Certified expertise for teams that treat documents and semantics as first-class data — not an afterthought in a relational row.
What MarkLogic does#
MarkLogic is Progress’s enterprise multi-model database and search platform. It is often used when teams need one place to store, search, connect, and govern mixed content: documents, metadata, JSON, XML, text, semantic triples, geospatial data, and binaries.
In plain English: it is useful for document discovery, document search, knowledge repositories, and applications where the important context lives across documents rather than in neat database rows.
Where MarkLogic is used in the public sector#
Progress publishes a Defense Technical Information Center customer story describing a MarkLogic Data Hub for the U.S. Department of Defense community, with search, discovery, security, and semantic context at the centre of the work. Progress also positions MarkLogic for defence and intelligence-community data hub patterns.

- Performance — slow queries, index strategy, resource contention, and realistic benchmarking.
- Security — roles, compartments, encryption posture, integration with your IdP — described in a way your security team can sign off.
- Search and applications — REST APIs, custom search experiences, hybrid structured + unstructured use cases.

If you are deciding whether MarkLogic is the right engine for a greenfield problem, I will be honest when something simpler is enough — and when it is not.
