Wharton Research Data Services Leverages Postgres and EDB Expertise
You’re Already Running Postgres. Here’s Proof It Scales to the Most Demanding Institutions in the World. Wharton Research Data Services provides data access to Harvard, MIT, the University of Chicago, the Federal Reserve Bank, and the SEC — meaning their Postgres environment has zero room for compromise on reliability or control. This customer story details why WRDS chose to move away from closed-source databases specifically because they wanted total control over their data and users, rather than a vendor dictating how their data could be governed. When WRDS hit a time-sensitive, mission-critical issue, EDB brought in Bruce Momjian — a co-founder of the PostgreSQL Global Development Group himself — to help resolve it directly. That’s a level of access to core Postgres expertise most enterprise support contracts simply can’t offer. This story is built for a Postgres-adopting account that wants proof the platform holds up under extreme institutional demands, and reassurance that when something goes seriously wrong, EDB can bring genuine Postgres-community-level expertise to the table, not just a standard support tier.
