Case Study: Tier-One Investment Bank achieves a single source of truth and real-time analytics with MarkLogic

Mixing Workloads At An Investment Bank

MarkLogic worked with a tier‑1 investment bank that needed to run an operational trade store while also supporting real‑time analytics and historical analysis. The bank faced the common challenge of siloed OLTP and analytic systems—leading to duplicated data, complex ETL, synchronization headaches, and high infrastructure and integration costs.

The bank consolidated both workloads on MarkLogic’s Enterprise NoSQL platform, leveraging scale‑out architecture, rich indexes, tiered storage, and direct Hadoop/MapReduce access to run analytics on the same indexed data. The single‑system approach eliminated costly duplicates (an estimated $16M), reduced ETL and integration effort, and improved security, data retention and regulatory compliance.
