7Q7P

Use cases solved by our solutions

We have applied our graph expertise to 100s of different use cases and technology stacks, helping enterprises tackle their big data challenges. No matter your unique application requirements or data source, there's a good chance we have encountered it.

Our unparalleled graph drawing capabilities set us apart from our competitors who provide simple, spring embedder-type layouts. Our five advanced graph layout algorithms have been perfected over the decades and allow us to handle your most challenging requirements, whether that's for detailed electrical schematics, knowledge graphs, location-based visualizations, deeply nested data, and much more.

We have also developed a suite of graph analysis algorithms allowing you to apply advanced graph analytics to gain additional insight into your data.

And our graph technology platform has been perfected with regular releases over the past 15 years.

Here are just a few examples of some of the use cases our graph experts and solutions have helped address.

Airplane Physical and Logical Electrical System Diagram

Mechanical and system design

Systems engineers rely on precise schematics when designing complex machinery such as airplanes. Our precision graph drawings excel in this area. We partnered with a top manufacturer to develop a touchscreen application that showed the physical and logical connections of an airplane's electrical system, providing context to technical and non-technical users alike with our powerful visualizations and ability to navigate the electrical system.

Supply Chain With Chart

Supply chain analysis

In today's global business environment, supply chains quickly become complex as you source materials from different partners around the world. Add in weather, pandemics, staffing, and other issues, it can be a challenge to maintain inventory and keep up with demand. We built this example application to showcase our capabilities. The application presents a real-world supply chain that you can navigate and identifies problematic chains. Sign Up and test drive it for yourself to see the possibilities.

Enterprise Knowledge Graph

Enterprise knowledge graphs

As data becomes larger and more complex, organizations can discover insights in their knowledge graph with Perspectives. The data integration layer can effectively and efficiently load structured graph data into a native graph, in-memory graph model while advanced graph visualization and analysis provide ways to find and understand the pertinent information in the knowledge graph.

Graph of Fraud Alerts in Financial Transactions

Link analysis

Link analysis applies to financial fraud, policing, military and defense applications, and more. Link analysis is a technique to evaluate relationships between nodes. When combined with other types of analyses, such as betweenness and degree centrality, these graph techniques are powerful tools to identify fraud before it happens.

IT and Network Management Dashboard of Graphs and Charts

IT and network management

IT and network managers need fast, reliable ways to manage their networks. Since these networks can be modeled well with graphs, Perspectives visualizations, analysis, and synchronized views can help managers to better understand and optimize networks.

Graph of Multi-Step Business Process

Business process modeling

Process is key to keeping an organization running efficiently. Our advanced graph visualization technology keeps process modelers focused on designing processes instead of rearranging boxes. No matter how complex the process, tasks are automatically laid out in a readable graph that everyone can follow. Learn More.
