Nuance - Creating personalized communication experiences for customers

Whenever you receive a personalized text, email, or phone call such as a flight update or fraud alert, those automated communications are likely powered by Nuance. As their service expanded, Nuance’s applications became more complex, data volume increased, and their Oracle-powered system became too cumbersome and expensive to manage and scale. Nuance decided to switch to a NoSQL database for greater agility and scalability, and they chose Couchbase for its easy manageability and cross datacenter replication.

About Nuance

Challenges

    • Monolithic Oracle environment was expensive to scale and too inflexible for varied data types
    • Cassandra and MongoDB were hard to manage and lacked key features
    • Needed to operate in at least two separate datacenters and have disaster recovery capabilities between them

Outcomes

    • Multi-dimensional scaling delivers easy, cost-effective growth on commodity hardware
    • Cross datacenter replication provides simple bidirectional replication for better DR
    • Hadoop integration allows analysis of unstructured data
    • Flexible schema enables agile response to changing data needs
The Couchbase installation was infinitely easier for our developers to get up and running. It required almost no operational overhead.
