MongoDB partnership

FreeSoft has become a partner for MongoDB reported as the leading NoSQL database, with significant adoption among the Fortune 500 and Global 500.

We have also found that MongoDB might also be a good choice for storing legacy data migrated from pre-relational systems where it offers valuable compatibility with legacy type data access methods.
