Case Study: Northern Trust achieves rapid digital transformation, faster deployments, and improved data governance with MarkLogic

Northern Trust Drives Growth with Modern Infrastructure Based on MarkLogic and the Cloud

Northern Trust, one of the largest U.S. banks, launched a digital transformation to attract new clients, increase loyalty and improve financial outcomes. The bank faced fragmented data and needed a single source of truth with real-time access, faster time-to-market for services and stronger security—requirements a traditional relational database couldn’t satisfy.

Northern Trust implemented MarkLogic on the cloud—using Operational Data Hubs, the Data Hub Framework, data governance, search, semantics and robust security—to serve as the system of record and support a microservices strategy. That approach delivered provable data provenance and governance, streamlined ETL and faster reporting with fewer resources, reduced storage costs, just-in-time data modeling, ACID data integrity, and rapid CI/CD (300 UAT and 100 production deployments in 15 days).
