Your Master Data Is a Graph: Are You Ready?

This whitepaper is sponsored by Neo4J.

The future of Master Data Management is deriving value from data relationships which reveal more data stories that become more and more important to competitive advantage as we enter into the future of data and business analytics. MDM will be about supplying consistent, meaningful views of master data and being able to unify data into one location, especially to optimize for query performance and data fit. Graph databases offer exactly that type of data/performance fit.

Use data relationships to unlock real business value in MDM:

  • Graphs can easily model both hierarchical and non-hierarchical master data
  • The logical model IS the physical model making it easier for business users to visualize data relationships
  • Deliver insights in real-time from data relationships in your master data
  • Stay ahead of the business with faster development
