Guest post by stackArmor Customer App47 Last year, the App47 team was faced with a daunting task unlike any we’d come across before: meeting the compliance needs of a Fortune 500 company in the highly regulated healthcare industry. We needed to do it quickly, too. We were in the process of navigating a large bid for a project, and our ability to move forwarded depended on meeting the complex security and compliance needs of this company.

It has been observed that nearly 80% of this unstructured data is being stored in the JSON format. Considering the complexity of analysing documents, Tableau and MongoDB have partnered to make it easy for companies to visually analyse rich JSON like data structures directly in MongoDB. The connector created by MongoDB creates a relational view of JSON data. Then, it either converts a SQL statement to a MongoDB aggregation pipeline query or a straight find operation based on the query. This white paper provides an overview of how Tableau and NoSQL database MongoDB can work together using the MongoDB BI connector. Tableau and MongoDB Tableau is a market leading data visualization software and enterprise BI software for organizations of all
