Case Study: Tier-One Investment Bank boosts revenue, accelerates time-to-market, and saves hundreds of thousands with MarkLogic

Tier-One Investment Bank Boosts Revenue and Saves Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars

A tier-one investment bank specializing in equity research needed to improve efficiency and information quality while scaling for growing demand for mobile updates, alerts and historical-report search. Facing intense competitive pressure and rapidly changing requirements, the bank aimed to get research to market faster and achieve first-to-publish status.

The bank built an Equities Research Authoring System on the MarkLogic database, chosen for NoSQL flexibility and enterprise features like security and disaster recovery. Development cycles fell from 6–12 months to 3–4 weeks, the platform eliminated costly ETL and halved total cost of ownership (saving hundreds of thousands of dollars), improved data quality and service, and helped the bank boost revenue and cement its reputation as the “go-to” research firm.
