Improve employee productivity in the field
Deliver a responsive experience for your employees in the field
Enabling employees in the field means arming them with responsive applications that work all the time, regardless of network availability. But that’s a hard problem to solve if you have to pull data from multiple sources into one platform and then mobilize that data, making it available to those employees both online and offline. Couchbase provides a single platform that can manage data collected from different sources and securely route that data to and from the edge, ensuring it is available both online and off.
GE field technicians rely on Couchbase to perform maintenance on machines, even in remote locations where network connectivity is never guaranteed.

Why Couchbase NoSQL for your field service solution
Flexibility: Integrate data from multiple sources
With Couchbase, eliminate database sprawl with one platform that is the single source of truth for managing and delivering data to the field – one platform where data is available to any line of business within your organization and every user outside. Couchbase’s flexible JSON storage coupled with N1QL, full-text search, real-time analytics, and eventing services allows you to easily integrate all your data sources. Plus, migrate from relational systems with Talend and ODBC/JDBC drivers, and move data to and from with Spark and Kafka connectors.

Scale: Easier, more affordable scalability
Couchbase’s network-centric architecture with a high-performance replication backbone allows the database to be easily extended while maintaining performance at scale. Capture and consolidate application data across all channels in real time to create a single view of your data. Easily add new features and microservices on top of a flexible and scalable data platform. Unlike relational databases like Oracle and MySQL, with Couchbase you can meet any demand and linearly scale easily and without disruption.

Performance: Better performance and higher availability than any other database
While other NoSQL databases like MongoDB™ require a third-party cache – adding to both cost and complexity – Couchbase has a fully integrated read-through and write-through caching layer. Couchbase’s memory- and network-centric architecture consistently delivers the sub-millisecond responsiveness that today’s users expect.

Availability: Built-in high availability and disaster recovery
Couchbase provides five-nines availability with built-in high availability and flexible cross datacenter replication (XDCR) capabilities that supports disaster recovery and data locality requirements to ensure your employee always has access to their data. Combined with a microservices architecture, each component of a larger application continues to do what it does best, regardless of failures or load elsewhere.
