SUMMARY:XChange MSP
DESCRIPTION:THE CHIEF NETWORKING EVENT FOR UK \nPROVIDERS  OF MANAGED SERVICES \nThursday 19 October 2023 \, The May Fair Hotel Stratton Street\, Mayfair\, London\, W1J 8LT \nMSPs had a paramount 2021 and 2022 with significant M&A deals impacting the channel and its partners in a considerable way.

SUMMARY:We need to talk about open source
DESCRIPTION:If your company is involved in developing software\, then you’re aware of the importance of open-source code. Developers love it! Legal departments fear it! Questions around compliance\, governance\, and the commercial implications of open source are ubiquitous and multi-faceted. \nEnter the era of generative AI\, and open models are competing with proprietary heavyweights. But which will win out in the long term? And does unfettered access to such technologies help\, or hinder\, the drive towards improved safety and equity? \nWe’re ready to open up on open source at our next Codiphy event. \nThis time\, we’ll be focusing on the commercial aspects of using and offering open-source software\, and on the intersection between open source and AI. \nClick the Register button to join us at EIP’s London office for two panel sessions with top voices in the industry. We’ll end the evening with good food\, good company\, and an open (source) cocktail bar.

SUMMARY:Flexible Document Storage with Postgres
DESCRIPTION:Postgres has always had strong support for relational storage. However\, there are many cases where relational storage is either inefficient or overly restrictive. Postgres is a flexible relational database\, designed to be extensible from its inception. One aspect of this extensibility is document storage. \nPostgres has many features designed to manage document data effortlessly\, including full text search\, JSON\, trigrams\, and specialized indexing methods to allow efficient data access. This talk will cover all of these features. \nAgenda:\n✅ Why non-relational storage?\n✅ XML: Storing and working with XML documents in Postgres.\n✅ JSON: Native support for storing\, querying\, and manipulating JSON data in Postgres.\n✅ JSONB: Taking JSON handling to the next level with binary JSON in Postgres.\n✅ Character strings: Managing and optimizing document text data.\n✅ Document-optimized indexing: Leveraging specialized indexing methods like trigrams\, GIN\, and GiST for efficient searching and retrieval. \nThis webinar will cover a new topic (from Bruce Momjian) exclusively for our subscribers. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge of Postgres and discover its powerful capabilities for document management ? \n❗ Also\, webinar recording will only be available for registered users\, so be sure to register – it takes less than a minute.
