Franz Inc. and Smartlogic Team Up to Help Enterprises Quickly Deploy Highly Scalable, Distributed Semantic Knowledge Graphs

Franz CEO and Smartlogic CEO to Present:
“How Enterprise Knowledge Graphs Solve Today’s Information Challenges”

LAFAYETTE, Calif.--()--Franz Inc., an early innovator in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and leading supplier of Graph Database technology for Knowledge Graph Solutions, and Smartlogic, the leader in Semantic AI technology, today announced a collaboration aimed to help large enterprises accelerate the timeframe to deploy highly-scalable, distributed Semantic Knowledge Graph solutions. The Franz Inc. and Smartlogic combination provides organizations with end-to-end technology along with the expertise to quickly create enterprise-scale Semantic Knowledge Graphs, which serve as the underpinning for Artificial Intelligence applications.

During an upcoming webinar on May 26, Dr. Jans Aasman, CEO of Franz Inc.; Jeremy Bentley, CEO and Founder of Smartlogic; and Dan McCreary, Distinguished Engineer, AI at Optum; will discuss how Enterprise Knowledge Graphs address today’s biggest business challenge – to process real-time sources of information and retrieve knowledge from data stored throughout the enterprise and beyond.

Join this informative discussion to learn about the technologies necessary to address this challenge, including Semantic Graph database technology, Semantic AI, Open Linked Data and other technology standards. Register today for the Webinar, which will be held on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 11:00AM Eastern Time.

“Enterprises today need the ability to rapidly integrate new knowledge into their organization, which is the crux of Knowledge Graph solutions and depends entirely on Semantic technologies,” said Dr. Jans Aasman, CEO of Franz Inc. “Semantic Graph database technology uniquely provides companies with the foundational environment for delivering real-time Artificial Intelligence along with the ability to continually enrich and contextualize the understanding of data.”

“Extracting value from the full set of information – both structured and unstructured is a key challenge for enterprises,” said Jeremy Bentley, CEO and Founder of Smartlogic. “Semantic Knowledge Graphs can connect data from different domains, data models, and data formats without changing the format. Knowledge Graphs also put data in context and create a powerful framework to integrate data, discover knowledge, and perform in-depth analysis across the enterprise.”

“AI solutions are often hindered by fragmented data and siloed point solutions,” according to Gartner’s Chief Data and Analytics Officer Research Team. “Montefiore’s data and analytics leader used Semantic Knowledge Graphs to power its AI solutions and achieved considerable cost savings as well as improvements in timeliness and the prediction accuracy of AI models.” Franz’s Knowledge Graph Platform, AllegroGraph, was relied upon for the Gartner Case Study: Entity-Event Knowledge Graph for Powering AI Solutions (Montefiore), Subscription Required.
