What if you could reduce the time of a legacy migration by 90%? 🤔 Bendigo and Adelaide Bank did just that with MongoDB Atlas and migrated onto MongoDB Atlas at one-tenth of the cost of a traditional legacy-to-cloud migration. They automated routine tasks with Gen AI tools, freeing developers to innovate and deploy new features faster.

The utilisation of real-time data is becoming a crucial factor in enhancing business competitiveness. Virgin Australia stands out as a prime example, providing customers with a transparent view of their baggage's location throughout the entire travel process. By leveraging Databricks, Virgin Australia efficiently scales its operations, fosters seamless collaboration, and ultimately enriches the passenger experience. Such advancements undoubtedly influence decisions, like my preference to fly with them. #DataDrivenDecisions #EnhancedCustomerExperience
