Case Study: Bruce Power transforms dark data into business value with Shinydocs

How Bruce Power Transformed Their Dark Data into Understood Information

Bruce Power, one of the world’s largest nuclear-generating stations, needed a better way to manage massive volumes of dark data as it continued operating a 20-year-old enterprise asset management system. Faced with legacy systems that couldn’t keep up with growing data and user expectations, the company turned to Shinydocs Pro to improve information retrieval, compliance, and decision-making.

Shinydocs crawled Bruce Power’s structured and unstructured repositories to identify ROT files, data gaps, permission issues, and sensitive content such as PII and IP, then deployed Enterprise Search across the organization. The result was a major transformation: 15 million files were reduced to 3 million with business value, 300 terabytes of data were connected with analytics, and 4,000 users gained fast access to critical information—cutting search time from hours to seconds and eliminating days of manual effort.
