Neo Technology is an Information Technology and Services provider and the creator of world’s leading graph database, Neo4j. Neo4j is used to model and query highly complex interconnected networks. It is a highly scalable native graph database that leverages data relationships as first-class entities to help companies build intelligent applications that meet today's evolving connected data challenges including fraud detection, real-time recommendations, master data management, network security and IT operations.
Neo Technology’s database had been key to its investigation of the Panama Papers as reported by The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists data and research unit. Journalists with access to the vast trove of data used the firm’s open-source database to make sense of 11.5 million documents, including emails, images and spreadsheets, leaked from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. Its 'Graph Database' helped to find names of the rich and powerful and linking them to offshore accounts.

Over the years, Neo Technology has served many companies like Walmart, UBS, Cisco, HP, Adidas, Lufthansa etc. Headquartered in San Mateo, California, they also have regional offices in Sweden, Germany and the UK.

Product
Neo4j
Neo4j is a general-purpose graph database that can handle transaction processing or analytics, and it's compatible with leading development platforms including Java, Ruby, Python, Groovy and others. It is working on scale-out architecture and can manage and reveal billions of relationships. Neo4j is available in a GPL3-licensed open-source "community edition", with online backup and high availability extensions licensed under the terms of the Affero General Public License. Neo also licenses Neo4j with these extensions under closed-source commercial terms.
- Neo4j comes in 3 editions: Community, Enterprise, and Government.
- The Community Edition is free but is limited to running on 1 node only due to the lack of clustering and is without hot backups.
- The Enterprise Edition unlocks these limitations allowing for clustering, hot backups and monitoring.
- The Government Edition extends the Enterprise Edition adding additional government specific services including FISMA-related certification and accreditation support.
Neo4j browser
The Neo4j browser is a visualization tool to help with application and database development. It uses Graph Visualization Tools like Tableau, Linkurious, Keylines and Tom Sawyer. They help to visualize the results of the development, say for link analysis or detailed dependencies.
Neo4j Data Journalism Accelerator Program
The Neo4j Data Journalism Accelerator Program is designed to help data journalists get up to speed with analyzing connected relationships in Neo4j. With the ability to model and query data as a graph and draw insights from highly connected data such as email records, leaked documents, and public data, Neo4j is the defacto standard for discovering connections in this capacity. The technology has a long, successful track record of being used by journalists. [3]
