Case Study: U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory achieves unified, 100X faster research with Progress MarkLogic

U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory boosts research efficiency 100X with Progress Software

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) faced a challenge with its research efforts being hampered by a network of disparate data sources, inflexible software, and a lack of governance. This environment created data silos that limited the ability to share knowledge and trace its pedigree. To overcome this, AFRL worked with vendor Progress Software and its product, MarkLogic, to create a unified data platform.

Progress Software implemented MarkLogic as the core of the HyperThought platform, which provided the multi-model flexibility, built-in search, security, and semantics that AFRL required. The solution resulted in a 100x performance increase, eliminated data silos, reduced costs, and made historical tests easily discoverable to improve R&D efficiency. The platform also fostered secure collaboration with other researchers.
