The AI Imperative in Modern Business
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing enterprise operations, yet many organizations face a significant obstacle: legacy applications were not designed with AI integration in mind. Traditional systems prioritize transactional efficiency over intelligent decision-making, creating barriers to scaling AI initiatives. To address this, Capgemini and MongoDB have joined forces, empowering businesses to modernize infrastructure, unify data, and unlock the full potential of AI-driven applications.
Key Challenges Hindering AI Adoption
Data Fragmentation and Siloed Systems
One of the most persistent challenges is data fragmentation. Many organizations operate with siloed operational and analytical systems, making it difficult to consolidate data for AI-powered insights. A Workday Global survey highlights that 59% of C-suite executives report their organizations’ data is somewhat or completely siloed, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. Furthermore, modern AI workloads-such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, and recommendation engines-demand vector databases, which traditional architectures often cannot support.
Insufficient AI-Ready Data Infrastructure
The absence of a unified, AI-ready data infrastructure forces development teams to juggle multiple disconnected systems. This complexity requires manual data synchronization, cross-platform queries, and constant consistency checks between structured and unstructured sources. Such hurdles slow AI adoption and increase operational overhead, making it difficult for enterprises to innovate at scale.
The Solution: Unified AI-Ready Data Infrastructure
MongoDB’s Flexible Data Platform
MongoDB provides a versatile document model, enabling seamless storage and querying of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data-an essential feature for AI-driven applications. Its advanced vector search capabilities support semantic search, recommendation engines, RAG, and anomaly detection, reducing the need for complex data pipelines and minimizing latency. MongoDB’s distributed, serverless architecture ensures scalability, allowing organizations to deploy real-time AI solutions such as chatbots, intelligent search, and predictive analytics efficiently.
Capgemini’s Expertise in AI-Powered Transformation
Capgemini accelerates digital transformation by leveraging AI-driven automation and migration frameworks. The company assists enterprises in restructuring applications, optimizing data workflows, and transitioning to AI-ready platforms like MongoDB. Through generative AI, Capgemini analyzes legacy systems, crafts data migration scripts, and integrates AI capabilities seamlessly into business operations, ensuring a smooth modernization journey.
Real-World Impact: Use Cases Across Industries
AI-Driven Field Operations in Energy
A global energy company revolutionized field operations by replacing complex manual forms with a conversational AI interface. Workers in hazardous environments now interact with systems using natural language, significantly reducing administrative workload, boosting efficiency, and enhancing safety for over 120,000 field workers.
Automotive Anomaly Detection
An automotive enterprise implemented AI-powered engine sound analysis using vector embeddings to detect anomalies and predict failures. This proactive approach reduced breakdowns, optimized maintenance schedules, and improved vehicle reliability-delivering cost savings and operational efficiency.
Insurance Industry Transformation with GenYoda
Capgemini’s GenYoda, powered by MongoDB Atlas Vector Search, is transforming insurance operations. The solution processes extensive customer data-policy details, claims, and health records-to generate actionable insights. Insurance professionals benefit from faster report generation, enhanced productivity, and streamlined customer interactions. GenYoda can ingest 100,000 documents in hours and respond to queries in seconds, resulting in a 15% productivity increase, 25% faster report creation, and a 10% reduction in manual PDF searches.
Why Modernization Matters for Enterprise AI
As AI becomes central to real-time, mission-critical enterprise processes, modernizing data infrastructure is no longer optional. Organizations that unify data and integrate AI-driven capabilities position themselves to outpace competitors, drive innovation, and deliver superior business outcomes. Capgemini and MongoDB offer the expertise and technology to help enterprises overcome legacy limitations and embrace the next generation of AI-powered applications.
