In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, modernizing a company's data architecture can unlock immense potential for growth and efficiency. Servihabitat, a leader in portfolio management for corporate, mortgage, and real estate assets, understood this well and embarked on an ambitious data modernization journey. With the help of SEIDOR and the adoption of Snowflake Cloud, Servihabitat has transformed its operations, achieving remarkable results.
Servihabitat: A Data-Driven Company
Servihabitat manages financial and real estate assets for major institutions, including investment funds and banks. In 2022 alone, the company managed over 165,000 assets valued at more than 20 billion euros, selling over 27,000 units. With more than 4,404 points of sale nationwide, over 1,000 associated agents, and 10 proprietary centers, the scale of their operations is enormous.
Servihabitat’s business model requires constant decision-making based on vast amounts of data, making it essential for the company to leverage cutting-edge technology to remain competitive.
As a 100% data-driven company, Servihabitat realized that its previous on-premise SQL platform wasn’t up to the challenge. With performance issues, high maintenance costs, and limited scalability, it was clear that they needed a more efficient and scalable solution. That’s when SEIDOR introduced them to Snowflake Cloud.
The Need for Modernization
Servihabitat’s reliance on data was central to their decision to modernize. Their existing infrastructure was handling a massive volume of data, with around 1,000 tables in the corporate data warehouse and over 3,000 analytical processes connected to this data. They needed to migrate not only the databases but also the linked analytics processes to ensure seamless operations.
Why Snowflake?
The implementation of Snowflake allowed Servihabitat to perform end-to-end tracking of their assets, which is crucial for improving the speed and agility of their large-scale commercial operations. Snowflake’s cloud-based architecture operates on a pay-per-use basis, offering the flexibility needed to scale operations based on demand while keeping costs down.
Once Snowflake was up and running, the company saw infrastructure costs reduced by 75%, a significant milestone that underscored the value of moving to the cloud.
In addition, Snowflake’s cloud architecture eliminated the need for 24x7 maintenance teams. Previously, a dedicated team had to monitor workloads and databases around the clock. With Snowflake, all of this is managed automatically, simplifying operations and improving efficiency.
The Migration Process
Servihabitat’s migration to Snowflake was carried out in two phases. In the first phase, the company migrated their database, corporate data warehouse, and data loading and modeling processes. In the second phase, they focused on migrating business processes.
The project required a fast-track migration due to the vast amount of data and complex analytics processes involved. Servihabitat relied heavily on SEIDOR’s expertise throughout the migration.
The SEIDOR team also demonstrated flexibility, adapting quickly to changes in business requirements or unforeseen issues during the project’s implementation. This agility ensured that the migration was not only successful but also seamless for Servihabitat’s ongoing operations.
“SEIDOR’s experience was essential for our success. They not only brought technical expertise but also a deep understanding of our business processes. This allowed us to adapt the migration to fit our unique needs, even as those needs evolved during the project.” ”
Measurable Success: Benefits of Snowflake
The results of Servihabitat’s modernization efforts have been impressive. Beyond reducing infrastructure costs by 75%. The new platform has dramatically improved response times for analytics processes and increased the overall efficiency of data retrieval.
In addition to immediate cost savings, Snowflake opens up new possibilities for the future. Servihabitat can now adopt other cloud-based technologies, further modernizing its technical infrastructure and enhancing its ability to compete in a dynamic market.
“ With the implementation of the new technological environment designed and implemented by SEIDOR, we have reached a new level in terms of data analytics, allowing the business to make decisions quickly throughout the asset’s commercialization chain, enabling industrialized management and control.” ”
Paving the Way for Future Innovation
Servihabitat’s successful modernization of its data architecture with Snowflake and SEIDOR’s support is a powerful example of how embracing new technology can unlock significant operational and financial benefits. The move to Snowflake has not only reduced costs and simplified processes but also positioned Servihabitat for future growth and technological innovation.
For any company looking to enhance scalability, improve performance, and become more agile in today’s data-driven world, Servihabitat’s journey offers a clear blueprint for success. By investing in the right tools and partnerships, the possibilities for growth and innovation are endless.
