Case Study: Foyer Assurances SA achieves faster digital transformation and app delivery with MongoDB

Foyer Assurances SA Moves from Relational Databases to MongoDB to Accelerate Digital Transformation

Foyer Group, a market-leading Luxembourg insurance and financial services company founded in 1922, found its digital transformation initiatives constrained by traditional relational databases. Rich web and mobile forms had to be flattened across many tables, requiring disruptive schema migrations, complex ORM layers and heavy coordination between developers, DBAs and operations, which slowed feature delivery and degraded agility.

Foyer migrated key applications to MongoDB, storing form data as native JSON, removing ORM complexity and enabling backend services to consume data directly; they also built a full‑stack mobile app with offline sync in weeks. Deployed on MongoDB replica sets with Enterprise Advanced, Ops Manager and production-readiness consulting, the move delivered faster innovation, significantly improved application performance, quicker time-to-market and a leaner ops model that enhances customer experience.
