MongoDB Atlas provides a fully managed connector for business intelligence that allows customers to use their automated cloud databases as data sources for popular SQL-based BI platforms, giving them faster time to insight on rich, multi-structured data. The new BI Connector for Atlas removes the need for additional middleware and custom ETL jobs, automating setup, authentication, availability, and ongoing management tasks. Customers can deploy the connector with the MongoDB ODBC Driver to connect to popular visualization and dashboarding tools like Excel, Tableau, and Power BI, minimizing performance impact on operational data stores by designating a secondary database as the analysis source. The connector utilizes MongoDB's aggregation pipeline to push more work to the database, delivering insights faster.
