Data lived across five disparate systems, including CRM tools, trading platforms, SharePoint, and locally stored advisor documents, with no consistent format for compiling data, and this challenge was compounded across 14,000 annual reviews.","solutionApproach":"RBC Brewin Dolphin used Delta Lake to centralize structured and unstructured data with bronze, silver and gold layers, Unity Catalog for row-level security integrated with SSO, a custom Databricks App built with Dash for advisors, and Lakeflow Jobs orchestrating GenAI pipelines running 30 to 40 tailored LLM prompts per session (primarily Llama 3.1/3.3), plus AI Search and retrieval-augmented generation to produce contextual, advisor-ready outputs.","businessValue":"By automating approximately 90% of meeting pack preparation, Databricks automation saves 20 minutes per meeting pack, adding up to 4,700 hours saved annually, and is expected to reduce administrative costs by 50% for client reviews across 33 offices.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://www.databricks.com/customers/rbc-brewin-dolphin","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-09-08T09:03:52.164Z","publishedAtSource":"pipeline","updatedAt":"2026-09-08T09:03:52.164Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/rbc-bd-simplifies-client-review-preparation.
