Case Study: Verizon Wireless achieves faster time-to-market and a unified customer view with MongoDB

How And Why Verizon Wireless Chose MongoDB

Verizon Wireless, a large-scale carrier with over 100 million customers and roughly $70 billion in revenue, needed to modernize how it handled diverse, fast-changing data to achieve a single customer view, improve asset utilization, and shorten time-to-market. Relational systems struggled with social feeds, machine-generated logs and other new data types, so the company faced cultural and operational trepidation about adopting disruptive technologies at enterprise scale.

Verizon began with targeted proofs of concept, augmenting existing teams and validating MongoDB’s flexible document model, clustering, backup/recovery and operational behavior under simulated failures. The result: MongoDB proved production-ready for specific use cases, accelerating development of social- and log-driven applications, improving the customer experience, and positioning the company to expand MongoDB use alongside Hadoop for larger-scale analytics.
