May 7, 2025

Serverless offering with 65+ ready-to-use algorithms boosts model accuracy by up to 80% and delivers 2X deeper insights – no graph expertise needed

SAN MATEO, Calif. , May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Neo4j®, the world’s leading graph database and analytics company, announced the launch of Neo4j Aura Graph Analytics, a new serverless offering that for the first time can be used seamlessly with any data source, and with Zero ETL (extract, load, transfer). The solution delivers the power of graph analytics to users of all skill levels, unlocking deeper intelligence and achieving 2X* greater insight precision and quality over traditional analytics. Neo4j Aura Graph Analytics is generally available now on a pay-as-you-use basis and works with all databases, such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL, all cloud data warehouses and data lake platforms, such as Databricks, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Microsoft OneLake, and on any cloud.

Graph analytics improves AI decision-making by uncovering hidden patterns and relationships in complex data, delivering more accurate insights with richer context than traditional analytics. Yet despite its powerful capabilities, graph analytics has remained out of reach for many organizations due to its complexity and learning curve – until now. The new Neo4j offering makes graph analytics capabilities accessible to everyone and eliminates adoption barriers by removing the need for custom queries, ETL pipelines, or any need for specialized graph expertise – so that business decision-makers, data scientists, and other users can focus on outcomes, not overhead.

“Data captured in any enterprise is sparse and replete with gaps, making it difficult to find and link useful data. Data and analytics leaders should use graph analytics as a preferred technology in specific use cases to fill data gaps and blend data assets even when they have diverse data quality,” says Gartner in its Exploring the Top Use Cases for Graph Analytics report, May 10, 2024, by Jim Hare and Mark Beyer.

Neo4j Aura Graph Analytics requires no infrastructure setup and no prior experience with graph technology or Cypher query language. Users seamlessly deploy and scale graph analytics workloads end-to-end, enabling them to collect, organize, analyze, and visualize data. The offering includes the industry’s largest selection of 65+ ready-to-use graph algorithms and is optimized for high-performance applications and parallel workflows. Users pay only for the processing power and storage they consume.

Additional benefits and capabilities below are based on customer-reported outcomes that reflect real-world performance gains:

Up to 80% model accuracy, leading to 2X greater efficacy of insights that go beyond the limits of traditional analytics. Accuracy is achieved by transforming graph structures into ML-ready features with graph embeddings, unlocking graph’s unique ability to uncover deeper patterns and relationships in complex connected data. Graph also dynamically aligns in real time as data changes, because it is driven by the connections between data points, not just the data itself. Advanced graph algorithms and embeddings, such as centrality, pathfinding, community detection, link prediction, and similarity, dramatically improve outcomes across hundreds of use cases such as fraud detection, anti-money laundering, disease contact tracing, customer 360, supply chain management, recommendation engines, and social network analysis.Insights achieved twice as fast as open-source alternatives with parallelized in-memory processing of graph algorithms. The offering’s ability to run different yet simultaneous DSML (data science and machine learning) research instances also improves data analyst productivity. Users can scale graph analytics across their organization with unlimited concurrent sessions, each running independently.75% less code, Zero ETL. Lower code is achieved by the ability to apply 65+ ready-to-use graph algorithms, eliminating the need to manually build models for each analysis. Users run the offering anywhere, directly on any enterprise data and in the data science environment most familiar to them by easily projecting data from Pandas dataframes, and with Zero-ETL. Users are also able to use the Python-based data science tools that they are already familiar with to project subgraphs, run algorithms, and return results.No administration overhead, and lower total cost of ownership. The fully managed serverless offering removes the burden of server provisioning, maintenance, or resource management. Users also minimize administrative costs and optimize infrastructure costs through a flexible pay-as-you-use service, scaling compute and storage up or down as needed for more precise spending control.

Neo4j Aura Graph Analytics is available for all data sources through Pandas dataframes in Python. According to GitHub, Python is the most commonly used language for AI. Support for all other major languages is expected this year.

Native integration with Snowflake to be generally available by Q3FY25

Neo4j Graph Analytics for Snowflake, a native integration with Snowflake, will be generally available this Q3 following its launch last year and numerous large-scale enterprise deployments. The move underscores mainstream demand for graph analytics across the most widely adopted data clouds, so that organizations across industries can operationalize data for faster and more accurate insights regardless of where that data lives. The offering can be purchased on Snowflake Marketplace.

Latest milestones driven by surging AI and graph demand

Neo4j’s new serverless offering builds on a series of milestones for Neo4j. In September 2024, Neo4j transformed its Aura cloud database management system portfolio with AI-ready capabilities to simplify and accelerate graph adoption across any use case or workload. The result enabled Neo4j to advance its position as the category leader and the preferred graph partner across all major cloud service providers due to its comprehensive offering, deployment flexibility, analytics, and strong community support, accelerated with GenAI.

In December, the company was recognized as a Visionary in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant ™ for Cloud Database Management Systems for the second consecutive year. Neo4j also ranked as a Strong Performer among 14 top vendors in The Forrester Wave ™: Vector Databases, Q3 2024.

In November 2024, Neo4j doubled its annual recurring revenue in three years at a $2B+ valuation, driven by growing cloud adoption and GenAI demand. Neo4j is used by 84% of Fortune 100 companies and 58% of the Fortune 500, including Adobe, BT Group, Novo Nordisk, and UBS.

CLARION SAFETY SYSTEMS IMPLEMENTS ISO 7010 SYMBOL UPDATE FOR NO ACCESS FOR UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS

Published

52 minutes ago

April 23, 2026

Clarion Safety Systems has implemented a sweeping change to designs containing the No Access symbol as reflected by the recent ISO 7010 standards updates

MILFORD, Pa., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Clarion Safety Systems, a leading manufacturer of safety labels, signs, and tags, has updated its safety communication offerings to include the newly registered ISO 7010 symbol for No Access for Unauthorized Persons. This update ensures that facility owners and equipment manufacturers have access to the most current, science based designs for restricting access to hazardous areas.

The refined symbol design has been updated to reflect the official ISO 7010 symbol reference number P080 to align with the latest International Organization for Standardization registration. The primary modification involves the placement of the red prohibition slash, which now overlaps the human figure rather than being positioned below it. This design shift is the result of rigorous comprehension testing conducted by ISO technical committees. The testing confirmed that placing the slash over the figure improves the speed and accuracy of a viewer’s recognition, which is critical for preventing unauthorized entry and reducing workplace accidents.

“Maintaining alignment with the latest ANSI and ISO standards is a fundamental part of our mission to help our customers communicate safety information effectively,” says Angela Lambert, the Chair of ANSI Z535.1 and Director of Standards Compliance at Clarion Safety Systems, “Our active leadership within the standards community allows us to implement these research based refinements as soon as they are ratified. This ensures our clients are using the most intuitive visual language available to protect their personnel and decrease liability exposure.”

Clarion Safety team members are deeply involved in the development of these standards, holding positions within the ANSI Z535 Committee, the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO/TC 145, and the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC 283. This expertise is built into the updated No Access symbol collection, which is available in a variety of durable materials engineered for industrial environments.

The updated symbols are produced in a variety of formats for labels and signs, using long lasting materials rated for ultraviolet light, water, and chemical resistance. To support a seamless transition for its customers, Clarion Safety is offering complimentary consults for those interested in learning more about the changes and updated product libraries across the site.

These updated designs are essential for meeting the requirements of ISO 3864-2 and are encouraged under the ANSI Z535.4 standards. By adopting the current ISO 7010 registered symbols, organizations can improve hazard recognition among a multilingual workforce and maintain compliance with global safety expectations.

Palantir and AIP Specialist Firm, Vanyar, Launches

Published

April 23, 2026

Founded by enterprise technology leaders, Vanyar addresses a persistent gap between adopting platforms like Palantir and delivering measurable operational impact.

SYDNEY, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vanyar launches today as a specialist firm focussed on Palantir Foundry and AIP. Its launch comes at a critical time in the market when enterprise AI transformation programmes are becoming slower, more complex and increasingly difficult to deliver. These initiatives, which often involve platforms like Palantir, continue to fall short for many companies wanting to get ahead.

Founded by seasoned enterprise technology experts, Vanyar provides top-tier advisory, build, AI agent development, and 24/7 platform support services to organisations across APAC and the Middle East, with their sights set on future global expansion. Led by a team of experts with decades of enterprise experience and deep Palantir expertise, the company offers a compelling value proposition for modern companies.

With the accelerated adoption of AI and rising demand for data-led insights, Vanyar’s timely launch meets demand for Palantir expertise head-on. Global system integrators are racing to build Palantir practices, investing in onboarding thousands of certified professionals. Yet, while the Palantir ecosystem is growing fast, very few specialist partners are focused on enabling organisations outside of government and defence to unlock value from the platform quickly and efficiently.

Uriah Jacobs, Co-Founder and CEO of Vanyar, said of the launch, “Over many years of building enterprise technology businesses, the same fundamental problem keeps emerging. Organisations know platforms like Palantir are powerful, but they struggle to successfully implement these initiatives and deliver real-world, tangible outcomes.

The large consultancies are expensive and slow. Palantir’s own services team is focused on their biggest accounts. There is a clear gap for a specialist firm that moves fast, keeps teams small, and delivers measurable results in mere weeks. That’s why Vanyar exists.”

Vanyar’s services span the full Palantir lifecycle: advisory and strategy to assess platform fit, Foundry ontology design and data pipeline engineering, AI agent development on AIP, 24/7 platform operations, and hands-on training bootcamps. The firm’s engagement model is designed for speed, with a typical path from discovery to delivery production in just weeks.

“The technology behind Palantir is extraordinary, but it takes real enterprise experience to make it work inside a large organisation,” said Rahul Garg, Co-Founder of Vanyar.

“We have built and scaled high velocity tech-services businesses before. We know what great service delivery looks like. Every person at Vanyar is here because they can ship production solutions, not because they look good on a bench sheet.”

Both founders bring proven track records of building and scaling specialist consulting businesses in the enterprise technology sector. Uriah Jacobs was the founding Managing Director APAC of Thirdera, which became the world’s largest pure-play ServiceNow consultancy and was acquired by Cognizant in 2024. He previously held senior roles at Cloud Sherpas (acquired by Accenture, 2015) and Accenture.

Rahul Garg co-founded CloudGo, a ServiceNow Elite Partner that was acquired by RGP in 2023 and is Singapore’s first ServiceNow Certified Master Architect. Together, the founders have a vision to solve complex problems with simple, data-led solutions.

About Vanyar: Vanyar is a Palantir Foundry and AIP specialist that helps organisations turn fragmented data into answers they can act on. Founded in 2025 and operating from Singapore, Australia, and the UAE, Vanyar provides advisory, build, AI agent development, platform operations, and training services. Visit vanyar.com.
