Use Cases and Deployment Scope

PostGre SQL is the relational data source for our Tableau Data. It holds data ETL-ed from MQ Listener via SSIS. This application houses all the patient and long term care facility details in a normalized relation data model. Tableau connects to Postgres and joins/massages the data to produce business consumable reports.

Pros

Edit data after View
Instantaneous access and update for Tableau extracts hooked to this data source
Simple syntax for DDL

Likelihood to Recommend

Postgre SQL is well suited well in a POC and quick turn around time development activities. It is not suited to hold a dimensional data model in star or snowflake schema.

Return on Investment

The Data layer for Tableau is being met and reports can be produced quickly at a summarized level

Alternatives Considered

Oracle: Ideally suited for a large enterprise. Expensive product.
MS Access: Scalable for medium to small businesses
DB2: Needs expertise to implement in an organization

Other Software Used

Atlassian Confluence, Tableau Desktop, Tableau Public

Users and Roles

DDL/DML
Joins on Tableau VizQL for Data Visualization

Support Headcount Required

Build And Integration team takes care of the Data Server

Business Processes Supported

Data Layer for Analytics

Future Planned Uses

Expand the Data Repository to other Verticals within the company

Likelihood to Renew

As a needed software for day to day development activities

Key Differentiators

Price
Product Usability
Third-party Reviews

Product usability in the space of an Open Source-based Enterprise DB
The price point for an Open-Source product is minimal, where the cost incurred is for developers working with the tool

Evaluation Lessons Learned

We would want to continue using PostgreSQL for the sheer completeness of the product as to how it meets project and enterprise needs.

Implementation Details / Implementation Partner

Implemented in-house

Implementation Phases

Change Management Lessons

Change management was minimal

Since our organization is a privately owned product company in EHR long term health care, we started out with defined goals and milestones. We had a vision of leveraging open-source products from the get go. PostgreSQL was a natural choice to house analytics data in this DB.

Implementation Issues

There was some in-house learning curve that had to be met and
in-house training of debelopers

Implementation Rating

The online documentation of the PostgreSQL product is elaborate and takes users step by step.

Training Types Used

Online training
Self-taught

Online Training

The online training is request based. Had there been recorded videos available online for potential users to benefit from, I could have rated it higher. The online documentation however is very helpful. The online documentation PDF is downloadable and allows users to pace their own learning. With examples and code snippets, the documentation is great starting point.

Ease of PostgreSQL Training

Yes, I would strongly recommend to teams looking for an open-source EDB solution. Yes, this product is easy to learn for folks who have basic idea of PL/SQL. Yes, this product can be learned by non-technical folks with the help of product documentation and online help artifacts. With examples and code snippets, the online documentation is a great starting point.
