What analytics leaders need to know about graph technology

The massive data sets, complex processing capabilities and advanced analytical models in the current digital business landscape create the perfect storm of opportunity for data and analytics. After languishing for decades, graph approaches are being embraced by analysts, data scientists and data management professionals. Graph technology is a sort of catch-all phrase that includes graph theory, graph analytics and graph data management. IT executives have a growing interest in graphs, as there is a basic understanding that graph technology is somehow different from existing solutions. Data and analytics leaders are being asked to provide guidance regarding how graph technology can be used, but many still don't have a complete understanding.
