How Skyone helped Soter Engenharia build a robust and secure technological operation

60 years of excellence in the real estate market

A global legacy with roots in Brazil

Founded in 1967 in Niterói, Soter Engenharia is a leader in the high-end construction and real estate development segment. Recognized for its commitment to punctuality and quality, Soter has never missed a delivery and stands out in the market for its elegant standards and exclusive customer service. In 2022, the construction company consolidated its success by earning the GPTW (Great Place to Work) seal, reaffirming its commitment to excellence in all aspects of the business.

The challenge of migrating to the cloud

Despite its market recognition, Soter faced significant technological challenges with its on-premise infrastructure. The data processing center, installed in a makeshift space, dealt with problems such as backup failures, physical risks, and a lack of capacity to support the growth of the operation.

“We even used a backup solution that, at the critical moment, turned out to be corrupted. This made us realize the seriousness of the risks we were running. We needed a robust, secure, and predictable solution,” recalls Liliane, IT manager at Soter.

With the decision to migrate to the cloud, Soter sought partners such as Google and Amazon, but it was Skyone that presented the most complete solution, combining technological robustness with budget predictability.

The transformation with Skyone

The migration to Skyone Autosky, Skyone's cloud computing category, marked a turning point for Soter. The change, carried out between 2019 and 2020, ensured not only operational stability but also brought strategic benefits to the company:

• Financial predictability : The solution allowed Soter to plan its monthly expenses with clarity and confidence.
• Operational efficiency : With all the infrastructure in the cloud, the IT team was reduced, focusing on strategic projects while Skyone managed backups and servers.
• Enhanced security : Incidents such as attempted intrusions were quickly resolved with snapshots and recovery in less than an hour, ensuring continuous availability.

“Today, we don’t need a robust IT team to take care of the infrastructure. Skyone is our right-hand partner, ensuring security and operational stability,” Liliane points out.

A success story with immediate impact

The partnership between Soter and Skyone exceeded expectations, especially during the pandemic, when cloud infrastructure proved essential for maintaining uninterrupted operations. Furthermore, the migration of servers to Brazil, proposed by Skyone, reduced latency by 90%, significantly improving system performance.

“Skyone’s proactive approach in identifying problems and suggesting solutions, such as migrating to Oracle in Brazil, was essential. The result was a faster, more efficient environment with a direct impact on productivity,” explains Liliane.

Looking to the future

Soter Engenharia continues to invest in innovation and technology, always with a planned and strategic approach. "We are attentive to the market and seek solutions that truly bring improvements to our daily lives. Everything we implement is designed to generate a positive impact," concludes Liliane.
