Summary

The problem of data silos is a significant challenge in many organizations, where data from different sources is fragmented and not easily accessible. To overcome this issue, NoSQL databases and technologies have been developed to integrate data more rapidly, at greater scale, and with more agility. However, these new technologies require the acquisition of new skills, which can be a barrier for some organizations. FactGem provides a solution by allowing non-technical users to integrate disparate silos of data without writing any code, making it easier for business users to access unified reports on previously disconnected data. The platform uses WhiteboardR, MappR, and MonitR to create a unified model, map data sources, and load data into FactGem, where it is immediately accessible and queryable. Additionally, FactGem's Enterprise Neo4j offering allows users to take advantage of the graph database technology directly using Cypher. By providing an easy-to-use interface and drag-and-drop data integration, FactGem helps non-technical users quickly see the value of graphs and ultimately invest in adopting graph technology.
