Case Study: Manulife Accelerates Digital Insurance Innovation with MongoDB

Manulife launches offline sales app in 2 months with MongoDB

Manulife, a leading global insurer, faced challenges with a traditional relational database infrastructure that was slowing down innovation and limiting the development of new digital products and services. To achieve faster time-to-market and build better customer experiences, they sought a more flexible data solution and turned to MongoDB's NoSQL platform, specifically utilizing MongoDB Atlas and Atlas Device Sync.

By implementing MongoDB, Manulife deployed several key applications, including a health app and a sales assistance app with offline capabilities, and made MongoDB the system of record for policy management. The solution provided a flexible document model, seamless cloud migration, and built-in data synchronization. The results included accelerated development cycles, a successful two-month launch of an offline mode for sales agents, and overwhelming preference for MongoDB from developers who had the choice. MongoDB enabled Manulife to modernize its data layer as part of its digital transformation.
