Summary

The complexity of subcontracting poses a significant challenge for companies that outsource or partner with contractors, resulting in limited visibility into the risk and compliance of their subcontractor community. This complexity can be modeled using a graph database, which was chosen by ISN due to its ease of installation, high performance, and small footprint, making it ideal for rapid building, deployment, and testing. The use of Neo4j graph database allowed ISN and Expero to quickly design and develop the system, leveraging its HTTP/S REST API and simple GUI console to inspect and analyze the data.
