Research Solutions Integrates AI to Boost SaaS Revenue Growth
Research Solutions Inc. is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) integrations in its Scite and Article Galaxy platforms to enhance research workflows for corporate, government, and academic clients. The company has connected these tools with major LLMs such as Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT, enabling users to access scientific content while ensuring copyright compliance. This strategic shift is part of a broader move toward high-margin SaaS revenue, which now accounts for about 43% of total sales. The company reported strong financial metrics including platform gross margins above 85%, $6 million in trailing-12-month EBITDA, and over $12 million in cash with no debt. CEO Roy Olivier emphasized the importance of aligning with where customers are using AI tools to streamline research processes across industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices. The company is seeing larger enterprise deals as a result but faces longer sales cycles due to IT security reviews.
