AI and Automation Returns $Millions
in Value at MongoDB
MongoDB, a global leader in NoSQL databases, recognized the transformative potential of AI and automation for optimizing its internal operations. Serving thousands of customers in over 100 countries, MongoDB’s mission is to empower organizations to innovate and disrupt industries. To further this goal, the company embraced AI-driven automation to streamline workflows, reduce manual tasks, and significantly enhance operational efficiency.
Challenges
Despite its advanced technology, MongoDB faced inefficiencies in sales, finance, HR, and IT due to:
- Over-reliance on manual, repetitive tasks across teams
- High error rates and delays due to spreadsheet-based data analysis
- Difficulty in integrating SaaS systems
Approach
To address these issues, MongoDB launched its Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Center of Excellence (CoE) and adopted the UiPath Business Automation Platform™ with Lydonia’s support.
- Automation transformed Sales Operations, streamlining compensation tracking, data integration, and reporting.
- The success led to broader adoption, improving IT data handling, financial accuracy, and HR talent management.
“We have numerous opportunities to scale the business by harnessing the power of AI and RPA together. We can integrate AI into our toolkit and enhance the use of UiPath Document Understanding. We’ve already begun exploring the potential. I’d like to say thank you to the Lydonia team for always keeping us honest and helping us continually build on our success.”
Results
The AI and automation initiatives delivered impressive outcomes:
- 100,000+ hours saved annually
- $7 million in cost savings over three and a half years
- 7.5 times faster document processing speeds
Automation saved hundreds of hours in Sales, with further benefits expected as the company continues expanding automation across departments.
