With a long-standing presence in Brazil dating back to 1931 when IBM opened its first office outside of the US in the city of Sao Paulo, IBM today has a working relationship with thousands of customers across the country.

For example, earlier this year IBM signed a pivotal agreement with Brazil's EBX Group which develops and manages business activities in the mining, logistics, oil and gas, real estate, energy, renewable resources, and entertainment sectors. EBX Group has outsourced its IT operations to IBM and IBM has invested in SIX Automacao - one of EBX Group's subsidiary companies - and both are collaborating on research to create a Joint Industry Solutions Center.

IBM is also working with CPFL Energia Holdings - the largest privately owned energy provider in the country - to make its energy networks more efficient and resilient.

Brazil is also home to one the IBM Global Delivery Center in Hortolandia, and the company's ninth Research lab, opened in 2011 in Sao Paulo.
