One great approach is to use data visualizations. In this session, Tom Hollander, Product Manager for MongoDB Charts, will take a complex dataset and show how the breadth of capabilities in MongoDB Charts can help you turn bits and bytes into insights.

Sharing it with the World
Charts lets you share dashboards with others
This is best suited for collaboration within your team/company
To share more broadly you can use embedding
Two authentication models:
• Unauthenticated for non-sensitive data
• Verified Signature for sensitive data

Takeaways
• Data is multiplying, and making sense of it is more important than ever
• MongoDB Charts is a great tool to help you answer recurring and ad-hoc
questions
• Compose your charts onto dashboards or share via embedding
• Adam Sandler’s movies engage users online, but should you whether
you should watch them, is questionable…
