The reason I still need a relational system on top of this is it just doesn't make sense to handle something like inventory quantity in a document centric system. Someone uploads a spreadsheet daily to update all of their inventory quantities, you only need to change one field, not replace the entire product catalog. Same for updates when products generate orders and you need to decrement quantity. You get the picture. The management concerns aren't around anything in particular, just adding another technology to the mix we have already, which includes Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and Postrgres. Some due to acquisitions, some home grown in the original product.
