This document discusses transforming a company's database management system (DBMS) to drive customer engagement innovation. It notes that keeping existing "IT lights on" is costly and limits new initiatives. Migrating applications off expensive, proprietary DBMS to open-source PostgreSQL can save 35-80% of a DBMS budget, providing funds to invest in customer-focused technologies. The document outlines assessing applications, prioritizing a staged migration, and using savings to develop new customer-facing applications and analytics to strengthen the brand.
