Hi, Regina Obe,

Thank you.

Some enterprises/organisations are implementing Azure, and get data at one
place.

My gut feeling is that a lot of these components on Azure may not be able
to offer what PostgreSQL/PostGIS can offer.  I am trying to see how best
PostgreSQL/PostGIS can play an important role on the Azure and interplay
and interoperate with other components.

Obviously, many organisations have a wide range of types of data.  I would
like to see that PostgreSQL/PostGIS can play an important role on the Azure.

We must have some strong and factual points in hand to persuade others.  It
is along this line that I am thinking.

Regards,

Shao
