Port Authority of Kribi Accelerates Digital Transformation with PostgreSQL
Specialized training in Spain marks a decisive step in modernizing and upskilling PAK teams
From August 18 to 22, 2025, the Port Authority of Kribi (PAK) participated in an intensive training program on PostgreSQL database administration and management in Valencia, Spain. This key step supports the migration of the port’s systems from Oracle to PostgreSQL and strengthens the teams’ skills for autonomous and efficient management of the digital infrastructure.
Specialized Training at the Heart of Port Digitalization
During their stay in Valencia, the PAK technical and IT representatives underwent intensive PostgreSQL administration and management training delivered by Arumel, Prodevelop’s technical training partner. The aim was to equip PAK teams with the skills needed to independently manage the new digital environments.
From Oracle to PostgreSQL: A Strategic Choice
The ongoing migration to PostgreSQL is part of a broader strategy to modernize and optimize the port’s digital infrastructure. As an open-source database management system, PostgreSQL offers numerous advantages:
-
Flexibility
-
Enhanced security
-
Cost reduction
-
Sustainable scalability
However, its adoption requires upskilling to ensure optimal use in support of port digitalization.
Strengthening International Collaboration
Beyond the training, this mission accelerated coordination on ongoing projects and identified new avenues for future collaboration. Face-to-face exchanges facilitated the resolution of technical questions, harmonization of practices, and strengthened the relationship between Prodevelop and the Port Authority of Kribi.
This initiative highlights PAK’s commitment to digital transformation, team development, and international cooperation in building a modern and resilient port infrastructure.
