Case Study: Springer boosts online content delivery with Progress Software MarkLogic

Springer boosts online revenue to 95% with Progress Software

Springer, a scientific publisher, faced the challenge of bringing its crucial SpringerLink online content platform in-house to gain control and flexibility, as it generated two-thirds of company revenue. With an 11-month deadline to replace an outsourced system, they needed a solution enabling rapid deployment, fast search, and full ownership. They turned to Progress Software's MarkLogic database to build their new platform.

Progress Software and its MarkLogic solution enabled Springer to deliver the new platform on time. The results were significant: the platform now generates 95% of Springer's online revenue, handles over a million daily downloads, and performs searches and functions up to four times faster. User engagement increased dramatically, with time spent on the site rising by one-third and bounce rate halving, while the agile architecture allows for weekly feature releases.
