See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Since years, the French Government pushes its IT departments to go for Open Source solutions, it now begins to be a mandatory requirements and it starts by databases.

This means that Maximo Customers from public sectors now ask Maximo to support an Open Source database like PostgreSQL.

Even existing customer will have soon to reconsiderate their choice for Maximo if no solutions are found.

Adding the support for such database to MAS could be a real advantage to convince them for a migration.

    This is important for your customer, especially for the public sector, to have support on a version of Maximo on open source databases. We have more and more requests in this direction.

    There is an important untapped business in public sector we will not be able to address without this support. Moreover there is a potential loss of revenue in renewals.
    The solution could also materialize in the form of a delagation of support to the system integrator. Let's be creative and find a way. The value of Maximo is not in commercial closed source DBs.

    Thank you for your submission. There are no plans in the next several releases to support opensource databases.
