About Nielsen

Nielsen’s Answers on Demand (AOD) service delivers consumer data and analytics to businesses in over 100 countries. In order to track and report sales of fast-moving consumer goods, Nielsen needed a backend solution that could store user-generated data while providing extremely fast response times and low latency. Using Couchbase as a document store, Nielsen was able to sidestep many limitations of their Oracle database, simplify system management, and boost response time by 50%.
