This white paper explores how building an operational data layer (ODL) using MongoDB provides a strategic pathway for telcos to modernize their infrastructures from legacy systems.
An ODL is an architectural paradigm that centrally integrates and organizes siloed enterprise data, making it readily available to consuming applications. It acts as an intermediary between existing data sources and the applications that need to access that data, providing a unified, consistent, and real-time view of enterprise data across various domains.
By implementing an ODL using MongoDB, telcos can transition from rigid, costly systems to a flexible, scalable platform that supports current and future needs, effectively modernizing their infrastructure.
Key benefits include:
- Enabling a unified data layer that provides seamless data access
- Facilitating event-driven architectures that react to real-time changes
- Supporting AI-powered customer service
- Monitoring network performance in real time
- Enhancing security and legal compliance
The ODL approach fosters rapid innovation and builds a future-proof foundation to position telecom providers for long-term success.
