Accelerating Public Sector Software Modernization with Postgres Support
August 8, 2023
11:00 am ET
The Federal Data Strategy and local initiatives are driving software modernization, and organizations are seeing tremendous benefits to using Postgres in this effort. However, self-supporting Postgres or even using a Systems Integrator (SI) for support can be risky and time consuming. With the fiscal year end rapidly approaching, you’re faced with the opportunity to reduce risk and accelerate your modernization efforts for the new year.
Join our expert panel including Rick Miller, Wisdom Consulting, Government Open Source Expert at Carahsoft, Marc Linster, Chief Technology Officer at EDB and Jamie Watt, SVP Technical Support at EDB and learn:
- Why Postgres support is so crucial in driving your software modernization initiatives.
- The advantages and limitations of third-party supported Postgres, including expertise, scalability, resource allocation and perceived cost.
- Strategies for choosing the right approach based on your organization's needs, such as workload, growth, applications, resources and government support requirements.
- How to take advantage of the multiple ways to get Postgres support, including on Carahsoft GSA.
Register for the webinar to gain a better understanding of the best course for your Postgres estate in the coming year.
