The challenges of increasing complexity of organizations, companies and projects are obvious and omnipresent. Everywhere there are connections and dependencies that are often not adequately managed or not considered at all because of a lack of technology or expertise to uncover and leverage the relationships in data and information. In his presentation, Axel Morgner talks about graph technology and knowledge graphs as indispensable building blocks for successful companies.
