The solution? A Knowledge Portal: a dynamic and interconnected system designed to transform the way we manage, access, and leverage knowledge. This provides users with a comprehensive Enterprise 360 view of all of the information they need to successfully do their jobs. At its core, a Knowledge Portal consists of five components: Web UI, API Layer, Enterprise Search Engine, Knowledge Graph, and Taxonomy/Ontology Management System. 

The diagram below displays how these five components interact within the context of an Enterprise Knowledge Portal implementation.

Collectively, these components create a unified platform, empowering both organizations and individuals to discover information, break down organizational silos, and make informed decisions. 

EK has expertise in Knowledge Portal implementations, and we would love to help you take the next step on your knowledge management journey. Please contact us for more information.

Special thank you to Adam Eltarhoni for his contributions to this infographic!

Wahl and Hilger will deliver a talk titled Employee 360 in Action. In the talk, they will discuss how EK has been using PoolParty to build knowledge graphs that improve the way organizations manage employees across the enterprise. This concept of Employee 360 has the potential to deliver holistic views of an employee. As part of the presentation, Zach and Joe will share stories and best practices around creating knowledge graphs that capture the full lifecycle of the employee journey from hiring through when they leave the organization. Attendees will learn how to integrate information from multiple sources into a single view that shares everything about an employee.

The event is free to anyone interested. Learn more and register for the Summit here.

On Wednesday the 27th, EK’s Holly Maykow, Senior Data Specialist, and Fernando Aguilar, Senior Data Scientist, will deliver a presentation titled Customer 360 and its Applications, a Case Study. This presentation will discuss a case study on how an identity graph represents a comprehensive view of a consumer, giving a global company a 360-degree view of their customers, attributes, and key business insights. Key topics of the talk will include how to define a customer identity graph as well as the requirements for building one. Common challenges and roadblocks to consider before and during identity graph implementation will also be explored.

Also on Wednesday, Joe Hilger, EK COO, will serve as a panelist on the closing presentation of the conference, Delivering and Scaling Knowledge Graph Solutions. Joe will be joined by Robert Engels, VP CTO Europe I&D at Capgemini, Carlos Alberto, Data Protection Officer at Fujitsu, and Vassil Momtchev, CTO of Ontotext. The panelists will cover topics including real world knowledge graph use cases, deployment patterns, and technology ecosystems for graph databases. The session will be moderated by Juan Sequeda of data.world as a special edition of the Catalog and Cocktails podcast.

The virtual conference will provide opportunities to connect with fellow professionals and entrepreneurs, learn from experts across two main tracks, and get an overview of the market and technology trends from industry leaders.

Enterprise Knowledge (EK), the world’s largest dedicated knowledge and information management consulting firm, announced the launch of the Knowledge Graph Accelerator today, a mechanism to establish an organization’s first knowledge graph solution in a matter of weeks. In partnership with data.world, the knowledge graph-based enterprise data catalog, organizations will be able to rapidly unlock use cases such as Employee, Product, and Customer 360, Advanced Analytics, and Natural Language Search. 

“Knowledge Graphs are a critical component necessary to achieve Enterprise AI, but most organizations need a quick and scalable way to understand and experience the value,” said Lulit Tesfaye, Practice Lead of Data and Information Management at EK. “EK, in partnership with data.world, is creating a holistic solution to make building Enterprise AI intuitive using knowledge graphs, from data modeling and storage to enrichment and governance. Having this end-to-end consistency is critical for the success of knowledge graph products and setting the foundations for Enterprise AI.”

“EK has been at the leading edge of Knowledge Graph strategy, design, and implementation since our inception,” added Zach Wahl, CEO of EK. “Our thought leadership in this field, combined with data.world’s advanced capabilities, creates an exciting opportunity for organizations to feel the impact and realize the benefits quickly and meaningfully.”

Gartner predicts that graph technologies will be leveraged in over 80% of innovations in data and analytics by 2025, but many organizations find the business and technical complexities of graph design and implementation to be daunting. The Knowledge Graph Accelerator addresses the need to develop a practical, standards-based roadmap and prototype to quickly realize the potential of knowledge graphs. 

Through the Knowledge Graph Accelerator, organizations will get the following outcomes in less than 2 months:

• An understanding of the foundations of knowledge graphs, including graph data modeling, data mapping, and data management;
• A first implementable version (FIV) knowledge graph that can be scaled and enhanced;
• A pilot version of your graph solution leveraging the knowledge graph-based data management solution data.world and gra.fo; and
• A strategy for your organization to make Enterprise AI a reality. 

“Enterprises need to understand and trust the data powering their analytics while generating meaningful insights. But supporting different data sources and use cases, while analyzing and traversing changes to metadata and automating relationships can be challenging,” said Dr. Juan Sequeda, Principal Scientist at data.world. “Knowledge graphs are foundational for an effective and future proof data catalog, as well for next generation AI and analytics .”

To learn more, explore our approach and what your organization will get through the Knowledge Graph Accelerator. Also, reach out to Enterprise Knowledge to learn how to unlock the use cases that are most valuable to your enterprise. 

On September 29th, 2021,  Enterprise Knowledge will participate in the virtual data.world fall summit. Additional keynote speakers include Zhamak Dehghani, Barr Moses, Doug Laney, and Jon Loyens.

Enterprise Knowledge COO Joe Hilger will moderate a webinar, The Art of Developing Valuable Employee Journeys, jointly hosted by EK and Semantic Web Company (SWC). 

The webinar will examine an emerging approach called Enterprise 360 – where organizations can implement enterprise knowledge graphs to achieve 360-degree views of business relating to customers, employees, products, and services. Specifically, Employee 360 creates a centralized view of all relevant knowledge related to an employee’s journey, such as the recruiting, onboarding, and learning and development (L&D) processes, employee retention, and employee work experience, to improve visibility into all aspects of employee content and data, resulting in improved employee experiences and learning, as well as greater organizational alignment and decision-making. 

The webinar will feature a panel of four speakers who will share their experiences implementing solutions around Employee 360, advanced knowledge graph technologies, and the business value it brings to employees and organizations.

The online webinar will take place on Tuesday, July 13, 2021, 12:00pm – 1:00pm EDT. Register for the webinar here.
