Case Study: Syngenta accelerates R&D innovation with Progress Software's AI search platform

Syngenta cuts research search time by 40% with Progress Software

Syngenta, a science-led agricultural technology company, faced a significant challenge as its scientists struggled to access critical research data scattered across legacy systems and siloed databases after a series of mergers. Their existing enterprise search tool relied on basic keyword matching and could not understand industry-specific terms, which created a major bottleneck in the R&D process and increased operational costs.

Progress Software, through its Progress Data Platform with MarkLogic, provided the solution by consolidating all enterprise data into a single, searchable knowledge base. This solution used semantic tagging, NLP, and machine learning to connect and enrich millions of documents into a powerful knowledge graph. The result was a 40% reduction in the time researchers spend searching for data, enabling faster, more informed decisions and accelerating innovation by uncovering valuable research previously lost in silos.
