This session, which brought together EDB’s CTO for North America Public Sector Jeremy Wilson and FEC Technical Lead Laura Beaufort was entitled “Unlocking Data Freedom: How Open Source Contributes to Mission Success.” Over the course of 30 minutes, Jackson interviewed his panelists on a number of topics. These included their personal experience with open source databases and the ways they believe government agencies can take advantage of this technology to embrace modern IT strategies—including hybrid cloud adoption and migrating away from legacy databases.
