2ndQuadrant

Open Source together with Cloud Computing and BYOD are all current game changers which deliver massive benefits
The scale of the change can be compared to the one from mainframe to client server. However the drivers are not just technology introduction but also the influenced by the global financial situation.
Open Source even 10 years ago was not considered for business critical applications, however in recent years the technical capability has been advanced to the point where, not only can they be considered equal to commercial offerings, but often provide technical innovations that can deliver a substantial edge.
From a pure cost basis Open Source products make a compelling commercial proposition and Government initiatives to capitalise on these benefits, especially in the current financial climate, are proof that today Open Source must be considered as part of any strategy or for individual applications.

PostgreSQL is the leading Open Source database and 2ndQuadrant are global leaders in helping projects of considerable complexity; size and criticality deliver real benefits by using it.
