- 36. Elevator Pitch Neo Technology is the creator of Neo4j, the #1 database for connected data. Neo4j gives any organization the ability to quickly and easily leverage relationships between different data - the key to being a “connected enterprise.” Unlike other database models, Neo4j connects data as it stores it. This means the intelligence created from those connections is available directly from the database – without the need for additional processing. Its emphasis on native graph storage and real-time querying is pivotal in helping all kinds (and sizes) of organizations easily leverage data connections. Neo4j streamlines and accelerates application development and helps our customers deliver powerful new insights from data connections with greater agility and at lower cost than has previously been possible. Neo4j is perfect for improving the customer experience through real-time personalized recommendations; fighting financial and other types of crime; exploiting IoT and artificial intelligence; delivering new manufacturing/supply chain efficiency; and seamlessly integrating disparate master data to create a “connected enterprise.” We have over 200 customers that include Walmart, UBS, Cisco, HP, adidas and Lufthansa, in addition to a whole range of exciting startups. With over three million downloads, 50k training attendees and over a 100 partners, we have a vast and thriving ecosystem of developers, partners and users, and we are recognized as a leading player in our market.
