Case Study: AstraZeneca achieves agile enterprise search and faster R&D discovery with Sinequa

Agile Information Discovery at AstraZeneca

AstraZeneca, a global biopharmaceutical company, faced the challenge of making information discovery an agile process for its R&D scientists, who needed timely and accurate access to a vast array of structured and unstructured data from numerous sources. To accelerate research and innovation, AstraZeneca partnered with the vendor Sinequa to implement its cognitive search and analytics platform, aiming to move beyond traditional search and build targeted applications for specific departmental needs.

Using Sinequa's platform, AstraZeneca developed an internal application store featuring over 10 role-based search applications in just three months, which improved cross-departmental information discovery. The solution provided real-time search across over 180 million documents, automatically tagged with scientific vocabularies. This led to improved R&D productivity, a faster time to market, and widespread adoption, with the app store now available to over 60,000 employees globally, fostering a disruptive culture of innovation.
