This month we lead with the Universidad de los Andes( Uandes), a prestigious Chilean higher education institution recognised for academic excellence and innovation, and the successful migration of its IT workloads to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure( OCI) with Kyndryl.

This strategic transformation marks a significant milestone in the university’ s ongoing digital evolution, enabling greater scalability, improved system responsiveness and enhanced service reliability. The migration also supports cost optimisation while strengthening the delivery of digital services across education and healthcare environments.

María del Carmen Clemente, Director of Information Services and Technology, Uandes, tells us on p14 how the migration to OCI has given greater independence, scalability and operational efficiency – positioning the university for future modernisation initiatives.

On p24 we profile Somos Internet – the Colombian infrastructure company set to triple its footprint in Colombia and launch in Mexico City delivering abundant fibre connectivity to power AI adoption across the region.

Somos has raised US $ 40m in Series B funding to build AI-ready digital infrastructure for Latin America.

The funding marks a significant milestone for Somos as it lays the groundwork for widespread AI adoption in one of the world’ s most dynamic emerging markets.

Liberty Costa Rica has achieved a 99 % reduction in SMS spam within weeks of deploying Enea’ s Adaptive Messaging Firewall, improving compliance and subscriber experience.

Like other operators in the region, Liberty saw an increase in complaints about spam messages and signs that Liberty’ s network was used to send spam to US networks, incurring additional costs.

With regulators across the region taking a tougher stance on messaging abuse, the company turned to Enea – which, as we outline on p35, provided exactly what Liberty needed.

In Talking Point on p18, Adriano Patrão, CEO, Lucent Minds, makes the case for mandatory justification of investment as the appetite for AI continues.

Just a sample, then, of what’ s inside – enjoy the read.

Have an innovative month. Make stuff happen. www. intelligentcio. com
