The advent of 5G is driving a significant shift in the mobile user experience, with real-time business, streaming, and gaming applications becoming essential for telecommunications companies' enterprise growth. However, supporting these applications on a 5G network demands more from systems that support them, leading to complexity issues. To address this, operators are reevaluating their data strategy by recognizing the need for a developer-focused data platform to enable agility across the enterprise. This is in line with a new IDC white paper sponsored by MongoDB, which highlights the importance of effective data management in taming the 5G network complexity beast. The paper emphasizes the need for building business solutions at the network edge and leveraging modern platforms to address data challenges. It also notes that selecting the right database is a strategic decision that directly impacts developer productivity, application performance, and ultimately an organization's attractiveness to customers.
