This is a mission critical platform supporting $40+B of Cisco’s business. In order to tap into the agility of the cloud and improve the customer experience Cisco migrated to MongoDB.

MongoDB powers one of Phreesia’s most important applications – the eligibility application – that covers the gamut of the ‘run-up appointment’ process and allows patients to proactively pre-register, manage copayments, and ensure all their personal contact, medical history, and insurance information is accurate, up to date, and secure. Phreesia manages intake for over 50 million patients annually and has checked in more than 15% of the U.S. population.

Data driven business: HSBC




A digital revolution is happening at HSBC. As one of the world's largest banking and financial services organizations, the company is building global digital solutions that will help millions of customers worldwide to manage their personal and business finances. The drive for digital innovation comes as part of a series of strategic actions set out by HSBC’s board to adopt technology that makes HSBC simpler, better and faster. An example of that is how two HSBC trading IT teams are migrating away from relational databases to MongoDB as a technology to help simplify, migrate and manage complex data change. This technology shift is happening in tandem with a philosophical shift to an agile development and devops culture, enabled in part by MongoDB’s flexibility and scalability.

Modern Enterprise Architecture: IHS Markit


IHS Markit (Nasdaq:INFO), whose customers include 85% of the Fortune Global 500, is a world leader in information, analytics and solutions for the major industries and markets that drive economies worldwide.

The service is powered by a complex infrastructure originally built on a relational database. However, growing data volumes and new requirements mandated a faster and more scalable solution. To solve that challenge and get new applications to market quickly, IHS Markit migrated its Data Delivery Service to MongoDB. The results have been impressive, with some financial data being delivered as much as 250x faster than it was previously.

Barclays is solving one of the trickiest challenges facing any enterprise: a true 360 degree view of the customer with a platform that gives all support staff a complete single-view of every interaction a customer has had with the bank – including branch interactions, telephone banking, fraud detection alerts, outbound transactions, and more. This is helping Barclays drive customer interactions to new digital channels and improve the customer experience.
