Case Study: a global financial services firm achieves faster legal research with Progress Data Platform

Global Financial Services Firm cuts legal research from 4 hours to minutes with Progress Software

A global financial services firm faced a significant challenge, as its legal associates spent an average of four hours manually compiling and analyzing dossiers of legislation, case law, and articles. To overcome this inefficient and costly process, the firm turned to Progress Software and its Progress Data Platform, which includes MarkLogic and the Semaphore Semantic AI platform.

Progress implemented a centralized AI-driven legal assistant using its data platform. The solution harnesses the stored knowledge and semantic modeling to guide an AI engine, which rapidly compiles relevant information, performs vector searches when needed, and provides reasoned insights. As a result, the firm reports that the four-hour research task is now completed in minutes, freeing legal staff for higher-value work while ensuring accuracy through systematic quality checks. Progress Software's solution has decreased costs and improved knowledge sharing across the organization.
