Case Study: Major Pharmaceutical Company achieves rapid IP remediation before divestiture with Nuix

Major Pharmaceutical Company Turns to Nuix for Rapid Data Processing Prior to Divestiture Of Subsidiary

Major Pharmaceutical Company faced a tight two‑month deadline to identify and remove its intellectual property from a subsidiary’s data center before divestiture, risking loss of critical manufacturing and planning documents. The company engaged KPMG and deployed Nuix technology—specifically Nuix eDiscovery Workstation and Nuix Collector—to process and search the subsidiary’s servers and parent company email systems for proprietary information.

Nuix was installed onsite (with remote access for analysts and KPMG) to rapidly process and index roughly 30 TB of unstructured data; KPMG used the Nuix platform to scan more than 30 million emails, remediate over 300,000 emails, and review millions of file‑share records. Using Nuix, the team completed remediation on schedule, ensuring the Major Pharmaceutical Company retained confidence that confidential information was not transferred during the transaction.
