Recent benchmark studies by Everest Group and McKnight Consulting Group reveal that EDB Postgres AI significantly reduces development complexity by 67% and total cost of ownership (TCO) by 50% compared to traditional DIY solutions. Over 90% of major global enterprises plan to establish their own sovereign AI and data platforms within three years, yet only 13% are currently implementing agentic and generative AI. These early adopters achieve twice the volume of AI output and fivefold economic benefits by focusing on sovereignty in their AI infrastructures.
EDB Postgres AI is noted for eliminating complexity, offering a fully integrated platform for modern AI workloads, and enabling faster development and lower costs. It is reported to be three times faster to production, 51% lower in total cost, and simpler to manage at scale. Key highlights from the benchmark study include:
- 67% lower development effort and 38% lower maintenance complexity compared to DIY cloud approaches.
- 40%-43% fewer build steps required in typical in-house builds.
- More than 90% fewer steps in the development stage, leading to significant productivity gains.
- Over 55% lower total complexity compared to in-house data and AI management solutions.
- EDB Postgres AI enables delivery of AI-enabled applications three times faster than DIY cloud solutions, reducing time to production from 28 weeks to 9.
- 65% faster time-to-value, compressing a year-long build into weeks.
- Up to 51% lower TCO over three years due to reduced infrastructure, licensing, and personnel costs.
