Q&A

Q: Can you implement ETL directly from MongoDB datasets? And can we point Bold BI directly to Mongo data sources?

A: Bold ETL provides a more streamlined way to process Mongo databases and transform them to required fields, which can then be connected from Bold BI. Bold BI also connects to MongoDB with extract support. The MongoDB MySQL client can connect in live mode, too, supported only via the MongoDB BI connector.
