10gen Establishes Financial Services Advisory Group

New NoSQL Initiative to Foster the Exchange of Ideas and Establish Direct Line of Communication Between Financial Services Leaders and the Developers Behind MongoDB

(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 06/19/13 -- , the MongoDB company, today announced the formation of the MongoDB Financial Services Advisory Group, a collaborative body composed of representatives from the financial services sector. Ten leading global institutions are represented as charter members, including Barclays, Goldman Sachs and MetLife.

The Advisory Group will meet semi-annually to discuss common use cases and identify strategic growth opportunities for NoSQL within the financial services industry and beyond.

"We're seeing an acceptance of NoSQL as the first real challenger to the relational model in decades. Financial Services organizations are looking to NoSQL because it can often be a better fit for how applications are written, scaled and managed today," said Max Schireson, CEO of 10gen. "It is a privilege to work with these organizations and create a deeper connection between industry and technology to guide MongoDB development and ensure user success."

The inaugural meeting of the Advisory Group will be held on June 19 at Goldman Sachs' New York City headquarters. Participation is by invitation only.

"We are pleased to be hosting the first Advisory Group meeting and support 10gen's efforts to bring technology professionals together to discuss the enterprise opportunities and challenges faced by the financial services community today, and to work toward more optimal NoSQL solutions within our organizations," said Warren Finnerty, managing director in the Technology Division and head of the Global Database team at Goldman Sachs.
