On the road to innovation, businesses have reached a crossroads- continue with traditional enterprise database solutions or migrate to the open-source SQL database of choice, Postgres. Both offer benefits to database developers and architects, but why are we seeing a transition to Open Source, from traditional SQL database players like Oracle?

Whether it’s the significant cost-saving of licensing fees, the ability to quickly move to the Cloud or utilising the plethora of Postgres skills now available in the marketplace, businesses are making the change and catalysing business transformation faster than ever before.

Join Prolifics’ CTO, Greg Hodgkinson, EDB’s VP of Global Sales Engineering, Jerry Hemenway and Prolifics UK’s Director for Information Management and Analytics, Stewart Hodges for an open, free-flowing conversation on databases, exploring some of the key benefits of going open-source, what it offers data teams and the potential challenges and solutions involved in migrating to a new database.

Key Talking Points:

  • Why has the database landscape changed so quickly and what’s driving the change?
  • Open-Source databases? Isn’t that risky?
  • Who is EDB helping to drive innovation, and in what ways?
  • Why are database migrations stalling so often and how do you migrate faster, with less risk?
