Case Study: Global Financial Services Company achieves dramatically lower DBMS costs and faster innovation with EnterpriseDB

How a global financial services company used PostgreSQL to reduce DBMS TCO and gain flexibility

A global financial technology, trading, and information services provider that supports securities transactions worldwide needed to cut core IT infrastructure costs, speed product innovation to meet customer needs, and strengthen its competitive position. The company had adopted Linux and community PostgreSQL to save costs but required more enterprise-grade features and commercial support to scale and secure mission‑critical applications.

The company standardized on EDB Postgres Enterprise, using its Oracle compatibility to migrate applications without rewrites and its subscription licensing to flexibly deploy on‑premises or in the cloud. As a result, it achieved dramatically reduced DBMS TCO and lower operating costs, simpler operations and easier DBA management, ACID-compliant support for structured and unstructured data, and greater flexibility to lower customer prices or increase margins while bringing new products to market faster.
