After creating an exhaustive model for insider trading surveillance centered on those working for a company, \u201call of a sudden, you\u2019ve got an employee entity relationship graph,\u201d Reed says. \u201cNow you can say these are the traders that are exhibiting potential insider trader activity.

Impact analysis is critical to optimizing operational efficiency\u2014particularly when change management is involved. By modeling all the different functions, infrastructure, applications and departments involved in a datacenter in a relationship graph, organizations can understand the effect of each of those objects to streamline operations. Such a graph becomes vital to the proper implementation of change management, which should be done as painlessly and quickly as possible to improve workflows. Otherwise, companies face reactionary situations in which there is no definite knowledge of a proposed change\u2019s impact, which simply leads to delays in which, \u201cno one is sure enough to say \u2018no\u2019 or \u2018yes\u2019,\u201d Reed explains. \u201cSo you thought the decision was no and you build up more and more technical debt as things fall more and more behind in terms of patch levels and homogeneity in your dataset, to the point where you were forced to do something. When you did that something, it was macro and you needed a small army of people to negate the risk.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5dab761 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5dab761\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2fc7ea3\" data-id=\"2fc7ea3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bee1637 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bee1637\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tConversely, by graphing all the aspects of the datacenter down to individual switches, companies not only see how something\u2019s affected by a change but also the best time to make it to minimize downtime. The same datacenter relationship graph can be deployed for triage analysis, which further demonstrates the compounding benefits of the approach. In the latter example, organizations can elucidate how to mitigate any issues involving the datacenter and the various objects contained in its graph. \u201cIf something breaks, you can now use the same graph to say this is the collateral damage and these are the people I need to get involved to get the business back up and running,\u201d Reed says. \u201cThen I can start doing my root cause analysis to prevent it from happening again.

The insider trading graph addresses risk and reputational intelligence and can be repurposed as an employee entity relationship graph to provide client intelligence. The datacenter graph delivers operational intelligence, while a similar graph yields understanding of the market forces influencing that vertical.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.msci.com\/gics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Global Information Classification Standard<\/a>\u00a0(GICS) is one of the most commonly used tools to analyze those forces. Reed explains that modeling its data on a semantic graph is influential for ascertaining \u201chow you can traverse it. A lot of companies spend a lot of time trying to figure out, for example, how do I look at supply and demand to understand credit risk across GICS categories. Again, that\u2019s all about relationships.\u201d Once organizations have invested in semantic graph architecture, they can also facilitate cluster analysis to illustrate the density of relevant financial concepts. For instance, cluster analysis can depict collateral concentrations of specific customers or financial organizations according to factors such as entities and region.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-641c7f4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"641c7f4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b79f6b9\" data-id=\"b79f6b9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-517b364 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"517b364\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<strong>Centralized governance<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4bcac4a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4bcac4a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-284bdda\" data-id=\"284bdda\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84d3e6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"84d3e6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nDue to the numerous regulatory entities and punitive measures for non-compliance, financial companies all but require the uniform consistency of centralized data governance. By harmonizing their data (regardless of source or location) in an RDF graph, they can readily implement such governance with a top-down approach. Governance dictated by business unit, application or enterprise function is simply a way to increase the number of silo Hadoop implementations. When attempting to demonstrate provenance for multiple regulatory entities and purposes, local governance aggravates what\u2019s already a difficult task. In contrast, the holistic governance of Reed\u2019s method heightens regulatory compliance capabilities while demonstrating data lineage across the enterprise. Thus, organizations save money on potential non-compliance penalties and perform better with the plethora of use cases graphs facilitate. \u201cThe beauty of [centralized] governance in place is that you can start applying this new technology to any existing silo problems and improve it incrementally over time while you deal with these new data fronts with the right underlying architectural approach,\u201d Reed says.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-22a8e06 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"22a8e06\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7cc668f\" data-id=\"7cc668f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a65216 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5a65216\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><h2><em>Data as an enterprise asset<\/em><\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8d74342 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8d74342\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e4c1913\" data-id=\"e4c1913\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9878c95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9878c95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEvery organization looking to profit from data-driven practices must invest accordingly.
