provides eBay with functionality that was previously
impossible.” - Volker Pacher, Senior Developer
“Minutes to milliseconds” performance
Queries up to 1000x faster than other tested database types

15. "Neo4j continues to
dominate the graph
database market.”
“69% of enterprises
have, or are planning
to implement graphs
over next 12 months”
October, 2017
“The most widely stated
reason in the survey for
selecting Neo4j was
to drive innovation”
February, 2018
Critical Capabilities for
DBMSA
“In fact, the rapid rise of
Neo4j and other graph
technologies may signal
that data connectedness
is indeed a separate
paradigm from the model
consolidation happening
across the rest of the
NoSQL landscape.”
March, 2018

23. Background
• Panama based lawyers Mossack & Fonseca do
business in hosting “letterbox companies”
• Suspected to support tax saving and organized
crime
• Altogether: 2.6 TB, 11 milo files, 214.000 letter
box companies
Business Problem
• Goal to unravel chains Bank-Person–Client–
Address–Intermediaries – M&F
• Earlier cases: spreadsheet based analysis (back-
and-forth) & pencil to extract such connections
• This case: sheer amount of data & arbitrarily chain
length condemn such approaches to fail
Solution and Benefits
• 400 journalists, investigate/update/share, 2 people
with IT background
• Identify connections quickly and easily
• Fast Results wouldn‘t be possible without GraphDB
