Project led by Skyone to support more than 30 stores and 300 users, promoting a more stable environment and access, as well as better performance, even facilitating connection via 4G
São Paulo, October 2021 – Rede Asun de Supermercados , one of the main retailers in Rio Grande do Sul, migrated its ERP to the cloud with the help of Skyone in the development of technological platforms for software management. “The project, which involves supporting more than 30 Network stores and 300 users, was made possible through the Skyone Autosky , which, in this specific project, uses a database with Oracle Exadata Database Machine. The results are already noticeable and include a more stable environment and access, as well as better performance, even facilitating connection via 4G.
According to the Technology Area Manager of the Asun de Supermercados Network, Antônio Martins, before the migration, the retail chain had an on-premise model, in which the entire database and server area, for example, was allocated for the IT team, which took care of the entire process of monitoring the server and the data center environment.
Furthermore, the Network needed to upgrade its Oracle license, and therefore understood that it was the ideal time to migrate to the cloud. “We had a workload that involved server constancy and the entire warranty contract part. We understood that we needed to migrate to the cloud. In this way, we count on Skyone's expertise to help us meet all our new needs”, he states.
Fast, hassle-free deployment
DBMaster, one of the main companies providing database management solutions in Brazil, and a partner of Skyone, contributed to the development of the project, as it helped with the management and structuring of the Network's database. Furthermore, it ensured compliance with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), according to DBMaster's Chief Technology Officer, Igor Silva. “This journey has given Asun access to Oracle database features and is helping a lot in processes related to governance, process optimization and tuning. In this last topic, we achieved excellent results with the use of features and also the possibility of adjustments to the Database layer regarding LGPD”, he explains.
Skyone's Cloud Specialist for Retail, Paulo Rebello, highlights that the entire project was designed thinking about the benefits of migrating to the cloud in the long term. “We created a migration project for all structures, starting mainly with the ERP. Therefore, we migrated the ERP using Skyone Autosky which, in the design of this project, uses Oracle Database services through Oracle Enterprise with Exadata. Now, there are a number of “roadmaps” for implementing Oracle Enterprise solutions,” he explains.
Implementation took around 45 days. According to Rebello, before starting the process, the Skyone team carried out a connectivity test, which was decisive for validating the environment. Today, all areas of the Asun Network make use of the Skyone Autosky solution, including purchasing, store operation, finance and distribution center, to update and use these environments. “Our objective was to enable a migration with quick access, easy adoption, greater speed of the environment and little impact on users, thus providing a cost reduction in the short, medium and long term”, he explains.
Agility, performance and security in the cloud
For Martins, the migration to the cloud took a load off the IT area. “Business-oriented IT is different from problem-solving IT. This is a cultural issue, but when we take this range of servers and databases to Skyone, we automatically free up the dedication of technical hours for this on-premise management, ensuring more space for the team to plan the next steps to be taken. attacked. Furthermore, the project significantly optimized my own demand with contracts, as I no longer need to rely on disk and hardware suppliers”, he highlights.
Martins also comments that, in relation to security and LGPD, having a protected environment, hosted in a data center, with data encryption and having a specialized team like Skyone, responsible for all monitoring and backups, guarantees more security and tranquility. The unavailability that occurred before was also a critical issue resolved after the migration. “The problems have been resolved. Currently, we are more focused on projects, as we now have robust ERP and infrastructure. The idea now is to seek partners and invest in innovation to differentiate ourselves from the norm”, he concludes.
