R/GA is a global design and innovation consultancy that developed a connected workspace platform to improve productivity, collaboration, and engagement for employees. The platform collects data from various sources and integrates with other systems. It uses MongoDB due to its flexibility to handle different data types, fine-grained access controls, and ability to scale. Managing MongoDB infrastructure was challenging, so R/GA plans to move to MongoDB Atlas for simplified management and enhanced features.
