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.
“The Couchbase installation was infinitely easier for our developers to get up and running. It required almost no operational overhead.”
