more comfortable than others with their current balance between security and performance.The regions res

37、ents to rank in second place overall;this year,it fell to third for the region,while global organizations didnt even rank it in their top five.Why the cooling on AIOps?Reality may have set in.In 2021,respondents in Latin America had big plans,with 61%reporting they were already using or planning to
38、use AI or machine learning to protect apps by the end of that year.This year,only 20%said they were currently doing so.The challenges of implementation on a production scale are probably becoming more apparent.Specifically,98%of organizations around the world are lacking insights they need,and those
39、 in Latin America said data about possible attack was the type they most needed.Nearly everyone is also missing critical skills,including those for vendor-specific automation that could help power AI.Finally,the mild retreat of interest in AIOps means that IT teams struggling with manual operations

45、rt:Latin America EditionAbout the reportThe Latin American results presented here are based on the responses of 117 IT decision makers working in Latin America for a broad range of industries.Technology,distribution and retail,and education were particularly well represented,which correlates with th
46、e strong focus on the digital experience reported in the regions results.Where Latin American results are compared with those globally,the latter are based on responses from more than 1,400 decisionmakers around the world and across industries.Respondents from Latin American organizations were sligh
47、tly more likely to provide digital services to other businesses(53%)than to consumers(48%),unlike global respondents,the plurality of whom served consumers.Regional organizations were also more likely to provide digital services to government agencies (29%)than were global respondents.The demand for
48、 fast,safe,digital experiences is global,and consumers,employees,and business partners in Latin America are no exception.Organizations in the region are generally aligned with those elsewhere,busily transforming manual interactions into digital applications,and global competition ensures that curren
49、t rates of change are unlikely to slow.Digital businesses in Latin America are particularly focused on security and improving their users experiences,and theyre as ready to implement AI and ML as those anywhere elsebut in practice,thats not very ready.To achieve related plans,theyll need to prioriti
50、ze technologies that will securely deliver their apps,no matter the environment or architectures involved,while enabling both telemetry and real-time automation to more quickly respond to shifting pressures and market demands.TechnologyDistribution,retail,and servicesEducationFinancial servicesGover
