Sowneo - Who are we?

Sowneo is the managed services and development arm of the communication agency Sowebio.
 
All French websites of Sowebio are hosted in France, on servers spread across three data centers, with other servers in a data center in Germany for the countries in the east.
 
These hosting servers were designed by Sowneo to offer maximum performance, because display speed is an important factor in SEO. Our average display time is 270 ms (milliseconds) per page. Barely more than a quarter of a second.
 
These performances have been recognized by our clients. Our services, initially reserved for Sowebio’s internal productions, were then made available to them. We subsequently expanded our offerings with new Cloud exit and managed services.
 
Then, we commercialized our software development activities, which we used internally for managing our server clusters and for the overall automation of the production of Sowebio’s websites.

Cost Reduction & Quality Improvement

Sowneo’s approach is client-focused and our philosophy is Cost Reduction and Quality Increase.

Indeed, you will effectively reduce your costs (a reduction we can quantify) and we will increase the quality of your information system (speed, reliability, security).

Cost reduction and quality increase work together in a virtuous circle. Only a quality information system, in its architecture and its implementation, can enable a true reduction in costs.

Application & Embedded Development

Sowneo develops software for the web or for Linux servers, Linux workstations, Windows or Mac, but also applications for Android or iPhone. Sowneo develops a technology allowing you to create, in one go and with a single code base, an application available on Linux, Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone, in order to reduce costs (a single development instead of three) and increase quality (a single common code base instead of three different source codes to maintain). Our design office, led by a DPE engineer in electronics from EENSEIRB, also designs any electronic product or embedded system, from definition to the initial study and from prototyping through to production.

Delegation - Audit - Consulting - Training

Sowneo can also second senior contributors in the fields of auditing, consulting, training, course plan writing, technical writing, manual writing, translation, as well as the safeguarding of technological heritage.
