SPR Sports
SPR SPORTS GROUP is a business group that operates in several areas, including brand management, licensing, product development and distribution channels, manufacturing, import, supplier development, and supplying retail channels.
In its licensing division, SPR provides integrated brand management, always focused on growth within the Brazilian market – seeking the best results for licensors. Furthermore, the company develops products specifically tailored to the Brazilian market.
The correct strategic positioning for each distribution channel is also part of SPR's work, from supporting the supply chain (own production and imports) to building relationships with Brazilian suppliers.
SPR SPORTS GROUP was looking for data security when it decided to opt for Skyone's solution. The company had experienced a ransomware attack within its previous cloud platform and faced many setbacks as a result.
At the time, the group used a local cloud service offered by the software house, where they had 2 servers. However, the system presented instabilities and generated numerous requests to the company's support team . And even though the ERP could be accessed online, the quality of service did not meet the demands of SPR SPORTS, as explained by Rafael Rodrigues, IT Manager at SPR:
Today we have a percentage of users working from home and another percentage working on-site, who access the Skyone Autosky via the web and are immediately directed to their ERP credentials, which makes things much easier. In other words, we can work comfortably from anywhere with internet access.
SPR Sports Challenges
The company's biggest challenge was the intermittent and unstable access of users to the SPR SPORTS platform , which caused slowness throughout the company's ERP system.
Because of this, the IT team also faced setbacks mainly related to the difficulty in resolving the company's support demands , which received numerous requests to resolve problems caused by the limitation and restriction of the company's access to a stable system.
The peak of this challenge occurred when the company's computers were affected by a ransomware attack, resulting in the loss of important data and causing major disruptions to management. Because of this, SPR SPORTS decided to contract the services of Skyone, a partner of Alterdata, its ERP solution provider.
Skyone Autosky Solution
SPR SPORTS already had a cloud platform, but instability and lack of data security led the company to seek a solution that better met its needs.
After learning about the safety features of Skyone Autosky, the company's managers and employees chose to contract with Skyone.
They also gained agility in their ERP systems, Bimer and ERP Pack, for their tax and accounting aspects, both Alterdata solutions, which function fully within the contracted solution. The company's technology department has access to the servers – in an isolated and secure environment – and can complete tests and publish updates whenever necessary. Backup routines have also become part of SPR's daily operations.
Furthermore, the company can rely on Skyone's team of experts, who trained, implemented, and assisted in the use of Skyone Autosky, passing on knowledge about the tool and the environment to the company's users. All of this generated a cultural reconfiguration among employees regarding their technological vision.
Results
In a time when cyberattacks are becoming increasingly frequent and the Brazilian economy is in decline, SPR SPORTS GROUP believes it needs to focus its efforts on new businesses, new strategies, and reinventing itself every day.
By adopting Skyone Autosky , the company was able to recover, overcoming a series of technical problems and focusing its efforts on business growth. According to them, the change generated the following benefits:
