For Release 9:45am PDT October 3rd, 2000 PostgreSQL, Inc. and BrowseX join Westcoast Interchange at Oracle OpenWorld What have open source PostgreSQL, the Tcl based browser BrowseX have in common with Westcoast Interchange, one of western Canada's leading Oracle Certified Solution Partners? That seems to have been the question on the minds of dozens of visitors at the Westcoast Interchange exhibit today, here in San Francisco at the Oracle OpenWorld show. PostgreSQL is fast becoming the standard solution for individuals and companies who want the performance of a full scale database, without the high costs of equipment and licensing that are associated with offers by Sybase, Informix, and others. Oracle remains the defacto standard for companies with the budget for advanced database applications and PostgreSQL nicely meets the needs for companies who are trying new things, or don't yet have the IT budgets to make a larger investment in architecture and systems. Westcoast Interchange is proud to be the first PostgreSQL, Inc. Partner that offers clients the best of both worlds, and the opportunity to move data between both platforms. Joining Westcoast Interchange as guests were PostgreSQL, Inc. CEO Geoff Davidson, President Marc Fournier, Director Thomas Lockhart, and global project member Vadim Mikheev of SectorBase. Visitors were introduced to the prototype of an open source CRM, PgPICK, co-developed by Westcoast Interchange, PostgreSQL, Inc., and Media Brokers International. Those developments have Westcoast Interchange actively seeking the best in new talent from programming capabilities to business partners. "The OpenWorld show is a target rich environment, with many of the best and brightest business and database companies here to participate", commented Mr. Doug Pelton, President of Westcoast Interchange. Also at the booth during the show is Peter MacDonald founder of BrowseX Systems Inc. Mr. MacDonald is demonstrating BrowseX, an exciting
open source web browser. The
beta version of BrowseX was released last week and
has already been receiving rave
reviews on the Linux and Tcl newsgroups. BrowseX is
designed to operate across most
systems including Unix, Windows and Macintosh.
This is the beginning of an extended offering for corporate clients and their customers. Complete turnkey solutions that take advantage of Westcoast Interchange's unique ability to get even the most burdensome projects off the ground by partnering with the leading contributors to these new technologies. WIE's theme for the show is Heavy Lifters, aptly chosen to promote both technical experience and the ability to connect the open source and commercial markets by forming strategic alliances before others even see the fit.
