Room: Berlin 1

Our client, a leading IT service provider in the financial sector, specializing in providing state-of-the-art digital solutions for banks and financial institutions, was facing several critical challenges that required a strategic overhaul of its database infrastructure. The introduction of an open source database as a standard part of the infrastructure was recognized as an important part of the strategy. This initiative was driven by the need to reduce costs, minimize vendor dependency and improve the procurement position against existing database vendors.
This presentation will use the example of Finanz Informatik to discuss the particular challenges faced when implementing PostgreSQL in critical and highly regulated organizations. It will be shown how these challenges can be mastered with the help of pure open source software and which technical options fulfill the requirements in such an environment.
