Graph Analytics for Network Analysis

Graph analytics examines relationships and connections in data, revealing patterns that traditional analytics miss. Companies use graph analytics for social network analysis, supply chain optimization, fraud detection by identifying suspicious relationship patterns, and knowledge graphs for semantic search and recommendation systems. The technology is particularly powerful for understanding complex interdependencies.

Applications include analyzing social media networks to understand influence and information spread, mapping supply chains to identify risks and optimize logistics, detecting fraud rings in financial transactions, and building knowledge graphs that connect entities and concepts. E-commerce platforms use graph analytics for product recommendations based on relationship patterns.

At the Incremental Innovation to Sustaining Performance stage, graph analytics is deployed in production by leading tech companies and enterprises globally. The technology is advancing with better algorithms, graph databases, and integration with machine learning. As data becomes more interconnected, graph analytics is becoming essential for understanding complex systems.
