Global Financial Institution and Top 3 Bank in Europe Strengthens Regulatory Compliance with Industry’s Fastest Search and Supervision from ZL Unified Archive®
“None of the other solutions can hold a candle to how fast ZL searches across the entire dataset.”
– IT Project Manager

Overview:
This global financial institution is one of the 3 largest banks in Europe by both market capitalization and profitability and also has a strong presence in the U.S. It has more than 75,000 employees worldwide, and is currently the world’s largest manager of private wealth assets.
Individual divisions of the bank had already deployed four separate archiving and compliance solutions but all fell short. As a result, the customer turned to ZL for a global solution.
Challenges:
This bank had a number of requirements for its archiving and compliance solution:
- An archiving solution that enables compliance with the strict regulations requiring data preservation and integrity to ensure the security of these assets and the stability of the institution.
- A records management solution that provides instant access to enterprise records.
- A solution that enables one to search the entire email archive without being limited to selected mailboxes.
Furthermore, the bank was looking for a replacement solution that met the following criteria:
- Audit preparedness, including the ability to quickly produce any email from the massive mailstore.
- Supervision and compliance, including comprehensive reporting tools and review functions such as targeted review, post-review, and random sampling.
- Rapid and accurate search.
- A truly scalable solution.
Benefits:
ZL was able to meet these demands and has maintained a strong and close relationship with the customer while providing the following benefits:
- Unprecedented search speed, returning results rapidly and from a search across almost a billion messages.
- Rapid data ingestion using a scalable architecture.
- Improved Early Case Assessment and internal investigations.
- Lowered costs by using ZL’s advanced sampling module.
