Case Study: Top Five Investment Bank achieves unified enterprise risk reporting, faster time-to-market, and reduced costs with MarkLogic

Top Five Investment Bank Enhanced Reporting, Minimized Risk, and Streamlined Integration

A top-five investment bank struggling with an aging relational infrastructure and 20 disparate batch systems needed to better integrate derivatives data, reduce errors, and lower operational risk and complexity. The fragmented environment made enterprise-wide reporting, real-time risk monitoring, and a true view of financial exposure difficult and slow.

The bank implemented a MarkLogic-based Derivatives/Operational Trade Store to replace the legacy landscape with a single system that provides a 360-degree view, real-time alerting, and ad-hoc querying for hundreds of users. The result was unified data and enhanced reporting, much faster time-to-market and agility, reduced costs and staff (one DBA vs. ten), and improved risk mitigation and scalability with a lower total cost of ownership.
