Whether managing increasingly complex network structures, ever-more-diverse product lines and bundles, or customer satisfaction and retention in today’s competitive environments, graph databases enable businesses to become more agile by leveraging their connected data.

From the network graph to the social graph, to the call center graph, and the master data graph, telcos around the world are using graph databases to achieve competitive advantage.
