Personal Experience at PG Conf NYC 2025 — and How DMAP AI Stands Out
An Interview with Satish Goel, COO, Newt Global
At PG Conf NYC 2025, the PostgreSQL community came together to explore the future of open-source innovation, AI-driven data management, and modernization at scale. We spoke with Satish Goel, Chief Operating Officer at Newt Global, to discuss his takeaways from the event and how DMAP AI is helping enterprises modernize with intelligence and precision.
Q1. What do you think events like PG Conf bring to the broader PostgreSQL and data ecosystem?
Satish Goel:
PG Conf is more than just a gathering — it’s where the PostgreSQL community brings innovation to life. From open-source contributors to enterprise users, it’s a space for exchanging real-world insights that shape the future of data modernization.
These conversations drive collaboration, performance advancements, and innovation across the ecosystem — and we’re proud to help move that dialogue forward. Events like this create a direct link between community-driven progress and enterprise adoption, which is essential for continuous innovation.
Q2. There are many AI-driven data management tools today — what makes DMAP AI stand out from the crowd?
Satish Goel:
DMAP AI is purpose-built for enterprise-scale modernization. It’s not just another automation platform — it’s an intelligent system that learns, adapts, and optimizes migrations in real time.
Our deep PostgreSQL integration and context-aware automation ensure migrations are fast, precise, and reliable. DMAP AI combines intelligence with engineering depth, which makes it a true differentiator in the modernization landscape.
It’s designed for enterprises that want to go beyond automation and embrace true AI-driven transformation.
Q3. Can you share a real-world example or success story where DMAP AI made a tangible difference?
Satish Goel:
Certainly. One of our Fortune 500 clients used DMAP AI to reduce their cloud migration timeline by over 60%.
The platform automated schema conversion, validation, and performance optimization — turning what used to take months into weeks. Beyond time savings, the client gained valuable visibility into data dependencies and long-term optimization opportunities.
That’s the true power of intelligent automation — it doesn’t just make processes faster, it makes them smarter and more transparent.
Q4. How is DMAP AI aligning with trends in AI-driven automation and data migration for 2025 and beyond?
Satish Goel:
We’re evolving DMAP AI with adaptive learning models and predictive analytics. The next generation of data modernization will be proactive, not reactive — identifying challenges before they occur and optimizing migrations continuously.
Our goal is to make transformation not just faster, but strategically intelligent — enabling enterprises to modernize with confidence and foresight.
This aligns perfectly with the broader shift in the industry toward self-optimizing, autonomous data systems that evolve with business needs.
Q5. As COO of Newt Global, what is your vision for the company’s role in the evolving data and AI landscape?
Satish Goel:
At Newt Global, our vision is to be the bridge between innovation and enterprise impact. We’re focused on making modernization seamless — combining AI, automation, and deep domain expertise to help organizations unlock the full potential of their data.
Beyond technology, our goal is to build trust through transformation — enabling clients to move faster, innovate smarter, and lead confidently in the AI-driven era.
We see modernization not just as a technical exercise, but as a strategic enabler for sustainable growth and innovation.
