The document discusses using MongoDB to build an enterprise data management (EDM) architecture and data lake. It proposes using MongoDB for different stages of an EDM pipeline including storing raw data, transforming data, aggregating data, and analyzing and distributing data to downstream systems. MongoDB is suggested for stages that require secondary indexes, sub-second latency, in-database aggregations, and updating of data. The document also provides examples of using MongoDB for a single customer view and customer profiling and clustering analytics.
