Case Study: AstraZeneca builds an AI-powered R&D app store with Sinequa

AstraZeneca makes 180 million documents searchable in real time with Sinequa

AstraZeneca, a global biopharmaceutical company, faced a significant challenge as its over 15,000 research professionals struggled to find information across numerous disconnected systems. With researchers needing four or more systems for daily work, the lack of a unified search capability hindered scientific speed and quality. To address this, AstraZeneca partnered with vendor Sinequa to deploy its cognitive search platform as a new information discovery infrastructure.

The solution centered on building an internal app store powered by Sinequa’s platform, enabling rapid development of role-specific search applications. Results included indexing over 180 million documents for real-time search accessible to 60,000 employees, with more than ten targeted applications deployed within the first three months. This implementation by Sinequa was completed in under twelve months, dramatically improving information access and forming a foundation for advanced AI capabilities.
