Ese mundo, por ejemplo, de mainframes, donde todos los bancos del mundo, y particularmente en México, los primeros 10 bancos Without a doubt, it runs in the IBM mainframe world, our storage products and other lines of servers a little smaller. So the range is very wide and goes from everything that is software, going through cloud, to infrastructure products.

Well, I'll start with the first one, the hybrid cloud issue. When we started talking about this a few years ago, it sounded weird. It was like a hybrid cloud. It's either a cloud or it's not a cloud. How can it be a hybrid? And the truth is that all this had a story. You have clients in which a very strong investment had already been made in everything that was infrastructure.

All their core systems, all their important systems that allow them to operate, worked on products that they could touch and that were in their own data centers. how it was that you were going to go totally to the cloud, you were going to go to that extreme.

We started working with those clients to tell them that the intermediate path was possible, that you could move towards the cloud and that you could perfectly use all the investments you had made and keep yourself in a hybrid world that basically has your private clouds, public clouds and also what you have as infrastructure already purchased in your company.

That process in Mexico is a process that is quite advanced. I would tell you that all corporate clients today, medium-sized companies upwards, have seven or eight clouds that they use at the same time, every day. Users do not even know that they are using it. It can be very simple applications such as productivity tools or it can be the use, for example, of the banking core.

And you don't even know exactly how you can see all of that in a single interface. But what's behind it is extremely complex. How to manage that complexity? We dedicate ourselves to that. And for that, a few years ago, we bought Red Hat, a very respected company. It was very big at that time in the world. I bought IBM for $36 billion.

Everyone said, but how do you make such a big investment in a company that is said to be open source? It was like, it can't be, what are you doing? But Red Hat and its OpenShift platform, today it is the base, it is the gold standard in the market for everything that has to do with Uber.

So we are very proud of that and we have been a fundamental part of that development process in Mexico and other countries in the world.

Well, artificial intelligence, the first part of all this, which has been around for several years, more than a decade, I would tell you that an important percentage of Mexican medium-sized companies have already done something with artificial intelligence. Around 70% have touched something that has to do with artificial intelligence. The big question is...

¿Cuánto de la nueva ola de inteligencia artificial, la generativa, realmente has hecho algo con eso? El porcentaje ahí baja radicalmente. Ahí alrededor del 37%, según los últimos estudios que hemos visto, está haciendo algo.
