Enhancing Global Trade: Postgres and EDB Drive Efficiency at the London Stock Exchange

The world has changed more in the last decade than it had in the previous century, and nowhere is this more evident than in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) industry. See how today’s top BFSI firms, including Regions Bank, Murex, BMO, ACI Worldwide, and Zucchini, are navigating increasing regulatory demands, customer expectations and costs and doing more with their data by building their future on EDB Postgres AI.

BPS is accelerating app development with open source Postgres, cloud-native architecture, and EDB support. As Head of Infrastructure at Banca Popolare di Sondrio (BPS), Piergiorgio Spagnolatti (PJ) has observed a steady growth in adoption of Postgres over 25 years, with a noticeable rapid increase in the last five years. "I've tried to find where the limit with Postgres is," PJ says, "and from a systems management standpoint, I don't see any specific boundary or constraint for our deployments. From a functionality perspective, Postgres continues to evolve. So I really don't see the end to its potential."

With a mission to modernize the data architecture for Belgian government agencies, Smals needed an open source alternative to their legacy commercial vendor that would allow them to innovate without constraint. Automation and high availability were critical requirements. Postgres was the ideal solution, providing the resiliency they need and the freedom to construct their own data ecosystem based on open source technology.
