The Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply of the State of São Paulo (SAA-SP) plays a key role in promoting the sustainable production of food, fibers, and bioenergy in Brazil.
SAA-SP manages critical systems like Rural Environmental Registry and GEDAVE and needed to modernize for efficiency and data security.
Challenges with the on-premises system included difficulties in updating, performing backups, and maintaining high availability.
SAA-SP chose to migrate its SQL Server database to Cloud SQL for SQL Server on Google Cloud for modernization.
Benefits of the migration included simplified updates, automated backups, enhanced security, scalability, and reduced IT costs.
The move to Cloud SQL enabled SAA-SP to focus on innovation, integrate AI for analysis, and make data-driven decisions.
Future plans for SAA-SP include migrating to microservices, utilizing generative AI for data analysis, and managing data with Gemini.
The migration to Cloud SQL has positioned SAA-SP as a leader in technology and innovation in the agricultural sector.
Cloud SQL for SQL Server offers enhanced application performance, continuity, and cost efficiency for organizations like SAA-SP.
SAA-SP's advancements in technology and data analytics are driving the development of agribusiness in São Paulo and beyond.
