From Batch to Real-Time Award: AT&T

”

To build its next-generation AI-based fraud-detection platform, AT&T quickly discovered that relational technology would not be able to scale and support their application’s needs and requirements. Given their desire for a flexible data model, AT&T turned to MongoDB Atlas, which has decreased their time to market and improved their query response times. As part of an overall modernization effort to enhance an already robust AI environment, MongoDB Atlas will improve performance and further AT&T’s efforts for real-time fraud detection. MongoDB Atlas is also being extended to include the AT&T Feature Store for data modeling.

Front Line Heroes Award: Sogei

”

Sogei is an in-house company of the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finances, spearheading public sector digital transformation in Italy. Impressed by the flexibility and performance of MongoDB’s data platform technology, they leveraged MongoDB’s document model to develop and bring to market Italy's official COVID-19 vaccination passport app — in less than 45 days. The "Green Pass" project has generated over 230 million digital certificates to date, helping Italians easily provide vaccination requirements for cultural and sporting events, long-distance travel, nightlife, and indoor dining during the pandemic.

Going Global Award: Auth0
