Case Study: Global Pharmaceutical Company accelerates data discovery and litigation searches with Exonar Reveal

Powering data management strategy in a pharma company

Global Pharmaceutical Company, a global network of associated pharma companies, was struggling to find specific information buried across nearly 100TB of largely unstructured data for litigation, patent, and regulatory searches. Manual searching across email, vaults, hard drives, and file sites was slow and inconsistent, and the loss of tribal knowledge as staff retired made it harder to locate the right documents. Exonar, using its Reveal data discovery product, was brought in to help simplify these searches and improve visibility across the data estate.

Exonar Reveal was tested on real litigation-related scenarios and was able to find the needed documents and datasets within minutes, giving the company confidence in its indexing and search capabilities. The customer said Exonar functioned like an “insurance policy,” helping them avoid expensive third-party investigations and saving seven-figure sums, with estimated ROI of 200% over three to four years. Exonar also enabled faster, more accurate searches, better data cleanup and deletion decisions, and broader access to data without specialist support.
