Case Study: Major U.S. Testing & Assessment Company expands, boosts revenue and cuts database costs 80% with EnterpriseDB's EDB Postgres

Student Testing Company Expands and Increases Revenue with EDB Postgres

A major U.S. testing and assessment company serving schools and government agencies needed to cut database costs, reduce dependence on traditional vendors, and meet corporate requirements for enterprise‑class security, performance and SLAs. Their subsidiary’s open source Postgres offered cost and flexibility but lacked the scalability and vendor support required, and the company wanted a solution that Oracle‑trained staff could adopt quickly.

They migrated to the EDB Postgres Platform using the EDB Postgres Advanced Server, gaining PL/SQL compatibility, enterprise features, and fast deployment with minimal training. The move delivered roughly 80% savings versus traditional licenses, enabled rapid new development, helped win multiple student‑testing contracts, and supported large-scale workloads (nearly 100,000 concurrent users and peaks up to 20,000 TPS) with strong performance and lower CPU utilization.
