Slowly there! I may not be very vocal but I'm here! Obsidian Systems is an Open Source focused company doing lots of Linux related support, training and a little bit of development. In Feb we'll be 10 years old. I've been using PostgreSQL since Postgres95 1.0 and I've made sure if any client looks at a database they know postgresql is an option. All our internal systems run on postgresql. We've had some contact with TSI, they're quite a large consulting house and was first exposed to OSS back in the late 90s when they bought one of our early clients. I've passed the link to one of our sales guys that is looking for some nice reference implementations for a client that is interested in getting a call centre running with a combination of postgresql and asterisk. (BTW, does anyone know of anything like that?) Anton

OK. Advocacy drill. We would be looking for a case study from TSI. Robert Bernier(I think spelling is correct) looks into case studies and can provide you the questions/templates. Typically these cover - the mission criticality of the system - postgresql specific advantages - competition postgresql sustained - System administration headaches/lack of headaches etc Basically how postgresql provides business value. Case studies are to make life simpler for decision makers. Wider application domain also are very helpful. I think this is first time I heard postgresql in QA/QC labs. and I suggest you get a za@postgresql.org address, if you don't have one already..:-) Shridhar
