Systems integrator Sky.One is investing to double the customer base of its Integra.Sky platform in Latin America and in the US in 2023, Robson Del Fiol, the Brazilian company's growth manager, told BNamericas.

“Sky.One currently has more than 2,000 customers in over 16 countries, most of these countries in Latin America, in Brazil, Panama and Chile, for example. Specifically using the integration platform, we have customers in the US, Colombia and Panama, in addition to Brazil,” said Del Fiol.

The platform supports companies the integration of different management systems. Sky.One recently completed a milestone integration project involving Salesforce's CRM and SAP's ERP for Panasonic in Brazil. In 2018, Panasonic had already migrated part of its SAP systems to the AWS cloud through Sky.One.

Sky.One carried out similar integration projects with Panama's Jump Digital, in addition to the companies Kestraa, Axion and Tunesoft, among others. The focus of the platform is mid-sized and large companies, according to the executive.
