OpenSourceDB, an ISO 27001:2013 company and focussed market partner for Enterprise Postgres from CYBERTEC, pgEgde, and Aiven for Postgres in India, and Ahana, an ISO 27001:2022 and specialist in technology modernization for financial institutions, today announced a strategic partnership aimed at helping banks nationwide leverage the power and security of PostgreSQL for their mission-critical systems.

The collaboration is designed to meet the growing demand from financial services institutions for open, flexible, and cost-effective database alternatives to legacy systems, as well as reduced dependency on proprietary software. By combining OpenSourceDB’s Postgres expertise and strong solutioning capabilities in Postgres with Ahana’s deep knowledge of regulatory compliance and banking technology implementation, the partnership offers a comprehensive solution for banks seeking to drive digital transformation with Open-Source technologies.

The joint initiative will focus on providing technology heads with end-to-end services, including adopting Open Source Postgres, migration strategy, data security audits, and continuous performance management for PostgreSQL environments. This enables CIOs, CTOs to confidently shift their core systems to non-proprietary Postgres that offers enhanced flexibility, sovereignty, scalability, reduced total cost of ownership, and is supported by world-class enterprise support from CYBERTEC, pgEgde, and Aiven for Postgres.
