Case Study: Large United States–Based Financial Institution achieves migration nearly two years ahead of schedule and millions in savings with Nuix

Financial Institution Saves Two Years and Millions of Dollars Migrating with Nuix

Large United States Based Financial Institution was struggling with more than 330 TB of email and attachments trapped in EMC EmailXtender and Symantec Enterprise Vault archives, where corrupt indexes and slow API-based tools made eDiscovery searches unreliable and the incumbent migration vendor estimated the move would take up to three years. The institution engaged Nuix (using the Nuix Engine) after its API-driven migration stalled, seeking a faster way to index, search, and remediate its legacy archives.

Nuix read directly from the archival binaries, indexed 3.1 billion emails (330 TB) in about 45 days, and gave the legal team full eDiscovery capability within six weeks—400 keyword searches across 3.1 billion messages ran in under three hours. By enabling targeted analysis and deduplication, Nuix helped the firm leave roughly 75% of the data behind, shave millions of dollars from storage and software costs, cancel legacy maintenance, and complete the migration nearly two years ahead of schedule.
