Today’s government agencies – both at home and abroad – are beset by increasingly complex challenges within a more interconnected and ever-shifting political landscape. The technology solutions that ultimately overcome these challenges must harness the power of data connections.
Governments around the world already use graph technology to fight crime, prevent terrorism, improve fiscal responsibility and provide transparency to their citizenry. Often these solutions involve connecting data across different applications or repositories, spanning disparate processes and departments.
Join our online event to discover how graph databases have been helping governments to quickly make sense of obscured, divergent data and hear about our popular use cases and customer references.

11:20 - 12:00 - Intelligence Use Cases for Graph Data - Michal Bachman, CEO, GraphAware

Dr. Jim Webber is Neo4j’s Chief Scientist and Visiting Professor at Newcastle University. At Neo4j, Jim works on fault-tolerant graph databases and co-wrote O’Reilly’s Graph Databases book.
Prior to Neo4j, Jim worked on fault tolerant distributed systems. First at Newcastle University startup Arjuna and then for a variety of clients for global consulting firm ThoughtWorks. Along the way Jim previously co-authored the books REST in Practice and Developing Enterprise Web Services - An Architect’s Guide.
Jim is active in the software development and database research communities, presenting regularly around the world. His blog is located at https://jimwebber.org/blog and he tweets sometimes at @jimwebber.
At the age of 15, Tom Geudens' parents gave him a choice. Either become a baker or go into IT. That Christmas, Santa brought a MSX home-computer and the choice was made. At twenty and with a Bachelor in IT under his belt, he joined the IT department of Colruyt, a Belgian retailer specialized in 'Lowest Price' and doing this through automation.
He recently set up his own IT consultancy company, Elephant Bird Consulting and has worked with technologies from PL/1 through HPUX and Linux, and battled distributed applications development and configuration management issues. He currently is a field engineer for Neo4j and finds his old skills with network databases (IDMS) back in big demand. Twitter: @tomgeudens
