LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 03/31/15 -- GARTNER ENTERPRISE INFORMATION AND MDM SUMMIT -- Neo Technology, creator of Neo4j, the world's leading graph database, today announced the adoption of Neo4j for Master Data Management (MDM) applications by leading organizations including Cisco, StarHub and Polyvore. These enterprises and others are leveraging Neo4j to unlock business value by making the most of the data relationships inherent in their information.

Graph Databases: The Logical Choice for MDM

Graph databases allow organizations to consolidate MDM data from many systems into one, to offer a highly related, true view of this data. This enables companies to extract significant business value from their information.

As new research from InfoAdvisors finds, "The future of master data management will derive value from data and its relationships to other data. MDM will be about supplying consistent, meaningful views of master data. In many cases, we will be 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."(1)

Specific benefits of graph databases for MDM include:

• Discovering New Answers -- and New Questions -- in Existing Data: With a graph database, businesses can ask questions about the data relationships in their Master data that they might not even know they have, driving new business insights.
• 360 Degree View of Master Data: With a graph database, a business user can explore data about a product, and then click through to see the customers or types of customers that have purchased or viewed those items. Using the power of a graph, a business can explore data across systems and databases without having to change them.
• Database Performance when querying network and hierarchical data: A graph database is optimized to support questions about data relationships. That means that business users get fast access to answers about the complex, real world interconnectivity of master data. Traditional relational databases often struggle with these sorts of demands.
• Master Data Deduplication and Unification: Graph databases are used to identify potential duplicates in an MDM system based not just on matching data elements, but by inferring relationships between instances of master data. The result is true unification of data in a single system.
  
  

Enterprises Flock to Neo4j for MDM Applications
