Summary

Why iBE.net Chose MongoDB is a story of how the company overcame challenges with complex data structures in their Enterprise Resource Planning and Professional Services Automation (ERP/PSA) system. The company's co-founder, Richard Minney, turned to MongoDB to address this challenge as it helped him model his company’s complex data without thousands of SQL tables. iBE.net needed scalability, flexibility, and performance capabilities that MongoDB provided, including dynamic schema, query power, replication, and sharding. By adopting MongoDB, the company was able to reduce development effort, improve query response times, and lower costs. The flexible nature of MongoDB allowed developers to design their applications to serve business needs, connect individual employees and their data into a comprehensive picture, and expand as the company grew.
