Interview with Accenture

Any views or opinions represented or expressed in this interview belong solely to the interviewee and do not necessarily represent those of the PGConf.DE 2025 organization, PostgreSQL Europe, or the wider PostgreSQL community, unless explicitly stated.

In which areas do you expect PostgreSQL to grow most and how does your company contribute to and benefit from that growth?

Under all the cool features and the extensibility of PostgreSQL, it's very easy to forget that first and foremost, PostgreSQL is a rock-solid general purpose RDBMS. PostgreSQL is a great choice to either start projects with, or to migrate existing applications to; and you can run it wherever and however you want, on-prem or cloud, hardware or virtual. The Free Software model gives you no surprise restrictions and no surprise license costs. We see a lot of potential in PostgreSQL, both for cost savings and more independence from single vendors in your IT operations.

What is your company's mission?

At Accenture, we use our wide range of capabilities, ecosystem partnerships and unmatched industry expertise to help our customers' business become the next best version of itself. We support our customers' projects from IT and Cloud transformations, over digital engineering and smart manufacturing processes, to visual effects for award-winning TV series and movie productions.

What makes you want to attend the PGConf.DE conference?

The conferences are great opportunities to connect with the PostgreSQL community. This is where we meet people from our customers and partners, and our friends and colleagues. We can exchange ideas and jokes and have a generally good time. During the conferences, we pick up the news and trends and latest developments from the PostgreSQL world. And most importantly: there's always something new to learn, both in the presentations and in the hallway track.
