1. MongoDB is well-suited for reference data solutions due to its dynamic and flexible schema, built-in replication and high availability features, and tag aware sharding which allows for geographic distribution of data.
2. A case study of a global broker dealer showed how MongoDB could replace expensive and complex ETL processes for distributing reference data, saving over $40 million over 5 years.
3. Key benefits included real-time data distribution, faster querying of local data, and avoiding regulatory penalties from delays in data distribution.
